Survival!

I'm goin shs again, maybe not all the way down to shadow dance because i'm still not a fan of the mechanic.
I'm only pvping randomly on my rogue though, most of my gametime now is on my levelling druid since my guild is kinda awol till LK.

http://wotlk.wowhead.com/?talent=fhecoxMsiroIzVo0xZhb

my rogue will be HFB, and he will tear people apart

:D my priest is gonna be divine aegis, thats fun as hell on beta... should be interesting at least on live ^_^

not, because my pc is out to get upgraded a bit in preparation for WotLK.
Once it's back (probably next week, depends on when I have the time to pick it up) I'll have to level to 10 first :P

And make a character.. that'll probably take more time that leveling to lvl 10.
After all that it'll be combat all the way until I can go Mut.

Mutilate, probably, though I'm going to seriously miss not having Prep for a bit. If it's too hard to bare I'll go back to my Seal Fate/Premed hybrid I've currently got.

i hear that thomas.... i got a badge offhand, malch, and the ripper too lol

ill be using malch, since its enchanted +7 dmg.... my ripper is battlemaster lol back when my twin battle master idea was new n exciting (but not that good.... and def not worth the NEW mat cost, jesus christ lol)

I'm going to try going back to mutilate. I enjoyed that build quite a bit when I did it before and I'm anxious to try it out with all the changes.

Agreed, Imp Evis shows lower DPS than Envenom cycles far as I can tell. Fleet Footed is trumped by Cat's Swiftness enchant to boots. Vigor also. I found that without glyphs the 2 finisher cycles were just fine with some energy pooling, with glyphs 3 finisher cycles work great as well.

This is the build I found offered up the best DPS for me once I got the hang of the 3 timers thing. Kinda reminds me of running an Affliction Lock.

ummm... I wouldn't?

See it's nice when you know your own weaknesses are working double time against you, but you can come here and get some sense smacked into ya'. I don't mind ignoring or absorbing the reactions of all the math people here who don't understand how a scatter-brained math-tard like me can be as successful as I've been as a rogue.

Precision first. I did find Reposte pretty helpful sometimes while leveling but you can't compare it to the +Hit of one of Combats foundation talents.

Imp SnD is a generally a raiding talent and Imp Evis is more useful while leveling imho. Be sure you're concentrating on stunning mobs more than just pumping out big numbers. I found that I could often Cheap Shot and Kidney Shot mobs long enough to kill them without taking much damage at all, or very nearly. This increases uptime which equals more xp/hour.

Cheers.

Thanks. I had planned on using KS once I get it instead of Evis, but I'm glad to hear that I was right that Imp evis would probably help me more.

Riposte, I'm kinda iffy on, since I hardly ever notice any parrys and I can't really see myself getting that many more with an extra 6%. I'll probably just stick with precision. Thanks again for your help!

To be clear: I'm suggesting Precision 5/5 for all Combat builds (and most Mutilate builds after the patch). Didn't intend to sound like "Precision OR Reposte".. Stack Precision first, if you have the points after that Resposte can be helpful while leveling.

Good luck!

Maybe someone can help me, i am only lvl 62 combat spec atm, and with this new revamp i am kinda confused on what i should do.

Could anyone please suggest a simple combat build for me?

Thanks.
