Let me first lay down a disclaimer and say that I have not extensively tested this ability out. However I have had the pleasure of being able to whip my epeen back out when it comes to farming old content. We have all been running MC and ZG as the expansion nears. Trying to get mounts or rep or bindings.
Well I have a confession to make. I was unable to defeat Hakkar. I am sure there are Combat Rogues who did it. But I could not even come close. My druid friend could do it all day long with his eyes closed. He could solo the whole damn instance if he wanted… all at ONCE! *cough*
However the playing field for farming level 60 raid instances has finally been leveled. I am glad that Blizzard has balanced this aspect of the game. Honestly I am a bit excited… I feel like I am taking the newest flavor of Viagra that puts a smile on my face… and on the single ladies around me as well.
I knocked out both Jindo and Hakkar with out even trying. Kept my HP above 90% for the most part. It was refreshing to say the least. It is so frustrating to have someone or something kill you accidentally. Its like if they lick you enough they just might drown you. Thats how I felt fighting Holy Paladins.
There are definitely some rematches I cannot wait to do. Who else has been digging recuperate. What have you soloed? Where have you used it? How did it shine? Are you the big man on campus? Do all the girly paladins in furry underthings whisper your name when you stop by the bank?

I like it a lot as mutilate because of it’s single ability as just a HOT (and as combat if I played it). It’s doubled effect (talented) as sub makes it a little more combersome as I’m now having to use it out the gate to ensure energy return. Playing sub without recuperate ticking is painful and add this to the other additional factors that go into play the spec works against it in my opinion.
Hey, ive been PvPing using this skill alot.
i specced into all three recoup talents, more health regen, also ticks energy, and rolls on honor/xp kills.
It is very very OP as far as i can tell, currently it’s ticking for 1700 with five CP, this is just about enough with 1400 resil to keep any good rogue alive in PvP because we have gone so long without any heal.
as for PvE, rolling this with deadily momentum doing dailies is just awesome, never falls off, never have to refresh paired up with a sub pvp build dailies are even more mindless. i just pull and pull.
ive found it useful in PvE also (i raid as mut spec) keeping this up during high raid damage times lessens the strain on your healers, and also keeps you alive.
being alive = more dps.
