Help with rogue gear.

I can't decide which shoulder item to buy. Should I get the AB shoulders or the Field Marshal shoulders. I'm not sure will provide more overall DPS at level 60 and continue to provide DPS while levelling to 70.

I'm partial to the PvP shoulders. Also, they look much cooler, whereas the AB shoulders share the same model as the Stormshroud Shoulders and the ZG shoulders.

Actually, I just realised, I should be going for Shadowcraft right now. Those will give me the 4 piece set bonus, which gives 40 AP, and they're alot better than my Stormshroud.

Re: Help with rogue gear.

The blue pvp shoulders are better dps then the marshals, but marshals have more stamina, and will be better in the long run if you plan on equipping most of the epic FM/M set.

Which I don't because it would take way too long in the BGs for my liking.

Re: Help with rogue gear.

Better if you get SC to upgrade to DM. The upgrades alone in that set allow it to rival T1. Still use .5 on my main over my T1 set. Add in 2/8 T2 and its even better along with the 30+ AP ZG enchant + with the 28+AP/1% dodge thing. Over 900AP unbuffed.

Plus till Blizz fixes it, there is a bug in the set. Found it when my AP totals would not record the correct amount. Say you have 6/8 DM...gets you the handy 35 energy regen + the 40AP. Well removing that normally would cause you to lose that 40AP right? Wrong, not always. Swap in T1 belt and you only lose 1AP but you gain another 1% crit. I don't know if this works with other belts but so far in my testing this issue only affects the belt of the .5 armor. When i've swapped out other gear it gives the accurate total.

But anyways with exp coming, you probably don't have time to gather up the .5 rogue gear. Don't know if this trick works on the SC set. Worth a shot if you happen to have it. One of these times I gotta run some numbers of my modified DM set and my modified T1 set. More AP vs more crit % type thing. Oh well, save it for another lazy time.
