Well our guild is refusing to die just yet. Thanks to the efforts of certain folks, especially Parrallelism, by doing some awesome recruiting we are going back to try and finish 25-man Naxxramas tonight. So most of the weekend I convinced myself to level my alts. That’s right, more than one. :)
I have two goals for them. One, to get my Priest to 80 so I can join one of our 10-man Naxx groups and steal me a whole bunch of healing gear. The second is to get my Death Knight to 70 just so I can wear all the Cobalt tanking gear Warbull made me. Not exactly lofty, but it’s keeping me focused for the time being.
My wife was sad that her gear was poopy so she splurged some of her thousands of gold on a few BoE epics and blues. You can see her stuff here. From the advice of guildies we specced her into Mutilate for now.
I also have the intent of testing out the macro Tyrae posted over on Ferocious Inspiration and compare it to hand-weaving, at least on a target dummy. After I do that, I will make sure I post my own person results so people can draw their own conclusions.
As for me, I’ve got to run some errands and respond to some e-mails. And “Taken” was awesome by the way.
Thoughts, comments, etc. Post. :)

If there is anything Encore can do to help you guys out let me know. Always down to help out my boy Big Drotara!
Thanks Zenge. It’s been quite a roller coaster with the guild so far. Hopefully it all comes together. I am itching to do some 3D Sarth and what not.
Played with the macro, and it is actually better than the other ones I’ve seen posted elsewhere.. need to weave in Aimed or multi by hand. But it seems to be producing better dps, and is actually better on mana as well, go figure. Seems like that unlike with the massive BM macros, the SV ones need to be simple to get LNL procs handled.
And yes, hand-weaving would be better, but I rather stink at that.. :D
If only you would rolled alliance,

Any luck with the macro testing?
Good luck with your guild issues, hopefully it all works out for the best, somehow it usually tends to do so in this game (at the very least; in the end). Wish I had the patience to level up my alts too, but I just can’t get myself to get through the 20-58 part, it is so immensely boring after already doing it 4 times with my higher-level characters.
On a side note; you should really get your wife some slower, higher damage-range daggers, as those she is currently wearing (Librarian’s Paper Cutter x2) just doesn’t work very well for a mutilate build. :)
P.S.: I really appreciate your blogging, and you have given me some really nice tips/insight with my favorite class. Keep up the great work! *hi5*
I was actually told they were great for Mut since you would get more Focused Attacks and poisons procs.
Drotara’s last blog post..Hanging on by a Thread
Hmm, I suppose you might be right. I haven’t played my rogue since a few months after TBC was released, so I guess I’m not really all that updated on their talents and such. Although I am positive that mutilate scales very well with weapon damage, and since that’s your primary damage attack as that specc I’d assume your overall DPS benefits a lot from higher numbers on your mutilate, much more so than the few energy you get from your Focused Attack proccs. And the poison proccs will be plenty with 1.8 speed daggers aswell, should be no issue at all to keep poisons up so that your mutilate does its best.
Although; again, I am not very updated on rogues. :) This is simply my perspective as someone who has played the class for a couple of years pre-tbc and a small piece of the first expansion’s content.
I thought the same thing Renoncer before I noticed all the comments about different daggers on WoWHead, I’ve been a combat rogue since day 1. It probably has to do with us not projecting the value of poison procs and FA as much as it really is at the 80 level. Not to mention that FA could be interpreted as -just- melee attacks or it could include Envenom, Mutilate etc. Thus a little haze there.
Right now I’m exploring HaT spec (with swords at the moment unfortunately). Very tricky and unpredictable in 5 man pugs, so I’ll probably go back to combat until I can find some solid daggers myself.
