| This post is in response to a question I received from a fellow arena player. I’ve posted it here as a reference for future players who may encounter a similar question.
Rogue Arena Gem Question… Recently ive wondered if its better to stack agility (8agi) gems or attack power (16ap) gems. I have seen some rogues with one or the other, and now im not sure which is more beneficial. If anyone knows or can recommend something, please do,Aion Gold! Rogue Arena Gems Answers… Zuggy’s Response: Personally,FFXIV Gil, I’m a fan of the attack power gems. Simply because stacking AP gives you a direct increase in damage on every hit. Greater AP = Greater damage. Agility gives you aparmorcritdodge…and while some rogues find this school of thought appealing,FFXIV Gold, it’s just not for me. I don’t really care about defensive stats and crit is simply a chance to do additional damage. The only way you could really justify all agility gems would if you were a fully committed sub rogue. Otherwise, I still think you should stack AP gems instead. S-Scythe’s Response: I prefer AP simply because I play more than one spec for PVP. I play Shadowstep and Combat so AP serves use for both of these specs. Whereas Agility really only benefits the 15% bonus of a Shadowstep spec. So if you only utilize a shadowstep spec in pvp I’d definitely say go for it,cheapest wow gold, but if you change up specs for different teams AP is your optimal choice. Diggu’s Response: This is a question that doesn’t have a straight-forward answer imo. I like Zug’s comment about the different specs. I personally enchanem for Agility (if it’s not a hit gem) for PvE. Assuming you’re Combat PvE spec, the Agi (according to Elitist Jerks spreadsheets and others) maximizes your dps. For PvP most of what I have seen is AP gemming. I seem to remember a lot of our top PvP rogues on Manno used to gem Agi back beforuring S1,Buy FFXIV Gil, but now that everyone in Arena has 400+ resil,Cheap FFXIV Gil, they all have AP gems. |
