Cataclyms BGs as a rogue.

Everyone plays their toon differently. As a rogue I want to kill something as quickly as I can and GTFO. With every single player in cata having over 100,000hp. It feels alot slower. Sure the abilities hit harder but with MS being 10%? and many more abilities to do deal with killing someone now takes another 20 seconds longer. ( or so. )

I have tried playing my PVE combat spec in BG. I can cleave and pop a killing spree but after that racking up combo points with Sinister Strike just doesn't cut it. 1 Combo Point... 2 Combo Points..... 3 Combo Points...... You get my drift?

I tryed my PVE mutilate which differs little from pvp mute. I was able to stick on targets with deadly brew and spam envenoms into people, average sustained damage. But alas my gear is lacking with full 346 I have to play properly with no mistakes to succeed.

I then tryed the cream de le cream. Subtely. I tryed a build without Hemo that built combo points with Backstab. It felt very powerful and lots of mobility with shadowstep and 1min Cloak of Shadows. I don't like the positional requirements of backstab but alas thats how it goes.

If I pop on someone in a BG even if its a big brawl of like 4 on 4 or 10 v 10 etc. I always seem to get tunneled and trying to spin around doing a dance putting backstabs into someone is frustrating.

I might re-spec the old school Fist Dagger or Slow sword MH or slow Mace if one exists.

I'll try to post updates on how im going :)
