Muti Weapons in 3.0Follow

From what I'm seeing not really. So far my best results were with slow/fast (in build 9014), but I haven't done a comparison between slow/slow and fast/fast yet, just versus a combat build. I'd guess slow/fast will work out to be tops but won't know for sure until this weekend.

I'd expect another build (or two) before beta goes live. My best advice is to wait it out, don't spend any honor or badges just yet and loot all the daggers you come across.

Focused Attacks.

Badge weapons are tits if you can float the badges.

I'm almost halfway to muh Mutilator!

A ****** with higher ratings than you at the end of season!

What's wrong with the Mutilator?

It's odd really.

You spec mutilate and "The Mutilator" ends up being a sucky weapon for you.

But by the same thought, the equivalent shiv will always be better in PvE.

I don't think it makes a big enough difference in PvP to notice, but I didn't play mut for very long before switching to HARP.

I'm going Muti in 3.0, I already have Emerald Ripper from Moroes.

I have about 69 Badges in the bank and was planning on picking up Venir's Left Fist of Savagery. The new spreadsheet covering the talent changes for the next patch has it as a higher DPS than the Swift Blade of Uncertainty. Due to the +haste on the fists.

But is there any reason not to get the fist off-hand? Is there a reason I should go with the dagger/dagger over dagger/fist, that the spreadsheet and I are not seeing?

That's what I'm talking about in a week when the patch hits.

It's really just to have apropriate weapons. My only "true" options between patch and the expansion are to get badge weapons. So that means my choices are those two off-hand weapons and the emeral ripper as the main hand. I could use the emerald ripper as the off-hand, but it seems like it would be to slow as an off-hand.

Edit: And I did MH/OH that's why I said dagger/fist, the weapons linked are offhand only weapons.

Mutilate requires you to have 2 daggers equipped. So if you're going Muti in 3.0 and you have badges to spend, looks like your answer is obvious, no?

I would seriously wait for a couple of days after 3.0 lands before you spend anything though. Right now there is some "curiosity" in the way the numbers are working out for daggers of different speeds for Muti in 3.0. From what I've see, fast/fast is preferred at the moment, but that could very easily change at launch or in the first patch.

I'm slow, read the mutilate spell a few times over and each time missed the "requires daggers" part... so disregard above question the Swift Blade it is.

As for waiting, it's not really a choice, or a big deal to be honest. I don't have many options as far as getting a new weapon besides the badge ones. I'm pretty much only going to be going to Kara on a weekly basis with the guild. Any other time will be spent leveling my alts to 70. So I won't be running heroics for more badges.

If I were Blizzard I'd implement energy regeneration based on weapon speed from Focused Attacks. 1.40 gets 2e, 1.80 gets 3-4e. That would balance it in favor of 1.80.

But in that respect Theo, you could get a 2.6 speed sword as assassination and get 8 energy per crit making a very capable spec as 40/0/31 or something along those lines, they would have to alter to only include daggers otherwise I believe that spec would be very strong...
