Calling all true Rogues that have mastered the art of Mutilate..
I've been Shs for PVP (arena/BG) and Combat in PVE (BT/MH) for over a year now. Having read a number of posts about the new Lich talents i thought it wise to get my dagger skill maxed ready.
Much to my surprise i found that after about 10mins of trying Mutilate i've had a grin from ear to ear !
A bit of practice on trash mobs around Shat and i'm flying toward my first BG full of the joy of pawning that Warlock even quicker than before..... as anyone else thats spec'd Mutilate will surely confirm my efforts we're not inline with my expectation...;-(
All is well when you get the stun opener but what about then your out of stealth, gouge or shiv ?, or do you have SS going ?, i found i'd lost complete control without hemo to mash away on..
If there are any Mutilate Rogues that could give me some guidance or point me to a guide that gives some pointers it'd help reduce the humiliation i'm feeling right now as a S2/S3 rogue fumbling around in AV..
Thanks in advice..

Mutilate offers low mobility when compared to shadowstep. Also, it costs quite a bit of energy and takes more energy management to be efficient. You should take more time to think than simply mash the mutilate button.
When I was mutilate spec, I've grown quite accustomed to losing over other rogues, you wouldn't believe what an advantage hemo shadowstep has over you. Every time you get beaten instead of getting angry, think about if there was something you could have done better/differently.
Take some time to get used to the play style, don't get disappointed just yet.

yeah when I first made the switch I found myself furiously mashing mutilate...
If you are against somone with no resil in bgs this sometimes works fine, but after I settled down a bit I find I realy like the build. If it had more mobilty it would be the only rogue pvp build out there, but I def miss shadowsteping after a Mage who novas and blinks. Now I just end up using deadly throw more and making others less mobile and then the fleet footed talent shines.

I love being Mut. spec but i allways remember that in some situations it will cause you frustration from the lack of mobility, especially if you are used to Shs. Still worth it when you can blow someone up and watch them panic as you stun/stab them to death.

mutilate is just the move every rogue wanted to have. its cool, uses daggers, does a lot of damage. with some stunlock (just a CS and a KS) u can do hellish damage over opponents, especially clothies.
but muti is into a tree that (atm) doesnt offer anything good both for pve and pvp compared to combat and shs builds. shs is not a better build, just with the pvp system we have now it performs really better.
anyway, u just need to master it. there are many many muti rogues in the 2300+ bracket. we all know that playing rogue is a pure matter of personal skill.

u should think twice b4 going to the mut spec, 1st thers no point of 2 backstabs if not critical. + assasination spec or mut spec is a stun lock spec, once u loose contorl of ur oppenent u r dead, so if u aint good in stun lock, forget the Mut. now in Pve, its too much easier, the tank is holding the mobs and u ll just dps it, its quite funny when u see all these big numbers on the screen
lolwut?

This is something you will use to own them more easily in bgs....

cs-mut near the end (waiting for poison app from white damage)-ea-mut to 5 pnts-ks-cb mut-evis-tea-mut is probably the best you can do with the renataki's nerf now.

Don't expect to beat every class - i found Disc priests and mace spec warriors the two hardest match ups. The first is extremely hard to kill if they are in PvP gear, the other will destroy you extremely quickly. The expansion should make things very different although i too will miss the need for position, the locks will not have to be so thorough and you can probably start using deadly in arena for Cold Blood envenoms against pallies and warriors, rather than protecting your blind and gouge.
