Combat Rogue Rotation Basics, Cataclysm 4.3

My first video: Raykey's guide to Combat Rogue Rotation Basics. I saw a couple of other videos regarding the 4.2 rotation, but to me they lacked a lot of basic information that may lead to confusion down the road. Putting up a block of text into a video is hardly going to help that many people. So I created this video with the intent of laying down the foundation for those that do not know the Combat Rogue Rotation. If you enjoy it, please leave comments! Thanks for watching.

excellent rotation, and oddly I've never though about starting with RS. Definitely going to be incorporating that into my rotation, thanks very much.

@Zumilas It's contested that using it in that manner is a DPS loss, but I haven't personally seen any significant changes.

[jessiahcouch]

@Zumilas For names sake, I would try it both ways and see which works better for you, i.e. using it as the first cp or last cp

Sorry friend, but you are very wrong about some things.

Rupture is only viable if Mangle or a similar debuff is on the target. Without the increased bleeds buff it's rather horrible. Even with a bleed debuff is active, it still doesn't generate enough damage per bit of energy spent as Eviscerate.

Also, always sinister strike to four combo points. So that you can revealing strike the fifth combo point up. If you go straight from 3-5 combo points, GREAT that's an increase.

@Neipsy7 Please read the other comments in which these issues were addressed. :)

im only watching this cause assassination need daggers, and i'd rather mog swords, fist weps, axes, maces.

[jessiahcouch]

@megafactory2000 Uh, thanks?

[advengr]

@Neipsy7 Rupture > then Eviscerate in combat please learn ur facts. but u will loose dps if u try to refresh it before it completely runs out

[GOTHICAMESSAIH]

What was that addon called? sorry you speak a little too fast for me to understand.

[Westenful]

I've heart you shouldn't use rupture, if there is no feral druid, correct?

[Zumilas]

@jessiahcouch thanks for the tip, I have incorporated it into my rotation. There was a slight dps increase. I don't understand why people are saying it's a dps loss to start with RS. if you RS to start and proc on your 4th combo point your getting an enhanced 5 combo point finisher compared to procing on your 4th combo point when you had planned to RS on the 5th and losing the 35% RS buff. Essentially what starting with RS does is eliminating the possibilty of procing your " RS combo point".

Music please!!

@WOWTNC It's best for combat to use a slow main hand (2.6 speed) and a fast off hand (1.4 speed) the only exception to this are the daggers from the legendary chain quest.

[WOWTNC]

Should you use 2 daggers or 2 one hands or 1 one hand and dagger or what
