Here is what I'd suggest..

#showtooltip 16
/equipslot [btn:1] 16 MH Dagger
/equipslot [btn:1] 17 OH Dagger
/equipslot [btn:2] 16 MH Mace
/equipslot [btn:2] 17 OH Mace
/startattack
/cast [btn:1] Fan of Knives

With this, when you press left click (btn:1) you will eq your daggers, start attacking your target, and FoK it up. When you press right click (btn:2) you will switch back to your maces and start attacking. Use the "?" icon and this will show if you have daggs or maces equipped.

Alternatively, you can create two weapon sets in the equipment manager: one should include only your normal weapons (maces), the other one only your daggers. Then the macro would be something like this:

#showtooltip 16
/equipset [modifier:shift] <dagger set name here>; <mace set name here>
/startattack
/cast [modifier:shift] Fan of Knives

When you trigger the macro with Shift key held down, if will change to your daggers. Without the Shift it will change back to maces.

There's one tricky bit here, though - swapping weapons will trigger a GCD, so I suspect that FoK will not be cast with this macro.

Since ToTT states "your next damaging attack", what happens if your first attack gets blocked/dodged/parried?

 

Profound

Then it would start on the attack the deals damage?

Pretty self explanatory

First, read this post: Rogue: Simple Questions/Simple Answers

Second, for clarification, the effects of the human racial and the Weapon Expertise talent will be reflected on your character sheet tooltip under "expertise" but NOT under "expertise rating". No matter what spec or weapons you are using, the cap is going to be when you hit 26 expertise on the character sheet.

I had another question regarding Mutilate vs Combat in ToGC.

It's been a well known fact that the fight mechanics favor a combat spec and proper use of the combat cooldowns, however my question revolves around my gear.

First off, my main spec is the standard mutilate 51/13/7, and have been using 2 i245 and 1 i232 daggers for your typical weapon-swapping rotation. Nothing fancy here.

My combat weapons however, would end up consiting of a Calamity's Grasp (i226) and using one of the i245 daggers for my offhand.

My basic question, combat has the edge on most fights, but in my case, would these cooldowns outweigh the fact that I have better weapons/gear overall for mutilate?

I can't think of a way to work with a spreadsheet, short of using the simulation sheet and adjusting fight lengths to simulate add phases etc.

Normally, I wouldn't be too worried and I'd test things out myself over time, or just wait for a proper MH combat weapon, but this weekend I'm doing a trial ToGC10 run to attempt to get into one of the top guilds on the server, so I want to make sure I have a proper showing.

Any inputs on combat vs mutilate vs available gear would be greatly appreciated.
