    Typical "Why is my DPS low" thread.

    Armory in the Sig.

    Couple disclaimers:

    1. I can't get spreadsheets to work on my PC. I'm getting an error, I've re-installed Excel, etc, and nothing.
    2. Don't tell me what ICC25/10 Gear to get because it's an upgrade. I know what gear from there is an upgrade. I work 12-9PM server atm and I can't find a reliable guild to raid with. So assume I can't get any upgrades.

    That being said, let me know if there's anything different I can do with my CURRENT gear/gems. I only pull between 7-9k on Toravon 25m, havent done festergut yet due to previously mentioned work schedule.

    Saurfang 10m I do between 7.2-8.2k.

    Mutilate spec, I only use my Combat one in heroics/Target switch bosses (Marrowgar/Deathwhisper)

    I can't see your spec (stupid armory bug), but you have glyph of vigor.

    1) Vigor is useless in PvE.
    2) Glyph of HfB = instant 3% increased damage output.

    Other than that, without knowing the raid buffs you're getting I can't really tell if you're not doing something right or if your raid group is just terribly tuned for melee.

    You have glyph of vigor and aren't even specced into vigor...

    You need to get glyph of HfB asap, 3% damage is no joke.

    When dpsing make sure you have HfB up at all times. It is the most important thing. After that you just start out by using a 1 combo point snd, followed by a 1 combo point evenom, and then do the basic 4+ evenom from there. Besides that your spec is fine, just change that horrid glyph.

    You mean 2 snd points, and always 4 points envenom.

    You've also got a hell of a lot of ArP on your gear. I'm not sure if you just had no choice or your previous piece was really horrid, but there are better stats for Mut to have. It won't be earth-shattering or anything but generally try and look for options on gear that don't have ArP on them.

    Ok, so /faceplam [target=self]

    I totally forgot to change my glyph from Vigor to HFB when I transitioned back from a pvp to a pve mut spec. Awful.

    Also, most of the ArPen gear is due, like you said, to the previous piece being just terrible, plus I also raid Combat. Not that ArPen is GREAT for combat, but it's better for it than Mut.

    For Example I used the Hammerhead Sharkskin CLOLk previously to the Recovered Scarlet Onslaught Cape, so it was a no-brainer even as Mut.

    Thanks for the posts guys, I wouldn't have remembered to re-glyph for a long time to come if not for you, lol.

    Well, depending on your other stats, the thing is, it is probably your most important stat for combat actually.

    That's actually pretty good for being in a 10 man, nothing to worry about there. At least I think so.
