Recent Updates
12/15/09
I've added more items and updated all of the links now that Wowhead is finally updated.
12/13/09
I've added dozens of items to my charts, thanks to the terrific work at MMO-Champion.
12/9/09
I have made several updates to my Northrend Guide for Rogues for the 3.3 patch. If you
previously purchased the guide, you can go back to the Download Link provided in your
"Order Info" e-mail to download the updated guide. If your Download Link has already
expired, you can use that link to request an additional download. If you've lost or deleted
your "Order Info" email, contact me and I'll send you a copy for your records. Thanks!!!
12/8/09
I have updated numerous charts and other resources for the 3.3.0 patch released today.
12/4/09
I've updated my Rogue Powerleveling Chart, adding all of the BoA heirloom gear while
removing all invalid enchantments from the low level enchantments sections of the chart.
12/3/09
I have updated the PVE Resources section of my Rogue Links page to reflect the patch
versions covered by each of the major spreadsheets currently in use by raiding Rogues.
12/2/09
I have finished updating source information for all 3.3 items thanks to MMO-Champion.
12/1/09
When I originally developed my Starter Gear charts, they were intended for Rogues who
were having a tough time finding groups - - players who had to rely on gearing up mostly
through solo efforts. For the most part, I limited those charts to gear that could easily be
crafted, purchased or acquired from quests with minimal instancing or group assistance. I
knew from experience that it can be hard for a Rogue to get into groups sometimes, and
once you did, you were often competing against half the party for decent loot. With the
upcoming Dungeon Finder system, getting into groups should be easier than ever, so I'm
now adding 5-man Dungeon/Heroic loot and Emblem items to my Starter Gear charts.
11/30/09
I've fixed an error in my 51-60 & 60-69 Twink formulas that was causing sockets to be
valued a tad high. Despite this change, socket values will vary depending upon your own
situation, as you wouldn't waste epic gems in leveling gear but might want them for PVP.
11/29/09
I've added more items to my charts while updating badge prices and source location info.
11/28/09
I've added dozens more 3.3 items to my charts. I've also fixed a few items that changed.
11/27/09
I have overhauled my Rogue Stat Formulas page to show the progression of stat values
from level 80 all the way down to level 1, based on Combat Rating ratios and stat value
calculations, courtesy of Whitetooth, the author of RatingBuster. I have incorporated the
updated AEP/MAEP values derived from that chart into all of my other charts, resulting
in a slight reordering of overall item rankings throughout. My Pawn scales page has also
been updated, with new scales having been added for each of the Twink level brackets.
As always, you can download my .XLS charts to use any values that work best for you.
11/16/09
I've added a few more items and updated links and source information on many others.
11/15/09
I've finished adding all of the currently known 3.3 items to my weapons and amor charts
(thanks to MMO-Champion), but I'm still waiting for Wowhead to update all of its links.
11/14/09
I've added a few more 3.3 weapons to my charts. I'll be adding more 3.3 armor next.
11/13/09
I have added dozens of new Icecrown Citadel items to my armor and weapons charts.
11/12/09
I've started adding new 3.3 gear to my charts, starting with badge & quest reward gear.
11/2/09
I've added specs (16/0/55 and 51/6/14) to my PVP Specs page. These specs are being
used by a few successful Rogues listed in the top 500 of SK Gaming's Rogue Rankings.
11/1/09
I've made a few updates to all of my armor and weapons charts. I corrected the source
information for previous season Arena items (some of which are no longer available, yet
others now can be obtained by collecting armor tokens from BC raids.) I also removed
inferior items from many of those charts to reduce chart sizes and speed up downloads.
I also added new Twink Pawn scales for low level twink gear to my Pawn scales page.
10/31/09
I've corrected some errors in the uptime calculations for trinkets in my level 80 charts.
Those adjustments have resulted in a slight reordering of the rankings of those trinkets.
10/18/09
I have corrected a mistake in my Pawn formulas that was causing weapon speeds to be
calculated incorrectly. I have also added the new Headless Horseman gear to my charts.
10/17/09
I finally decided to powerlevel Engineering for both of my Rogues so they could have the
ability to shock one another back to life whenever either would perish while dual boxing
my way through instances. This project has inspired me to develop a new powerleveling
guide. However, unlike other powerleveling guides, this spreadsheet gives you the ability
to select alternate schematics, calculate material costs and customize your own personal
powerleveling plan based on resource availabilities and AH price fluctuations. Enjoy!!!
Powerleveling Spreadsheet for Engineering
Customizable .XLS Version
Static .HTM Version
You can find more information about
this new powerleveling guide here.
9/25/09
I've made several updates to my Northrend Guide for Rogues for the 3.2.2 patch. If you
previously purchased the guide, you can go back to the Download Link provided in your
"Order Info" e-mail to download the updated guide. If your Download Link has already
expired, you can use that link to request an additional download. If you've lost or deleted
your "Order Info" email, contact me and I'll send you a copy for your records. Thanks!!!
9/23/09
I've finally gotten around to updating my level 80 AEP/MAEP formulas for the 3.2/3.2.2
patches. Armor Penetration, which received a nerf in this latest patch, actually increased
in value in my Combat MAEP formula, since it seems that I was previously undervaluing
it. All of these changes have also been added to my Armor Sets chart and Pawn scales.
As always, you can download my .XLS charts to use any values that work best for you.
9/22/09
I've added all of the new Direbrew gear to my charts, including the iLvl 226 BoE Mace.
9/19/09
In preparation for the 3.2.2 patch, I've made updates to my PVE and PVP talent specs.
9/3/09
I've made numerous changes to my site to include adding all Arena Season 7 gear to my
charts, updating the prices for Arena Season 6 gear, moving Deadly/Furious items to my
Starter Gear charts, updating source and location information for most 3.2 items as well
as all heirloom items. I have also updated my Blacksmithing and Leatherworking guides.
8/18/09
I finally got around to updating my PVP Armories Chart. I was interested to see if any
of them had actually been using the Fan of Knives build before it gets nerfed. Just one.
8/17/09
I have updated my Northrend Guide for Rogues for the 3.2 patch. I've added a few new
sections to the guide as well as updating information in several other sections. If you have
previously purchased the guide, you can go back to the Download Link provided in your
"Order Info" e-mail to download the updated guide. If your Download Link has already
expired, you can use that link to request an additional download. If you've lost or deleted
your "Order Info" email, contact me and I'll send you a copy for your records. Thanks!!!
8/14/09
I've added several items from the 3.2.2 Onyxia's Lair to my Armor & Weapons charts.
8/13/09

