Cold Blood + ShStep (25/2/44) by Shaileen

Will be nice in the first weeks, when people will go down after two 5cp-CB-Evis. With HaT you have a cheaper Sealfate, but you can also drop it for getting 5/5 DW. With ShS you will have a huge advantage at the mobility over Mutilate.

Could be useful for 5vs5 matches.

This spec is actually underestimated imo. CB to evis is powerful and i rather miss hemo shs spec since everyone is mutiprep nowadays =(.

i like the idea behind this spec, and that hes trying to mix assasinations + sub and go for big bursts of yellow damage. maybe you could try 31 / 0 / 40... drop shadowstep to get overkill.

http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/rogue/talents.html?tal=30502310530210050010000000000000000000000000000000000005320032030302120350105000000#none

i know droping shadowstep loses 20% damage off your next move, and helps you to get near your oponent, but having played mutilate you really dont need it. with fleet footed + camoflag you stealth at 97% or 100% not sure, and run at 115% unstealthed.

edits to my spec include droping 1 in sinister calling for deadly brew, or swapping cheat death for 5/5 in deadliness and 3/3 in deception. the idea behind my spec was to get a fast burst for 6 seconds, because in that time your energy usually runs out and you have to vanish anyway, overkill just lets you make the most of those 6 seconds, along with master of subutlety. maybe youll say its crap, but i find if effective and it does more damage than mutilate.

replying to shadowpoke, i don't thing camoflag and fleet footed work together,at the end of the fleet footed explaintion it says,"does not stack with other movement speed increasing effects".

This build is awesome and a lot of fun. Lots of mobility and survavility. It has most of the best talents from a mutilate build with all the awesomeness from deep sub.

I rather have blood spatter than 2/5 dual weild spec because rupture improved twice (blood spatter+serrated blades) really really hurts.

From sub I would drop master of subtlety to get cheat death because this is a game breaker talent for any bracket. If you stack enough resilience you can easly hit the 90% cap. Even if you get to 80% you can pop cloak of shadows (glyphed) for total immunity for 3 seconds. The dmg reduction is 4 times your crit dmg reduction from resilience so I believe I have 88% dmg reduction with 823 resilience. This gives me enough time to wtfCoSVanishShS somewhere else.

HaT is a seal fate on steroids and it's even cheaper. Playing 2v2 with a ret pally I got opened by a rogue then my partner stuned and unloaded everything on him and by the time my kidney was off I had 5 CPs on the rogue just in time for the final CB/evis. Hillarious.

I'm currently running this build: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#fheboeMobZZe0fdhhzdVzAco

But going to try the same with innitiative: http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#fheboeMobZZe0fdhhzdVzAco

Of course it doesnt have the burst as mutilate but I can crit for 3k on clothies using a slow sword (usually 4k crit with mut using the same dps weapons) and get 2 CPs for only 35 energy.

I recommended it for 2s and 5s since 3s needs the burst from mut, imo.
