4/5 PvP Rogue question/info thread

[Fuzzyboy]

I just did a AV with my lvl60 rogues, 5 of them. They are wearing heribloom daggers and besides that only a chest, pants and head. Rest of the gear slots are still empty.
I still managed to take a LOT of people down. There was no skill involved really, just using defensive skills and hit my Iwinbutton mutilate mostly. Still have to work on blinds and so.

I find it pretty hard to make decend specs for my team. Most talents involve combo point improvement and I don`t think that we really need them anyway. We might just kill to fast for them. Could you link your armory, I would like to check out your rogues.

Besides that, wouldn`t a shadowstep spec be nice as well?

I've been giving shadowstep spec some thought too. Seems like that would alleviate some of the difficulties of getting in position once we're out of stealth. The "swirling melee" thing could possibly be used for backstab-spam also, although I admit I havent actually tried that, but I will. Still levelling and rogues are almost 72 now

mutilate doesn't require you to be behind. Backstab isn't used anymore really.

True, but I was talking about a shadowstep spec, where I guess you wouldn't have mutilate?

Would be fun maybe to use shadowstep in arena by targetting different players and appair behind different players. Damage them all, activate sprint and start focussing your dps.

I'm no expert on subtlety specs, but I think Hemo spec is somewhat strong(don't have the spec details, just heard from another PVPer). I was just assuming any deep Sub spec was probably hemo spec, in which case you spam hemo.

EditL did some digging and yes there is a ShS spec that uses a few backstabs in the rotation.

The thing I'm noticing so far with my rogues... is that the more complicated and gimmicky / cooldown related my dmg is, the less is actually works. Combat was more cooldown / dmg gimmick based and it was horrible. I'll give Hemo an honest try but I imagine it will be a lot like combat.
