gonna test a tricky tricky buildFollow

with the upcoming hemo nerf, i wonder... what could be a darkhorse-kinda way of dealing with that?

dont get me wrong, im still in LOVE with shadowstep... but i got respec ADD and boredom at work = ideas

and thus

"you WROTE the hemo explanation! BACKSTAB?! THE @#%^ DUDE"

hehe, well yea... but any of you who know me for a while, know before BC i was hemo/ambush macro'd

the concept:
hemo goodies, similar to the 17-3-41 shadowstep, just less mobility... rush em down to the under 35% mark

then.... gouge, swap, backstab!

my gear.. ill be sporting at LEAST a 70% pre-resil crit chance on backstab... considering i got

5/5 oppo, dirty deeds active, EA on ahead of time, COLD BLOOD, imp ks

i foresee some vicious VICIous ends to a healers life

gouge, swap bs, 5pt ks, bs

should be twin 2k+ crits, coldblood if i need it for something (blind vanish ambush ks backstab perhaps)

no priest or resto sham is gonna see THAT coming :)

ill run this after my arenas this week and give it a lil testing.... 3pts for a hemo build with some much-needed burst damage that isnt cooldown dependant.. hmm im interested..

(side note, might convert my test to a sealfate version for gouge-bs-ks-bs-cb-evis style, but i aint sure yet)

I can see this working in BGs, but only because there's so many people, it's easy to lose track of sneaky rogues.

For arenas, I'm predicting that you'll get facepwned. If you're going to kill somebody, namely a healer, chances are they're going down no matter what. If they're able to heal and stay alive, chances are you won't see them below 35% anyways.

Good luck, and make sure to write up a full report.
