While testing out the beta Combat spreadsheet by Aldriana, I spent some time playing around with the gems. The last time I did such thing was in early July.

Well, who would've guessed? It turns out that if I swapped all of my Agility gems, including Dragon's Eyes, I'd get a ~2 DPS increase. I tend to often trust my spreadsheet blindly, and rarely there have been cases of it letting me down, apart from the situations which such model can't foresee.
If I were active with playing the rogue, it'd be a no-brainer to dish out some
emblems
and
tokens
for the
Fractured Cardinal Ruby
's and
Fractured Dragon's Eyes
in order to get the most out of my gear.
However lately I haven't raided, and possibly won't be for a month or two.
Would you spend the money on 11 epic gems to get a theoretical 2 DPS upgrade?

Probably playing the role of Captain Obvious here, but doing the wintergrasp weekly's? and the daily PvP, maximizing by converting the WG tokens, keepers shards, and any random BG marks to honor, another few gems can be had fairly quickly for little effort.
Money isn't a problem for me, since I have accumulated a sufficient sum. What concerns me more, is it worth spending money for a negligible upgrade when I'm not even gonna use it too often?

arp is not really good for rogues, even combat has lots of his damage coming from poisons and rupture.
ap if not 4t8, agi instead.
and the t9 gear sucks, all the offsets pieces have arp on them....and 2 of the t9 have. wtf why i should change? didn't tested yet, but dunno how much dps provides a 4t9 bonus.

Rupture ticks should crit regardless of set bonus imo.

I wouldn't do it Liquoid, and that's if you trust the 2DPS increase the spreadsheet claims. Do you have Mjolnir's?

Let's hope that this change will be in next expansion, I love the idea.
Just 2 dps? Lol.
That's what I'm thinking.
On the other hand
, there is a little raider's voice at the back of my head saying "
It's an increase!"
. At the same time there is another voice screaming "
But it's *!@#ing expensive!"
. So here I am, torn between decisions.
Off-topic:
Once we get 4pcT9, AP will be the favored stat to gem for, amirite?
