I was thinking that an assassination build using fist weapons could get the benefit of both worlds in that you can use the sweet fist weapons but focus on damage through Envicerate and rupture (and keeping SnD up) . The only problem is that this spec could not use mutilate, so it would be necessary to sub in sinister strike, and the glyph of sinister strike would give extra points periodically to use.

I would appreicate some feedback on this idea Zaltu.

Thanks!

It would be necessary to use sinister strike rather than mutilate, but do you think it would be viable?

Secondly, yeah your guild getting gear and upping their crit will give you faster CP generation… but you cap out at 5 CPs in 5 seconds. The only way to increase damage from there is through your own gear.

Also, we had another rogue spec HAT and I went on a heroic with him. I out DPS’d him by more than 500. Why? Simple, my gear is better.

If HAT didn’t scale at all with your gear, then any newb in level 70 epics could come in and pull down the same DPS as a HAT rogue epic’d out in level 80 gear.

I am definately going to test this out see if thats the case, just because I’d like to know. Essentially, what your saying is as you crit hit, your going to gain a combo pnt for yourself? It should be easy to confirm, I suppose, just hit up a targeting dummy, although it reading through the log will be vital, because there are so many other talents/glyphs that give you an extra combo pnt, already.

I suppose by your reading of the tooltip, it could include yourself, just typicaly blizzard says something like “When you or anyone in your group”.

As far as the tooltip goes, think of it this way “..anyone in your group…” You’re in your group aren’t you?

“When anyone in your group critically hits with a damage or healing spell or ability, you have a 100% chance to gain a combo point on your current target. This effect cannot occur more than once every second.”

Although I think I am going back to swords tonight, untill I can get some faster daggers, I am using x2 Knife of Incisions, for my mutilate build.

Last night in 25man naxx, we had a random BOP drop on Trash which was a really nice sword, speed 2.50, but white damage in the 550+, that paired with Hatestrike as an off hand should make some pretty nice swords for now.

Unless someone can tell me what the hell is wrong with my enchants, crit/hit w/e and why I can’t seem to get more dps out of mutilate… At least with combat, I can do SOME aoe…
