Combat Rogue - DPS Loss on Skipping Rupture (4 replies to this topic)

Thank you , Icy-Veins, for the 5.0.4 rogue class guides. As always, they've been tremendously helpful in the process of setting up the optimal rotations, cooldown usage, reforge, gems, enchants, etc.

I have a question about skipping Rupture for Combat Rogues and the subsequent DPS loss in doing so.

Unlike, Assassination with Venomous Wounds and Subtlety with Sanguinary Vein, Combat has no passive abilities that boost the benefits of Rupture. I believe skipping Rupture would be less of a dps loss for Combat compared to Assassination and Subtlety.

What would SimCraft advise for level 90 Combat Rogues with T14 gear?

If anyone else could run the simulation though, that'd be great!

although i didn't run stimulation

If you check logs from new fights all combat rogues using rupture for single target
exception is only multi target fights when you are using blade flurry

check out post on ElitJerks (they did some stimu runs) about rupture.

Just for information, I've just done a simulation with the Combat Rogue T14H profile in SimC, and not using Rupture is a 1.5% DPS loss.

When I'm running combat I toss one up when I can, but don't worry about it too much. Keeping SnD up is way more important.
