Rogues Specs in the next few patches...

[Flopdizzle]

I'm sure it's come to many rogues attention that the insta-win rogue spec 0/31/30 is getting wtfpwnt ( thank god i don't use it).

In the next patch blizzard decided they are taking Adrenaline Rush out of Preparations resets. What makes me curious is, what do all of you think will be the next arena win build?

Will it likely stay 0/31/30 or go back to Mutilate. Personally I've always been more of a mutilate loving rogue but it seems funny that blizzard is killing a spec they left unnoticed to it's capabilities for quite some time.

Feel free to discuss what your opinions are with these arena builds and how it will affect a rogue's place in arena teams in the near future.

Full Combat w/ Maces (which im going) for 2s 3s and 5s
Shadowstep will be good in 2s

and Mutilate for 3s

I would suggest giving the spec 11/26/24 a try. It is a PvE Hemo build that is very competitive with 20/41 combat swords, except you get all the perks from subtlety. The difference between this and 0/31/30 is you are trading 10%AP for 5% crit(malice) and 2% constant dmg(murder) as well as trading your AR for ruthless/relentless. In longer games its overall dps is greater than AR/Prep spec's because of your better CP/energy gen.

I went mutilate but thinkin that maybe I should go for Vigor/Premed

Well...
I haven't been at home to play 2.3.2 yet, but from my outside looks, there seem to be a few things showing to me.

1. Assassination heavy mutilate, without combat.
Example: Syrez

2. Combat Maces, as expected.

3. Hybrids
Example: Atrue

4. Shadowstep.
Example: Cinaelle

5. Hemo
Example: Nobody

Hope this gives you some insight on rogue specs in 2.3.2, personally I have both the S2 maces for some time to come, so I'll probably be sticking shadowstep / combat maces but I really would like both the S3 daggers to go back to Mutilate!
