Improving Rogue DPS (Mutilate EJ Spec)

[Grondir]

I had the mutilate,mutilate only cast 1 muti, (Same with bloodthirst on my warrior), have to put mutilate,,mutilate to get it to cast in sequence

Have you considered going combat spec? It seems as though it should be easier to box with (have a combat rogue in the 70's but haven't boxed with her) . A click macro should work very well since you are really just concerned with keeping up SnD. Other than that, it's all SS and Eviscerate at 5cp. A very simple rotation that supposedly does similar dps to a mutilate spec.

Here is the macro I've been using on my rogue:

Action Button 1:
/assist party1
/follow party1
/startattack
/Click ActionButton2
/Click ActionButton3
/Click ActionButton4
/Click ActionButton5
/Click ActionButton6
/use [combat] 13
/use [combat] 14

Action Button 2:
/castsequence [target=party1] reset=30 Tricks of the Trade,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Action Button 3:
/castsequence reset=combat\target\5 Mutilate,Mutilate,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Action Button 4:
/castsequence reset=combat\5 Slice and Dice,null

Action Button 5:
/castsequence reset=combat Rupture,,,,,,,,Envenom,,,,,,,,,,

Action Button 6:
/castsequence reset=combat Hunger for Blood,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It still requires some tweaking like having Hunger for Blood to come active with 15 seconds left to account for timing variables in the macro. Envenom in Button 5 macro can be swapped out with Eviscerate if you prefer. It been doing about 2400 dps on training dummy's with my rogue in horrible level gear: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ras&cn=Vilenya

I have thought about it, but atm I'm pretty comfortable with mut and didn't want to relean/reread combat.

I just ran some tests on my rogue. I'm using the following and running around 4500 dps pretty easy.

/click button 1
/click button 2
/click button 3
 
button 1: /castsequence reset=combat Mutilate,,,Mutilate,,,slice and dice, null
button 2: /castsequence reset=combat Hunger for Blood,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
button 3: /castsequence reset=target Mutilate,Expose Armor,Mutilate,,,Mutilate,Envenom

Now I'm running Expose Armor instead of rupture. Since a run an all melee mixed team with no warrior I have my rogue on 20% armor pen duty and my druid tank applies the bleeds for Hunger for Blood. Just sub out expose armor for rupture and tune it for your liking and see how it works

Edit: I also did have to had some extra commas in there to solve the mutilate castsequence problem as you can see.

Thanks, i tweaked this to my timing and I'm pulling 2700-3k on the heroic dummy.

How many commas per second do you use?

[Svpernova09]

How many commas per second do you use?

I'm not exactly sure. According to Fur, (He helped me time my original click macros) I click slow.

[Kang]

I wonder if this line is hurting your dps:

/castsequence reset=combat\5 Slice and Dice,null

You shouldn't need to refresh this every 5 seconds (unless i'm reading the script wrong which is a possibility). Envenom will refresh the SnD for you. Get rid of the "\5" or change to "\target".

[Toned]

If he is mashing his click button that reset=5 won't mater. It's not reset after 5 seconds... it's reset after 5seconds of not being pressed. That's how all macros work when they use reset=. He's using the \combat so that he only cast it once... If he changed to \target that would gimp his dps.