8/11/09
I have updated numerous resources on my site with various changes from the 3.2 patch,
including Armor, Weapons, Professions, Consumables, Enchantments and Gems charts.
8/10/09
I've added 50+ items to my Armor charts, many with same names but different iLvl/stats.
8/9/09

in my endgame Armor and Weapons charts. I have updated my Pawn page accordingly.

In preparation for the 3.2 patch, I have started adding Axes to my main weapons charts.
6/14/09
I've updated AEP/MAEP socket values in my charts to match my Gems charts. Those
adjustments have also been reflected on my Pawn and AEP/MAEP Formulas pages.
5/16/09
I've made numerous improvements to my site. I have finished updating the AEP/MAEP
formulas in all of my charts. I've incorporated various 3.1.2 Rogue changes throughout,
and I revised my Glyphs, PVE & PVP specs charts to provide more useful information.
5/15/09
I've been working on a complete overhaul of my level 80 charts & formulas the past few
weeks. I've removed many unnecessary fields like Armor, Defense, Parry & Dodge and
used that extra space to add several new PVE MAEP columns - - one each for Mutilate
Combat and HAT ratings. In addition to those changes, I have made some considerable
modifications to the way I rate and rank weapons. This is all still a work in progress and
some of my charts haven't been updated yet, but I think many players should find the end
results more useful. I've gone ahead and updated my Pawn scales with the new formulas.
5/2/09
I have updated stats on recently buffed Leatherworking items on my Twink Armor chart.
5/1/09

As always, you can download my .XLS charts to use whatever values work best for you.
4/16/09
I've fixed most of the links that were pointing to the old Wowhead PTR pages. Next I'll be

4/14/09
Patch 3.1 came out today, but I've been so busy working on other projects that I haven't
been able to update much other than the new/changed items over the past few weeks. To
give you an idea, I have over 50 unanswered emails sitting in my Inbox with more coming
in each day. I plan on updating the remaining stuff affected by the patch as soon as I can.

Hateful Gladiator items which do not require any Arena ratings to my Starter Gear charts.
2/2/09
Since Heirloom items were announced, various sites have posted conflicting information
concerning these items. Originally, it was believed that they only changed stats every ten
levels, but apparently their stats improve every level. I have updated my all of my Twink
charts to reflect the most accurate stats I could find. Thanks to Kerb for your assistance.
1/30/09
If you've been farming Zandalar rep to enchant Zandalar Signet of Might on your twink's
heirloom shoulders, you can stop now. Blizzard stealth nerfed that enchantment in 3.0.8.
However, you can still enchant them with Greater Inscription of the Gladiator, for now...
1/28/09
I have updated multiple pages on my site over the past week. Significant changes include
updated dagger MAEP values, trinket ratings, Pawn scales and numerous updates to my
Rogue Links page, which now has separate 1v1 & 2v2 strategies vs. counter-strategies.
1/21/09
I have updated my charts for the 3.0.8 patch. My BS & LW guides were also updated.
1/16/09
I am frequently asked if I know of any useful sites for other classes. Well, here you go:

Today ends three straight months of daily updates to my site. I hope everyone likes the

for me to take a short break from working on the site to actually play the game. Enjoy!
