New Level 85 EP Values for all Rogues

The Level 85 EP values are now in (okay so it looks like they were popped in about 4 days ago on the 2nd but I;m thinking I can be forgiven for being a bit slow). This time unlike the Level 80 values in 4.0.1 the EP values have been calculated for all the rogue talent builds (Subtlety Rogues rejoice!).  These new numbers do mean some of our older Cataclysm posts will get tweaked so tune in to Twitter to keep on eye on the changes tonight.

Obviously it looks like Agility is still the most powerful stat we can obtain across the board for all rogue builds which is to be expected. Aside from this we can see Mastery has improved slightly especially in Combat but at the moment it's still not enough to make any real difference landing Mastery and Crit at the bottom of our wish list. Haste also seems to have calmed down considerably and our stats are looking a little more balanced then they were at Level 80. 

These values will affect other areas of your rogue such as reforging, enchants and gemming so these posts will be updated accordingly in the next hour or so.

While Expertise may look low for Assassination rogues and Spell Hit looks low for Combat and Subtlety rogues I would still highly recommend obtaining the expertise and poison caps before you start stacking other stats like haste. Essentially speaking the more powerful your attacks are the more you miss out on when not properly capped but at the end of the day it's always been good class advice to reach caps first before concentrating on other stats for the rest of the way to create an adequate stat balance.
