Fresh 80 Raid Rogue Talent Build
January 29, 2009 by Visin · 10 Comments
I am starting Heroic’s now and it needs a good raid build for my Rogue, what did I choose? You are about to find out. In World of Warcraft WotLK, there was a lack of great swords and for this, I have recently went to daggers. Daggers are faster than swords of course so it will proc your poisons faster and it which will increase DPS caused from higher poison damage. Below I will show you the first dagger raid build that I started with when I hit level 80 less than a week ago.
Mutilate Dagger Raid Build [51/13/7]
I chose this specific Mutilate build because it brought to me everything I needed in a raid specific build which is the following 3 elements…
1. Energy Regeneration - Focused Attacks allows me to regain 2 energy every time I land a critical hit which may not sound like a lot but it does add up when you 4 critical hits in a row easily. With Relentless Strikes you have a 20% chance with each Combo Point to gain 25 energy back on Finishing Moves.
2. Combo Point Stacking - With Seal Fate I have a 100% chance to add a combo point on every critical strike which is GREAT when it comes down to raids and all of the buffs you will have making this able to build up a 5 point Combo Point stack in matter of a few seconds! Also, with Ruthlessness you have a 60% chance with each Finishing Move to gain a Combo Point even adding to the value of this build.
3. High Damage Output - This build has all sorts of different ways to make sure you have high end DPS for the raid. You will be attacking with both daggers at once with this build using Mutilate and stacking poisons with insane speeds!
Assassination Tree:
5/5 Malice
3/3 Ruthlessness
2/2 Blood Splatter
3/3 Puncturing Wounds
5/5 Lethality
3/3 Vile Poisons
5/5 Improved Poisons
1/1 Cold Blood
5/5 Seal Fate
2/2 Murder
1/1 Overkill
3/3 Find Weakness
3/3 Focused Attacks
1/1 Mutilate
3/3 Turn the Tables
5/5 Cut to the Chase
1/1 Hunger for Blood
Combat Tree:
5/5 Dual Wield Specialization
5/5 Precision
3/5 Close Quarters
Subtlety Tree:
5/5 Relentless Strikes
2/2 Opportunity
As you could probably see by the way this talent build works is that you are going to be relying on your poisons to achieve maximum DPS. Try to keep up Rupture at all times so that you will always have that ticking on your bosses. Also it will be benifical on bosses to get a 5 point Slice and Dice up and then every so often refresh the duration of Slice and Dice with either Envenom or Eviscerate, this way you can have faster speeds during the WHOLE fight which will also improve your DPS!
I hope you enjoyed this little build share but if you are like me being a first time Dagger user you will learn it is not so easy jumping into things especially Naxxaramas being ill prepared with your Raid Rogue Talent Build, that would be insane right? Good luck and have fun with this build and if you have any questions just ask away!
