Best Combat Spec bashing ever seen lolFollow

Hi all,

I am a Combat Fist Rogue and I was just browsing the Thottbot Rogue Forum and found the most spectacular Combat Spec Bashing ever seen. It had me in tears rofl.

Instead of posting that "wall of text" here is the link to the page http://thottbot.com/v3812025?page=4

It is at the bottom of the page, about 4 posts up.

Enjoy.

Wow....just wow.

The main problem in this thread is that you were browsing Thottbot.

Wowhead or you're bad, tbh.

I'd remove Thottbot from my bookmarks forever, if wowhead would just let you enter the quest name in the search field (as opposed to looking through a list of continents, zones/sub-zones and finally a long-*** list of quests).

You should do what you like the best. IF you get a decent dagger to replace your fist weapon and you want to try out Mutilate, then go for it. There isn't a spec that you "have" to level as.

It is all personal preference, tbh.

Uh, you can do that.

Example: looking for the quest "Blood is Thicker" (new fishing daily)

1) Start typing "blood is"

2) Watch as Blood is Thicker is your second option by the time you finish typing "is".

3) ???

4) Profit.

Thottbot sucks. Hard.

Woah, it DOES work. Buhbye thottbot.

Monoball, i would personally go mutilate if you're still leveling around 66. Maybe a build something like this:

Remorseless Attacks is nice to get 5 CP guaranteed on a target after a Cheap Shot, Mutilate opener. Then a 5 point evis that gives you 25 energy back. With overkill, you should be able to instantly Mutilate and evis again. Mobs are dead before the cheap shot stun wears off. Throw in cold blood anytime you want a spectacular 5 point eviscerate crit.

I'd probably invest into Serrated Blades, Precision and Close Quarters Combat as more talent points become available.

edit: As far as major glyphs go, Mutilate and Vigor are both good, the former especialy to get 45 energy Mutilates from stealth.

Nah.

WP/WP, slow/slow.

CS (wait for poisons) -> mut -> mut -> evis, dead mob. KS if the mob isn't at less than 50% HP after your muts.

Obviously, since mutilate requires daggers to work.

You probably don't have capped dagger skill, ergo lower crit. It makes absolutely no sense to lose 5% crit unless you were using fists.

Keep in mind you get 15% crit on mutilates from Puncturing Wounds.

Unfortunately, that's a bit incorrect.

So your rank of stealth reduces your move speed by 30%. (Thanks Wowhead.)
You're sneaking around funkily due to the graphics change in 3.1, at 70% of your speed.
Ok, so you decide to talent Camouflage.
Woo! A bonus 15% of that speed, or 10.5% of the original 100, is added. You're now at 80.5% speed.
Now you talent Fleet Footed.
80.5%*.15=12.075%.
80.5%+12.075%=92.575% of your original speed, but remember, you have Fleet Footed, so you're going at 92.575% instead of 115%.
To the ones unit, Carbonite's built-in speed tracker is an easy way to confirm this. You also shouldn't really need to stealth until you're like... 11 yards away from an enemy, especially if they are lower level, as you said earlier. It's much better to go deep enough into Assass to pick up CttC and HfB, if you know how to use those talents efficiently. If you're at 66, you can talent two in Opportunity, start filling out Relentless Strikes, and then DWS. From then, the difference in leveling speed made by your talent choices is hardly visible.

I thought that low weapon skill only meant a low chance to hit, and that's not reflected anywhere on your character sheet except where it says Daggers: X/Y.

And yes Theo, Monoball stated he's using fists, so that would explain the 5% less crit. Unfortunately Combat spec is mainly a thing of the past post-50 when Mut is just such a powerful tool when you can start with full energy in each fight.

Blind should give you ample time to finish one mob and start on the other.
