Shadow dance took a hit on PTR with the nerf of backstab glyph (extend rupture duration, what hell?). I understand Blizzard is trying to tone down burst damage, but rogue burst damage is already 2nd tier, and our survivability is the worst among all DPS classes. Nerfing the burst damage of a spec that even Neilyo-kun could not master? It is certainly a step in the wrong direction if they are trying to make shadow dance more popular. Mutilate/prep gained tremendous poison damage on top of a solid glyph for mutilate, while the backstab glyph is now completely useless about wow gold.

The one spec I did have fun playing on PTR, is 18/51/2 killing spree. I took 3/3 vile poison over 3/5 relentless, rest of it is the standard 15/51/5 spec. Combat already has excellent energy generation and the extra poison damage is huge for killing sprees, when the poison proc rate sits at 93% with 2.6 sinister strikes about wow gold. Fist/dagger is probably the best choice thanks to prey on the weak. With a mere 143 DPS MH fist wound poison, a 156 DPS 1.8 OH dagger crippling poison, I was doing 10000+ killing sprees. What if you swap in a 2.6 weapon with wound poison during the killing spree to get cheap WoW Gold?

Killing spree is not normalized, so we are talking about: And during the 2.5 second window, you can expect at least two rounds of white attacks plus an extra sinister strike. Factor in nearly 40% crit and prey on the weak, it is easily 20K+ damage before mitigation, and 10000+ even on plates in resilience gear. Throw in an eviscerate powered by improved eviscerate + aggression, and we have: Cheap Shot (60 energy) -> White Attack -> Sinister Strike (40 energy) -> Killing Spree -> Sinister Strike (40 energy) During Killing Spree -> White Attack -> Eviscerate (35 Energy)

Not dead? I got AR/BF/SND right after about wow gold. Of course this would only work against stationary targets to get cheap WoW Gold, but still a lot of fun to simply overpower people with raw damage, something other classes have been doing to us for a while now.
