Message to User:

The burden is on you to provide evidence that your spec isn't total shit, not on us to provide that it is. As such: provide in-game testing, spreadsheet output, napkinmath, or other evidence that your spec is worth any amount of consideration, or shut up. Anything else you post on this topic unsubstantiated by such evidence is going directly to the shit heap.

Furthermore, murder is less attractive considering it doesn't work or is irrelevant in most ToC fights, and depending on gear, there's not a huge incentive to take Blood Spatter.

If you really felt like it, you could run this in the simsheet easily. But you'd be wasting 5 minutes of your time to tell you what we all already know; there's no reason to use SS if you have access to mutilate. There might be *a* borderline case where your MH Fists is ToC BiS, and your MH dagger is absolutely abysmal.

that point in mutilate was a mistake. I dont actually have that in my current spec, I was posting this on a couple hours sleep, and put it there out of habit. Regarding murder and blood splatter: there is no other place to put those points.
I thought that was fairly obvious.

the reason i opted to spend those points in turn the tables is because SS, when it crits, is a very efficient combo builder. a four point finisher for 40 energy is the best potential cp gen out of any spec besides HaT, RIP. I should also point out, that mutilate, when it does not crit, causes you to have to spend 110 energy to build towards one finisher. Worst case scenario with this spec, is 120, and that is assuming 2 non crits is a row, which as i'm sure youre aware becomes much less likely with the addition of 6% crit to combo moves, over 3% to all hits (except poisons)
