raiding with Mutilate

Basically, the trick is this:

  • Keep Hunger for Blood up at all times, even when not in combat. Hotkey!
  • Keep up SnD as usual.
  • Keep your drums and trinkets up as usual.
  • Keep your DoTs up - Deadly Poison and Garotte/Rupture. Garotte is still the best opener if threat is a problem.
  • Watch your threat. Feint, Vanish and if all else fails, Evasion, are there if you need them.
  • Combos should be spent on SnD, Rupture, and then something that does damage. I've not decided yet if Envenom or Eviscerate are the best way to go - probably Envenom at the end of the fight, Evis + Cold Blood otherwise if you have a threat buffer. Remember that both of these will refresh SnD if you have 5/5 Cut to the Chase (which you should in a 51 point Mutilate build).
  • Of course, keep an eye out for opportunities to use Kick.
  • On trash, keep one eye on your squishies and intervene with a blind/gouge. You can quickly build 3 combos for a Kidney Shot with a Cold Blood/Mutilate (assuming you have 5/5 Seal Fate) - with the added advantage of a huge crit that will definitely attract their attention! It might be worth Shivving them first to get the 50% damage bonus from Mutilate.

There you go, easy!
