Stats for Gear in Phase 1 as Combat Rogue

The overall goal of Combat Rogues in Wrath Classic when gearing is to ensure that they meet two caps: the Poison Hit cap and the Expertise cap.

You can read more about these on our stats page linked below, as well as the relative worth beyond reaching the caps.

Emblems of Heroism and Valor

Below you can find the items to buy with your emblems in Phase 1.

Note that, other than the Mirror of Truth Icon Mirror of Truth and Mantle of the Lost Vanquisher Icon Mantle of the Lost Vanquisher, none of these items are part of your Phase 1 "ideal" BiS, so you should prioritize buying the other items based on what you need to replace.
