Experimenting with mutilate builds

Post by cerin616

so basically i have been thinking about a new kind of mutilate spec.

It has 2 points left to spend, i would like some ideas as to where to put them.

My basic idea is to stack crit chance to take advantage of energy returns, and the SnD refill. It will allow you to rotate between just rupture and eviscerate (or envenom) and not force you to waste CPs on refilling SnD. I have 2 points i dont know what to put into still, and i would like some feed back on what you think. Frequently using shiv is a must because of the crit chance increase from a poisoned opponent.

The basics of your "basic idea" are exactly what Mutilate is all about. High critical strike chance is necessary for success & refreshing Slice and Dice through Envenom is the backbone of a rotation. Using Shiv (never mind "frequently") should not be required at all since if certain talents are taken, the high chance to apply (you are trying to reach the hit cap & poison soft cap of 315, right?) poisons should come naturally in the time it takes to land Garrote or within a few auto-attacks. Shiv is a thing of the past for Mutilate builds in PVE.

Perhaps you should do some more research & continue reading about Mutilate and how it is played. I suggest starting in the stickies, and go from there. It's really pretty cool, and I think you'll catch on quick once led in the proper direction.

Here's a link to a dedicated raiding build for Mutilate -> 51/13/7

Well, if it is raiding mutilate, whats a point in having 5points in Cut to the chase? Won't 4 work as well as 5?

There's that 4/5 times that the Envenom would not refresh your SnD.

100% > 80% unless I miss my guess.

I'm wondering if you got the idea from the Hunters going 4/5 on that frenzy talent or whatever, but it doesn't quite work out so well for smooth Rogue rotations...those times it doesn't proc, you're stuck building a CP to SnD as soon as possible, and you're losing DPS.

I have just wondered, if 1% for additional crit won't be better
