Question - entering post TBL game this weekend have a group make up question (1 Viewer)

[519helvis]

so ive been running 24 diff toons and been sitting at the 110 TBL level cap for a bit until i had a solid 6 -12 toons ready for cov tov tol etc. my main group thus far has been war/bst/shm/brd/zerk/zerk

i learned recently that rogues and rangers do a significant amt of dmg due to HS and assasinate etc compared to decap in these three expacs. i currently have 4 accts ToL enabled and am purchasing tol for two more this weekend. what are your thoughts for pros/cons on subbing in a rogue for one of the zerkers. (important to note that on my main/driving acct i have the war and an SK to utilize so i plan on swapping in and out as needed). im mainly looking to do the best option for more dps as you can never have enough. would i be best off sticking with my original setup? or will the rogue greatly increase the group dps?

i play on test server if that hs any influence

You wont see any massive difference between the zerk zerk and a zerk rog combo.

If you have the time already invested in the two zerk's - then I would stick with that.

I did some parses of over trash 1000 mobs and zerk was always marginally better, but personally I actually prefer the utility the rog brings. SOS is a handy tool, so I usually run zerk rog and dont notice much difference.

To me, this is the key. What is your time and money worth?

I don't know rogues at all, though. Zerkers do have a pretty low AA pool to fill (compared to something like a shaman or shadowknight).

To be fair, I don't know Beastlords for shit, either...but Sic & CWTN do... So, it can all work out. Don't worry, be happy.

I don't think the HS/assassinate comes into play until you reach ToL if that affects your decision any. I agree with other posts though- if you're happy with what you have, it's fine. Your Zerks will be murdering stuff too quickly for you to notice the lack of HS or assassinate.

My zerk / zerk group consistantly out dpses my zerk / rogue group both were max aa and similar gear up to the current expansion.

Outside of utilities like mentioned above I would say there is no significant change

Depends where you go.

If you wanna live in Ka Vethan where literally everything is humanoid, I group with Rogues averaging 1.2mil DPS or more across a whole play session (Zerk's don't come close to that).

But that's one zone in the expansion, everywhere else has a mixture of mob types which stops Rogues shining quite so much

TOV/COV.. Hs/As doesnt play much part there, loved my zerkerx2. ToL.. at least half the mobs seem to be Ha/As so once there, rog are amazing.
