There are lots of different measures for lots of different things when it comes to Warcraft. Some are obvious like logs and meters while others are a bit more subtle. I’m going to share a little secret here about one of the things I look for when rogues put in an application to Ladies of Destiny. When looking at their spec, one of the things I look for is Glyph of Tricks of the Trade. Why? Because rogues are notorious for doing everything they can to increase their own DPS, even at the expense of others and that glyph does just the opposite.

It’s been proven time and time again that for every PvE rogue spec (Combat and Mutilate), the rogue could get better personal DPS by using some other glyph but the Glyph of Tricks of the Trade actually results in a much higher raid DPS. A rogue that is willing to take a personal hit on the meters while at the same time pushing somebody else ahead by another couple percent or more is more likely to be the same rogue who spends energy on interrupts, defensive cooldowns and debuffing.

And if you do ever run into a rogue who doesn’t have Tricks of the Trade glyphed? Shun the nonbeliever! Shuuuunnnnnnnn!!!
