I've updated my level 70 Weapons Charts with Item Levels and Wowhead links with mouseover tooltips.

6/24/08

I have updated my Arena/Karazhan Ready guides for the start of Arena Season 4. If you have previously
purchased a guide, you can go back to the Download Link provided in your "Order Info" email to download
the updated guide. If your Download Link has expired, you can use that link to request additional downloads.

I've created a new chart that's specifically tailored towards players who have tons of gold and want to level
up an Alt / Twink Rogue as quickly as possible. This chart contains the best possible gear, enchantments &
consumables that can be purchased to powerlevel your Rogue. This chart doesn't include Quest/BoP items,
so you'll want to cross-reference my Twink Charts to see if specific upgrades are really worth purchasing.

Kagero has created configuration settings for using the Pawn mod to calculate AEP/MAEP values in game.

After receiving requests from multiple players, I've added a Rogue Avoidance Tank Armor Chart to my site.
This chart is based on the excellent work done by Gaeowyn of Illidan, a Rogue who has successfully tanked
Mother Shahraz and Gruul, in addition to other bosses. Rogue Avoidance Tanking relies heavily on Agility,
Defense Rating, Dodge Rating and Parry Rating to achieve 100% or better avoidance from physical attacks.

I've made some adjustments to my Weapons charts, increasing the MAEP value for DPS and decreasing the
MAEP value for Average Damage. Now that I've broken out the Weapon Ratings into two distinctly different
fields (AEP for PVP and MAEP for PVE) I felt that these adjustments were necessary to better reflect PVE
main hand rankings. As always, my charts don't take talent specs into account, so if you don't like the values
I've used, you're welcome to download my customizable XLS Charts and use whatever values work for you.

I have just finished revising my Arena/Karazhan Ready guides for the new 2.4 patch. If you have previously
purchased a guide, you can go back to the Download Link provided in your "Order Info" email to download
the updated guide. If your Download Link has expired, you can use that link to request additional downloads.

I've updated my Nature Resistance Gear Chart to help people prepare for Felmyst from Sunwell Plateau.

3/14/08

I've been making various improvements to my site over the past few weeks:

1. I added 2 separate links to each Armory in my PVP Rogue Armories Chart in case one site is down.
2. I added Wowhead links to each of the items and abilities in my Stealth Chart and Leveling Tips page.
3. I added a set of Sample Attack Routines for increasing numbers of targets to my Leveling Tips page.
4. I added Wowhead links to my Talent Spec charts, and updated the Shadowstep and Mutilate specs.

3/11/08

I know that this has been long overdue, but I've finally updated my Fire Resistance Gear Chart.

3/2/08

I'm always looking for ways to improve the usefulness of my charts. With this in mind, I've converted all of the
links in my main level 70 armor charts to Wowhead links, complete with built-in mouseover tooltips. Enjoy!

Lately, I've noticed some players on the Rogue Forums using some of my charts incorrectly, so I've made a FAQ
to answer common questions about my site and to clear up some confusion about how to properly use my charts.

To help people navigate my site more easily, I've created two separate resource pages:

Shadow Panther's PVP Resources

I've added more 2.4 items to my armor/weapons charts and I've also revised my Talent Spec charts by adding
2.4 Mutilate specs that include the new Puncturing Wounds talent that will be replacing Improved Backstab.

2/10/08

I've started adding new items from the 2.4 PTR to my Armor and Weapons charts.

2/10/08

I've consolidated a few of my charts and tried to organize my site a little bit better.
One change that I've made is to remove the redundant DAEP formula from my charts.
Now there are two main formulas being used - - AEP for PVP and MAEP for PVE.
I also split the weapon AEP column in my weapons charts into AEP/MAEP columns.
Hopefully these changes will reduce confusion and make my charts more user friendly.

Happy New Year!

I've put together a chart that compares the specs, ratings, stats, gear, gems and enchantments
of certain noteworthy and influential PVP Rogues from the Rogue Forums. This information
can be used to help you see what some of the "pros" are doing to maximize their gear and stats
for high-level PVP. This data is a static snapshot of their current Armory info as of today.
