Made a respec mistake :(

Eish I see you edited your post. Don't get me started on Totem Twisting. I despise the concept.
The DPS increase is so minimal it doesn't make up for the loss in DPS for the Enhancement Shaman if he's pulling his weight.
Thankfully Blizzard have said it's a bug so you can expect to see it removed at some point which is fine by me coz it means I won't have to restrain myself from telling the Rogue CL to get stuffed.

One thing I've noticed in all instances.

I'm the only rogue that uses Blind :eek:
Is that good or bad ?

Outside of 5 man content you really shouldn't ever need to use Blind. Even in 5 man it's more of a "OMFG We're Screwed CC CC CC CC NOOOOW"
 
Rogues who use Sap and Blind and Cheapshot and Kick to full effect = <3. Some of the best assets you can have in heroics and raids.

Rogues who afk while spamming slice and dice = go diaf plz.

*edit* yeah, totem twisting ftl, means the shamans gcd is permanently on cooldown. According to threads i've read, it increases the other 4 ppl in the party's dps by about 8. That's not 8%, just a flat 8, according to the reads. Hardly worth it.
With SR coming down to 15 secs from 30 it also means shams will go oom faster if they try it. Personally i believe that mana should be used for shocks and the occasional heal where needed.

Did Heroic Botanica on Sunday I think it was the Daily

Anyway, just before the Demon boss you have that 5 add pulls (Can't be sap'd) They use the run up and down tactic for the Mobs slowing them with frost. Anyway, the leader says I must Cheapshot one to delay him a little.

I then said I can Blind another meaning there is a delay on 2 of them.... He said ok, but I could hear on vent he wasn't to convinced. So all goes with out a glitch. Second pull he said ok triangle is Blind :D

But as noted before I use Blind at any given time I feel it's needed. I mean if a tank is tanking 2 or 3 adds at once, Blinding one for 10 seconds saves 10 seconds worth of damage :o

Just a nasty habit i suppose

edit: I learned this by doing PvP.
Nothing works better than a Blind to give you time to bandage :D
 
What's the cooldown on Blind?

It's quite funny, i used to think rogues were worthless cc*, but i suppose that was back in the day when you had to be Sub for Improved Sap to be any good for the job. Nowadays I place them second only to mages. And with the change to the Sap subtype incoming, rogues are likely going to be the #1 choice.

p.s. with the change to the Sap subtype incoming, rogues are going to be masters of cc.

Not 100% sure, but i think CD is 3 minutes either that or 2 minutes
I think the CD is less if you spec another talent tree, but also not sure
 
Erk I remember Imp Sap on my original Rogue. I refused to spend the 8 points to get it as it was a real DPS gimp.

Leveling my new Rogue with Imp Sap is just pure win. I'm doubling my loot by sapping and Pick Pocketing everything i can :P

@Pitbull thats exactly it man. I know I used to fall prey to forgetting about Blind, especially before they removed the reagent requirement, but it's really great for some situations.
Unfortunately as I said before, you won't be seeing much use for it in 25man content.
 
lol Pitbull

ever heard of minmaxing lol ?

lol ?

lol !
 
We have a moonkin that raid with us in SSC and The Eye. He does quite decent damage for our gear level and give me as Beastmaster hunter some nice competition for dps. Moonkin avaraging about 950dps in full raids.
Name Cotson on Shadowsong Eu if you wanted to check his gear out.
The real problem with hybrids is itemization! There is really a need for more armour sets...
 
Hybrids indeed need the right gear. And it also doesn't help if you have tons of AP/ Spell damage but you have no +hit. You need to balance out that and how much you need crit. For ferals. You need 142 Hit and the more crit the beter. Because crits = more combo points and also omen of clarity procs. Since Ferals have probs with energy regen etc. For moonkins. Working out a good rotation for when to use insect swarm, Fearie Fire, Starfire, moonfire and wrath. Have a good spell rotation, have enough hit on your gear and know what you are doing.
