Rogue T10 Stats

In summary, when comparing the T10 set stats to the T9 Level 245 Garona’s Battlegear it’s no surprise it provides a considerable upgdrade. Please note the Attack Power and Critical Strike Rating stats in the table below don’t include the AP and Crit gained from Agility (they are merely the Equip bonuses).

Stats T9 T10 Change
Agility 562 646 84
Stamina 610 646 36
Attack Power 717 801 84
Armor Penetration Rating 149 223 74
Critical Strike Rating 247 422 175
Expertise Rating 133 80 -53
Hit Rating 215 0 -215
Haste Rating 0 63 63

On top of this the +84 agility between T9 and T10 will give you another +84 attack power and +46 crit rating (+1% crit).

In total the change from T9 to T10 in terms of attack power and critical strike rating is significant:

Total AP & Crit T9 T10 Change
Attack Power 1279 1447 168
Critical Strike Rating 553 778 225
Critical Strike Chance 12.05% 16.94% 4.90%

Don’t forget this is before we even look at the other slot items AND we’ve got those lovely set bonuses to take into consideration too…

Rogue T10 Bonuses

  • 2-Piece Bonus – Your Tricks of the Trade ability now grants you 15 energy instead of costing energy.
  • 4-Piece Bonus – Gives your melee finishing moves a 13% chance to add 3 combo points to your target.

Gems

On the gem front we are going to be better off with 2 more red sockets in the T10 and none of those crappy blue sockets:

Gem Sockets T9 T10 Change
Yellow 0 2 2
Red 3 5 2
Blue 4 0 -4

Overall

I like the look of the T10 set, I like the bonuses, gems and stats. Win. Win. WIN!

Thanks to World of Raids for making my day!
