Mutilate Rogues - Tips RequestedFollow

I only tried mut around the mid 70s, but went back to combat because it's more of my thing, but I'll try to help out with some points.

Mutilate shines more with single target. Combat is more multi-target with things like Blade Flurry, Killing Spree, etc.

Just continue to target off the tank. As for the energy regen, if I remember correctly, Mut doesn't have the type of regen combat has (as combat has Vitality and Adrenaline Rush). It's more of you having to pay attention to where you're at energy wise, and timing attacks that way.

Like I said, this is just from what I remember. I could be completely off in my answer though.

Isn't there a "preparation" talent in the sub tree that allows the cd of vanish or something come out of cd? Would respeccing to pick that up be "viable?"

Like I said, I don't know a lot about the other two trees =P. Also, I know if you stay back far enough you can just get out of combat while the next pull is going on, to restealth. Then again, you'll be lagging behind and miss out on dpsing quite often.

Mutilate is terrible on multi target fights, you just have to find the biggest mob and stay on it, or spam FoK. No real easy way to regen energy other than finishers and critting(as well as Vanish).

Teddy has the idea of it.

There is 1 viable Mutilate spec in PvE, one and only one. Check my guide if ya need it ;p

That is how I tank in a heroic. Most tanks are on the same program.

I like tanks that pull like that too. I honestly don't worry about my DPS too much in 5 mans, FoK spam works fine and than rape bosses with your rotation works excellent. And if people complain about your DPS, just point at the boss meters.

I love to show Boss fights on my recount when someone brags about how they are outdpsing everyone on trash pulls.

Eh, for 5mans, trash dps is kinda important. Not as a measure of skill, but as a means to a fast run. For most people at this point in wolk, 5mans are get-in-get-out as fast as possible kind of proposition I would think.

As for mut, stealth->garrote->HfB->1pt SnD->FOK (3+ mobs). If you're running with semi-decent dps, your 1pt SnD has a good chance to last the fight. If you have a CP to spare at the end of the fight, envenom to refresh SnD.

Even with a fast-pulling tank, you should be able to get OOC if you hang back a bit. That said, if you spend too much time doing that, your dmg will suffer greatly b/c the fight will be half over by the time you get there...so it's questionable whether that's even worth it.

As I think everyone here has made clear, Mut dmg scales much better the longer a fight is, so if you're running 5mans with good dps and the fights are going fast, you will have a hard time keeping up. It's just not designed for fast fights. Don't worry, if you're ever feeling down about your deeps, find yourself a nice 25M saurfang fight and enjoy your time way up at the top of the charts.
