are auto attacks in wow supposed to do alot of dmg

By default, most vanilla or non-special ability related melee attacks will start in auto-attack mode.

Auto-attacks function separately to the use of specific abilities, and do not interrupt or affect their use.

Auto-attack automatically uses the players current target, and lasts until cancelled.

If the target moves out of range of auto-attack, auto-attacks will cease.

Once the target is once more in range, or a new target is selected, auto-attacks will automatically resume.

Auto-attack will be suspended by crowd control effects such as stuns and fears, but will resume once the effect has ended.

They can also proc certain passive abilities, and interact with all abilities that affect melee attacks.

I havent tested this with an enh shammy in the raid ( Stormstrike ) but i hope to do it soon and find out whether it benefits from it. 20 more dmg will be.

Many people are turned off by the damage shown for this skill because they do not realize this skills strength.

No, this is not just a weak eviscerate with more requirements.this skill does NATURE damage, which means it is unaffected by armor, which reduces the armor of pretty much all of a rogues other attacks.

Does anyone know a little bit more info about this With an arbitrary AP (say 1000) and 5 applications, the formula spits out 870 dmg.

Being that the dmg is Nature, but the ability is Physical, does it crit often like Pysical spells Or does it have low crit like Magic spells.

Did it also appear to you that the animation isnt showing up sometimes I still have to figure out why, but sometimes the animation is missing (too big mobs maybe).

Ive been meaning to try this out for a while now, but I must admit its rather unweildly appearance has put me off (Screw having to get 5 poison procs stacked AND 5 CPs on a mob before you can do a finisher) It might be useful against bearswarriors in PvP but that would mean dropping Crippling poison in exchange, or going with one of each and just praying to get enuff procs of each off of one weapon.

Cant see it being of much use in a raid situation either (would it consume other peoples deadly poisons).

The damage over time from my deadly poisons an Eviscerate is more then an envenom.

Cloak of Shadows is our only skill worth mentioning, since the change of Anesthetic poison.

The thing about envenom is getting the right amount of charges for the right amount of combo points.

You might not be able to get those 5 charges within 12 seconds.

Wounding gives you anti-healer capabilities and damage, and crippling is for everything else.

Envenom spec: This is what I would use if I were trying to max out poison damage, but I havent tried it yet.

Any criticisms on this Please note that this is pretty much a pure PvE spec.

Ive been told something, rather consistently, by raiding rogues that Envenom beats the hell out of Eviscerate, even in pvp.

With Vile Poisons, 1200 AP: Its doing 1080 nature damage.

With rank two, and 1400 AP, youll be critting for 2.6k damage.

Unmigitated. Same situation, coldbooded eviscerate, dame mobs.

Raiding you have 2x deadly up anyways, so what better way to use up deadly poison charges on a dying mob than 2.6k damage ).

Something I have noticed that I would like to warn to other rogues.

If you have 5cp, it will only do damage based on the number of poison doses on the target but will still consume all combo points.

However, it will only consume doses equivalent to the number of combo points, that is to say if you had 2cp, but 5 doses, you would do 2 doses worth of Envenom damage, and retain 3 doses on the target.

I accidentally posted here instead of as a reply, and now I have to say something so WoWHead will give me my computer back.

Im a sword combat rogue, and im using Envenom as finishing move, i got 55 vile poisons, and with the sword spec, every extra attack is another poison apply, so i dont have problems with that.My usual envenom crits are 3500-3600, and my highest were 4500-4600 which is insane.

I havent tested this with an enh shammy in the raid ( Stormstrike ) but i hope to do it soon and find out whether it benefits from it.
