Hello fellow SoMers,
With access to tier 0.5 quests rogue Darkmantle set is OP and equal in power to AQ gear. And it is probably the only one that really stands out from all 0.5 tier sets.
So, there’s a lot of speculations that rogues are going to be top DPS class in the game.
Here I want to point out a few things that won’t make it a reality for most rogues.
-
Top items like helm, shoulders, chest and pants are hard to farm because they mostly drop from the last bosses of top-level hardest dungeons.
-
Quests to upgrade the set are difficult.
-
They require grouping up with other players who have no interest in their set upgrade.
-
They require a lot of gold which at the beginning of the game will be sparse.
-
Devilsaur set removes the use of gloves and pants.
-
Bracers and the belt are the weakest pieces hence to maximise the power a rogue would need to complete the last part of the upgrade quest Saving the Best for Last is the most difficult park involving summoning a very hard extra boss in UBRS.
-
Items that BOE bracers, belt and gloves will be very expensive on the AH too.
Based on my own experience it takes a long, long time to complete and some gear from the raids will make it very difficult to match the 4 pieces. So if you’re planning to be a top dog rogue think trice to go for it.
Please share your thoughts on it!
