This is my old rogue I am gearing up currently. Well with WoW down I set to really read thru the pocket guide and d/l the spreadsheets etc. It appears that arm pen is rated higher than anything else now? So should I be aiming to gem that over agil? (I know a few pts in my spec need to be moved I haven't respecced since hitting 80 and I enjoy unfair adv. for casual pvp).

Are there threshold points where suddenly one stat out-weighs another (like at 320 hit or so hit drops drastically and arm-pen bumps up).

This link btw is fucking tight. Talk about saving time.

ArP is a stat that the more you have (closer you are to 100%) the more benefit it gives. Without a GT and gear to support it, it's less valuable than Agility and other stats.

That is because Armor value itself has diminishing returns. The more armor you have, the less % benefit you get from a point of armor. So as you reach the higher percentages, reducing an armor value from 3000-2000 is a lot more valuable than 6000-5000. That's the basics essentially. You can find me online if you wanna know more. :p

Hit is extremely valuable under the hit cap, less valuable under the poison hit cap (~310) and not very valuable above that cap.

Hit goes from an EP weight of 2.4 -> 1.2 after caps. Agility is ~2, and AP is 1 for reference.

I think Pessi (Ippon if you want to armory him) has the gear to support ArP, but didn't want to regem his Agi gems due to cost and that their difference is minimal (he's still raping meters).

They're nerfing the effectiveness of ArP in 3.2.2 a bit, i'm not sure if it's still better to gem for it with the changes.

It's a 12% nerf to ArP I believe. I don't think ArP will become a wasted stat though.
