Assassination questionFollow

this would prob. be the best of both worlds for ya

And also... Murder?? 2% damage increased. Why would i waste the 2 point in there when i could but it in Improved Kidney shot? The IKS will give me 6% damage from all sources. Murder seems useless.

No Hemorrage in the setup? i hear so much talk about it.

So does most everybody agree that assassination tree does more dps then the combat tree? I am talking PvE, i have a level 44 rogue at the moment and wanting to know which tree to go into for best dps.

You can switch out camo for MoD, but if you learn to live without it it will make u a better rogue..use distract!



If a boss or mob is immune to stun then Improved KS is useless



No, combat does more damage, but ***. runs a nice 2nd. The lack of position requirements in combat make doing Damage much easier.

That looks like my exact build come 70. I will be switching out the sub specs for combat though, since I plan on mostly raiding.



MoD is nice in BGs and such, but in PvE you should be using distract, as mentioned by another poster. You might could swap around a couple points into both, but I find Camo to be more useful.



Again, as another poster mentioned, 2% all the time is better than 6% some times. Also, in a raid, you won't be kidney shotting unless you are catching a runner or something. You should be using SnD and Rupture in a raid. Imp KS is better for PvP, but you are trying to find the balance between that and PvE.



You can't reach Hemo and Mutilate. You wouldn't use Hemo in a Muti build anyway, since it is not as energy efficient.



QFT

Overall, Mutilate is a fun and viable spec, but it has its weak spots. Consider your playstyle and choose the spec that is right for you.

Well if he is aking these types of questions, he is not at the point where the difference is that crucial, and if you do the math combat daggers out does swords for damage output.

/agree

Combat daggers in theroy craft will out damage swords, but it is very dependent on factors.So what i said holds true



He's was asking an Assassination question, so if you have nothing to offer then wait until the title says "comat swords question"

If it were possible to include a variable for positioning, and poisons(for Muti if thats what you want) then it wouldn't beat it in theory.

And what exactly is the gear that you need for Mutilate spec? Feel free to check my armory and let me know if my gear does not meet your requirements to use the spec, but as I see it, I have been mutilate since 50, it is a very viable spec fore PvE and PvP and I see no reason to change or not suggest it to other players considering the build.



There are some people in the world (of Warcraft) that want to do more with their toons than spam SS and eviscerate all the way to 70. And it makes no sense for you to come in and say a person "better" use a specific spec when raiding. Are you going to come to their server and corpse camp them if they don't?

Yo, PRO MUTILATE USER ALERT. Nice 1.4 off hand you got there bro, nice 19% critical rate there kid. Nice 792 AP you have there. Yeah you been using Mutilate since 50? I have been using Mutilate on and off for about a year now, and I am well aware what the spec is capable of and what the spec needs. If you wanna have fun or versatility go with whatever spec you want, if you are serious about actually earning your spot in raids then spec Combat. OH WAIT, the best specs for arenas right now are HARP, Deep Combat, and Deep Sub.

Viable spec? Sure, but so are SF Swords, but you don't see competent Rogues using that build.



Yeah and those are the same people who want to spend more time leveling and less time doing end game.

Also, there are some people like those in your guild who don't want to take a **** poor Rogue to a raid and rather take another competent class.

And I am well aware of your guild on Gorgonnash, you guys haven't done much raiding-wise so let me give you a little advice, during progression you don't want to be smash your head into the wall more than you have to, so your guild and class leaders should be forcing people to use the best spec possible. Afterwards when you have the material on farm, sure spec whatever you want, but no reason to be gimping your damage and your guild because you don't like something, thats just selfish.

Oh yeah, keep putting points into Sub with that build.

Unfortunately, it isn't. Some specs are better than others for certain things. Personal preference should always take a backseat to effectiveness. That's the entire reason why mages walk around with fiery enchant on their staves because it looks "cool," or why hunters are DWing with icy and demonslaying enchants.
