Why does Mutilate have a lower base cost, 30% crit talent, and 20% dmg talent vs Saber slash costing 45 energy needing to talent to reduce it to Mutilate energy cost and the only other talent for 6% dmg? This not even considering the double combo points from mutilate. Also the red headed step child got a buff that did almost nothing as well. Then the gearing options in gnomer drastically buff Dagger builds +3 Dagger skill? What happened in classic swords and daggers were so close why are we funneling people now?
I bet they did it to free up loot for melee hunters and warriors, and one of those specs just got smoked, so

The 30% crit talent affects saber slash. You’re also not giving up much for the 2 points into improved sinister strike. Losing 2% dodge or 1 second gouge. In pvp I take the 2 in imp SS for quick draw anyways.
Why complain? Mutilate is insanely fun. Just play it.
Because they are forcing daggers
Need to free more swords for hunter melee, otherwise there would be more BIS overlap
Everyone would want CTS =P so instead we’ll still be Perd/CHT

The 30% crit does not effect Saber Slash it does not effect anything but backstab and mutilate by extension.

Season of It’s All Hunter Weapons
I don’t know what you’re talking about:
Increases the critical strike damage bonus of your Sinister Strike, Gouge, Backstab, Ghostly Strike, and Hemorrhage abilities by 30%.
Also, you’re missing the whole point of mutilate only working on 2.00 or less speed weapons. Meanwhile you can get swords closer to 3.00 meaning saber slash hits hard. You’re making disingenuous arguments to fit your point while ignoring the positives of saber slash. That’s not to say mutilate isn’t better right now, it definitely is, but that’s partly due to item availability. I just don’t like that you’re basically lying in your post

no it doesn’t affect it? The crit damage one does, not the crit chance.
Cause thats not how I would like to play the game? If I wanted to play FoTM I wouldnt be playing a rogue.
I am not talking about lethality it is a bad talent anyway I am refering to imp Backstab that give 30% crit chance. Please check the talent tree and comeback.

It’s not a bad talent at all. There are plenty of people taking it for PvE. It’ll also be more in use when we get more talent points. Right now it’s hard to go into two trees deep at all
Generally Lethality is a very minimal dps increase and not the reason you go into the assassination tree it is more incidental then anything.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, this is the most popular (and best in sims) build right now for PvE:
You’re wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong!
Your “facts” - are just a sad song.
Posting boldly, but missing the beat,
Perhap it’s time to admit defeat!
Your arguments crumble, your logic’s askew,
Can’t hide behind your screen, the truth breaks through!
So wave your white flag, it’s time to move on,
You’re wrong, wrong, wrong, and we’re singing this song!
notice it is 3/5 lethality do you know why? It’s because it is not a very good talent you take it to get further in the tree hence it is incidental.

They take it over 2 points in murder or 3 points in improved eviscerate. Meaning it has value. Yes, there are some talents in the whole game that are better than it. Does it need to be literally the best talent in existence? What are you even getting at? It is literally taken over other talents
The talent you are refering to wasn’t even the core of my argument it was Improved back stab 30% crit chance. But the fact remains you take the poison talents over lethality’s last 2 point it is not a very good talent.
Backed into a corner, the rogue tries to subtly switch up her whole initial argument.
