This is an update to the level 70 mutilate raid guide. Although I believe this to be currently accurate, the information provided is subject to change.
- Using cut to the chase to refresh SnD with less than 2 global cooldowns remaining on SnD can be dangerous if your expertise and hit rating are lacking because your finisher can be dodged. If you get a lot of dodges and don’t have the best gear, consider doing your envenom at about 3 seconds left, so that if it gets dodged you’ll have enough time to preform another. If you are unable to refresh SnD with your finisher, simply use the combo points on SnD and continue your cycle.
- Envenom vs Eviscerate is still something that isn’t defnite. I personally feel envenom is superior but if you are adamant about using eviscerate, the guide still applies in the same way. Simply sub out envenom for eviscerate. As well, if you are forced to refresh slice and dice and don’t have many deadly stacks, you should be eviscerating. This should occur rarely.
The basic principles of raiding as mutilate
- Keep up hunger for blood, and renew it as late as possible
- Keep up slice and dice, renew it late with a finisher
To help narrow the gap in between release of the expansion and the start of the first arena season at level 80 (Dec. 16th), I thought I would post an arena review as well as a short Rogue/Mage video (Me/Rocklee) filmed entirely from his perspective. The video was made in about 2 hours of filming. Watching the movie again I noticed it showcases the new Arena’s very nicely. The entire video was shot in patch 3.0 (just prior to WoTLK) so it’s level 70 with some 80 abilities.
THE RING OF VALOR (Orgrimmar)
This is by far my new favorite arena. Incorporating many new aspects to the environment and making it very complex. The first thing you will notice as you finish loading is that you begin the match below in an elevator shaft. (more…)
