Quote:People? Or Wodin? Even he said mutilate is better when the target is poisoned. And rogues just got a new skill that garentees a poison.
Even if it's substantially worse solo or 5 man, it may get better if two rogues are working togeather to keep a target poisoned in a 25 man instance.
Totems are your missing 5% compared to a Fire mage. I checked it today (don't have Excel at home).
A lot depends on whether raid mobs are vulnerable to poison. They weren't in Molten Core and most other level 60 raid content. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see that mobs generally are effected by it in BC 25 man raids
If they are affected by it then 3 or 4 Rogues is pretty much a guaranteed permanent poison effect. Sum poison damage with extra Mutilate damage and the game's top dpsers just got a lot stronger. Remember there are 40 debuff slots, remember too that some poison effects are very nice (eg Mind-numbing).
It seems early for misery when no one is yet raiding the level 70 content ;)
