Extra 20% dps for rogues during first 40 seconds of fight

[Bupko]

Maybe it's a common sense or old as my granny but I hadn't found any similar topics, if they exist pls delete this one.

So main idea of this exploit is to switch specialization from muti to any other before fight starts, so what you need is muti spec with vendetta extra time glyph and any other in which you will fight with boss.

What you must do is:

1) spec in mutilation before the fight starts
2) put on boss vendetta (fight won't start)
3) change spec for ex. in combat
4) begin the fight
5) you will have vendetta debuff on boss for 34 sec+ from muti spec (+20% damage) and be in combat spec (ex.)

Have you tried it yourself? Actually, Vendetta should drop from boss as soon as you change spec. It was fixed in T11 as far as I remember.

I'm gonna test this as soon as I am able to login.

This is actually very old, I myself have been doing it since first cata progress, and it was posted here sometime during 4.2. It hasn't been fixed and still very much works.
That said it is actually pretty useless in current tier. Partly because you need a combatspecc and a subspecc, so there's not really any slot for a assa specc, and partly because the fight mechanics aren't favoring this "trick".

Morchok - You're not really dpsing until split, so the vendetta is wasted.
Zon'ozz - Usable, but not very useful since most of the damage comes later, when he has debuffs.
Yohr'saj - Huge aggro range, you will go in combat when you leave stealth to use it.
Hagara - Again, you can't get more than like 20 seconds of use before she bubbles, and most of the damage comes during feedback phase.
Ultraxion - Would be very useful if not for the bug that causes you to be unable to use heroic will if you swap specc after his RP.
Boat, Spine and Madness - None of them targetable before you enter combat.

Should you still want to use it, I suggest starting in stealth to get the overkill buff as well, then pressing this macro 8 seconds before the pull. That way you have time to get enough energy to use every gcd until your first AR. (assuming your offspecc is combat).

#showtooltip
/cast Vendetta
/usetalents [spec:1] 2; [spec:2] 1

You can use the same macro to swap back to assa after kill/wipe.

You won't really be able to take advantage of the overkill if you want to prepot as sub.

Dont think this is working anymore , tried it a second ago and it just faded. Only tried it on a mob though, not a boss.

Decided to test this with white hits only.
Did 4.7k WITH Vendetta
Did 3k WITHOUT Vendetta

I guess this means it works.

[frajdenboi]

I have to test this on my rogue to see if it still works.

[xjustinrossx]

going to try tonight

Ultrax still bugged so you cannot click the button?
Will the /click macro work?

[Lives]

Yes, the macro will work even though you have respecced and thus lost the button.
