There have been a few hotfixes and buffs since the recording of this video. Mainly a shadow buff to Saber Slash that makes it more powerful than Mutilate, as well as a nerf to Focused Attacks. New video here: ruclips.net/video/xO5VqLXAg8o/видео.html
I was just reading about this. Do you happen to have any videos or advice on someone who leveled a Rogue as an alt and is looking for "decent" gear (understanding you may not be in MC since it isn't your primary character)? My main is a geared Paladin that I raid with but I love playing a Rogue for fun :)
@@imocd I don't have anything talking about gear. But here is a Wowhead article talking about Best BiS for both raid and pre-raid for Rogues: www.wowhead.com/classic/guide/season-of-discovery/classes/rogue/dps-bis-gear-pve
Pretty straightforward guide and most of it is accurate. However, HAT is 100% the correct rune for SSL in a raid setting. The proper way to play it is to race to 3 stacks of SSL then pool energy while casually using SS. This will allow you to almost spam envenom as 1 SSL/SS can generate 3 CP from SF and HAT and if you get a Ruthlessness proc, you are sitting at 4 after ~ 1 second/global. HAT procs again, allowing you to keep envenom up majority of the fight.
Mutilate is no longer out dpsing saber slash, people discovered the buff that they applied to saber slash bleed damage, it is a dps increase to about 300dps with same gear
Don't know why you say Backstab is boring? In Dungeon it is more useful than the other because the mops life not so long. I do more dps with Backstab as Multilate in Dungeon.
There's a big difference in useful and boring. .. and dungeons don't matter. This is a phase 4 Pve focus video where backstab is the most boring and the least dps play style for a rogue
I don't think Backstab is boring. But I haven't been able to get it up to the numbers that Mutilate does in Raids (but I'm also not the best geared). I do use it for dungeons and PVP.
YES everyone keep going mutilate and saberslash pls. backstabb wont be meta. but i group with this 1 rogue on wild growth he was out pumping other rogues as back stab he always say he going to make backstabb meta.. Lol!

Thanks for the feedback!
Honor among thieves for saber slash.
Crimson tempest most of the time instead of blunderbuss for both specs.
Thanks for the info. I have a new video with the updated changes! ruclips.net/video/xO5VqLXAg8o/видео.html
Ya forgot one consumable, Dragonbreath Chili. Make sure you eat Grilled Squid first, then eat the chili 🎉
Focused attacks rune is not longer bis after the -1 energy nerf. Better to go with Combat potency. Great vid!
Yea, this got changed after the audio was recorded. I'll add a pinned comment. Thanks!
Mutilate is no longer out dpsing saber slash, people discovered the buff that they applied to saber slash bleed damage, it is a dps increase to about 300dps with same gear
Wondering if this is a buff that was applied after my recording. I did some recent sims as well that were probably pre-buff.
I just found the information about Saber Slash. New video here: ruclips.net/video/xO5VqLXAg8o/видео.html
In every guide they say u can use juju OR winterfall for +ap! Not true. You can put on both of them.
thx for explaining the sim soo good
Is not saber slash better now? Simonizedshow put a video that it would outperform mutilate with latest uppdates
Yea. I just saw that information. New video here: ruclips.net/video/xO5VqLXAg8o/видео.html

Bro don't know about stacking +defense for huge AP numbers for 10k Ambush crits and 8k backstabs with 80% crit
I don't think Backstab is boring. But I haven't been able to get it up to the numbers that Mutilate does in Raids (but I'm also not the best geared). I do use it for dungeons and PVP.
when should i use the other 2 new poisons. the one with armor debuff for expample
Great guide. Thanks for going so in depth
Glad you enjoyed it!
i wished focused attack was still 3 energy.....
Yea, they nerfed it after I recorded everything. Thanks for pointing that out. Need to add a pinned comment about the hotfix changes.
hypothetically if you put poison on mainhand, can you still benefit from wildstrikes or windfury totem?
No, one will overwrite the other because they act as weapon buffs.
YES everyone keep going mutilate and saberslash pls. backstabb wont be meta. but i group with this 1 rogue on wild growth he was out pumping other rogues as back stab he always say he going to make backstabb meta.. Lol!
It will be interesting to see Backstab take off. It does some pretty good damage. I use it in Dungeons and PVP, but haven't tried it in Raid.
I wish Combat did better DPS. I have so much fun running swords.
I'm hoping that in later phases swords will get better.
@@Displace99 like it's not BAD ya know? But it's also super fun to play but Mut is the meta
amazing guide
Glad you enjoyed it
