with a quick regard to aep, where does ap go for combat?
at the moment i've been using the 1.1 that strength uses, however i'm sure this is wrong since it makes ap gems better than agi gems (which im sure it shouldn't be) and it doesn't scale with kings so i'm sure it should be less than strength's 1.1, then again, the 4% from savage combat, and poison scaling... i'm a tad confused.

oh right, must have missed that part. that'll teach me for only reading EJ in a morning when i've only just woken up.

Care to change it to the correct numbers 26 (214), 16 (132), 13 (107) as stated in this post?

Re: Mutilate poison selection

Instant on the faster weapon, obviously, in a 25-man raid environment. There will always be some sort of poison ability up on the mob, whether it be from your combat rogue buddy or a Hunter.

Here's my question, though: The standard mutilate build linked in the original post doesn't include Deadly Brew for obvious reasons (there's better places to put those talent points, and most raidmobs are immune to crippling).

In 5-mans though, where energy, cycles, and debuffs are a bit more hairy, I was wondering whether Wounding might be a better choice for one of the weapon-buffs, just to have a better chance to have some poison up on the target?

Which hand would you throw it on, in that situation?

Or a Paladin with Heart of the Crusader.

In my 10 man raid group for my guild, I am the only rogue, along with 1 hunter. To help with threat I generally put up Trick of the Trade almost every cooldown, though some of the time it is not needed, however, it does boost our DK tank's dps.

I was wondering how well TotT could be put into that above mentioned mut rotation, not necessarily every cooldown since it probably won't be needed.

TotT also helps the raid by not allowing anyone else with insane dps pass the tank in burn situations while dropping you even lower in threat.

What do you guys prefer for weapon enchants? Mongoose or something else?

What is everyone's opinions on 15/51/5 and 7/51/13 (either combat swords or combat sword/fists)? A few people have told me that 7/51/13 does more damage than 15/51/5 but does the armor pen and increased rupture damage and ignore armor outweigh ruthlessness and lethality?

Vulajin himself has posted that his spreadsheet is doing something wacky with ArP and until he figures out exactly what to go ahead and assume that Aldriana sheet is correct in that 15/51/5 is the higher dps spec.

Where did that happen? I thought he was only referring to ArP proc trinkets on his spreadsheet, in which they were being overestimated.

The current update on that is that the sheet is not doing anything screwing with ArP, neither ArP on gear nor procs/trinkets. I thoroughly checked the entire ArP model and everything is in order.

I have not recently checked whether it indicates 15/51/5 or 7/51/13 as being superior.
