Level 80 Mutilate Raid Dps Cycles

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

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.

Some things to note about this guide:

- 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

A Guide to Gemming and Enchanting Gear for PvE at level 70

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

The following is a basic guide to both gemming and enchanting your gear for the highest possible PvE dps. A PvP gemming guide will follow shortly. Keep in mind that all epic gems are available on Sunwell Island at the cost of 15 badges of justice, from bosses in Hyjal, Black Temple, and Sunwell Plataeu, and from your local auction house for a few hundred gold.


Meta Gem

Relentless Earthstorm Diamond

+12 agility & 3% critical strike damage. Require 2 red gems, 2 blue gems, 2 yellow gems.

(Note – having an orange gem will count as having 1 yellow gem and 1 red gem. The same is true of purple and green gems.)

This is the best choice for any PvE situation. It provides the highest damage output. The meta that provides haste suffers from a hidden cooldown of 40 seconds and is inferior to this meta in every way.


Combat spec gem selection:

Red Sockets

rare: 4 agility / 4 hit – Glinting noble topaz

epic: 5 agility / 5 hit – Glinting Pyrestone

Yellow Sockets

rare: 8 hit - Rigid Dawnstone

epic: 10 hit – Rigid Lionseye

Blue Sockets

rare: 4 agility / 6 stamina – Shifting Nightseye

epic: 5 agility / 7 stamina – Shifting Shadowsong Amethyst


Mutilate gem selection:

Red Sockets

rare: 8 agility – Delicate Living Ruby

epic: 10 agility – Delicate Crimson Spinel

Yellow Sockets

rare: 4 agility / 4 hit – Glinting noble topaz

epic: 5 agility / 5 hit – Glinting Pyrestone

Blue Sockets
