Of course, mutilate damage will now do 20% increased damage against poisoned targets, down from 50%. My previous attempt was deleted by admin; probably Ming wants to post first about this. Getting a bit bored, can not really understand why that happened. So there should be something more into blog post to make it viable to get cheap power leveling. Sure, why not. Here is some well thought out opinion.

I started playing WOTLK a bit late, leveled my warrior to 80 in early december just to find out i cant play it in arena and have fun (never found fury appealing). One thing in particular that i was very unhappy with is that mutialte rogue could bring my 22k hp with 600 res to 20 percent in a lucky stunlock about power leveling. I was pretty spectical about blizzard game designers in terms of class balance, but this latests patch seems to be a better one. Mutilate nerf is good, and it is also good to see they are compensating it with a pve buff.I have not got myself into other class changes yet, but my hunter friend recently exploded on vent with comments on removing consumable projectiles to get cheap power leveling.

The best offense in the game comes with a heavy price as mutilate rogues have neither adrenaline rush nor preparation. In arena PVP, because thistle tea is not allowed, full assassination rogues take a significant hit in their burst damage potential about power leveling. With neither improved sprint nor preparation, mutilate rogues require positioning and are extremely vulnerable to snares and roots especially in group PVP. The 60 energy renataki trinket is a must if you are going to get anywhere with this build in arena PVP. Deadly poison and envenom allow the combat rogue to play the plate killer role even better. Notice the daze effect can not be removed by abolish poison, poison cleansing totem or stone form. Shaman will not be able to kite you when you have blade twisting.
