Use this to interrupt a spell caster when kick is on cooldown. When several players are beating on a mob it won't stun him of course, but it will often prevent the spell being cast.

this is 1 of the best skills to regain energy for a rogue, use all ur energy hit gouge run back 15-20 yards wait for the mob to get to you and unload ur energy again and repete since the time it takes for the mob to get back to you runs the cooldown u can use it again after ur energy is gone this tip has been brought to you by Skittles taste the rainbow HA j/k, but not really

I'd really suggest avoiding this ability while leveling. Sure, you can get energy regains, or get behind your enemy so you can backstab, but think of the damage loss you get while waiting for the energy. In those four seconds you could've done more damage, and leveling fast is all about killing fast and efficient.

Kommentar von InvisibleElf

This ability is mainly used to interrupt spellcasts, to escape, or to restealth. Restealthing is hard if you don't have improved gouge however.

I also find gouge very helpful as an "oh !@#$" button in the very early levels, before vanish and your major stuns. If you're getting your butt kicked by a mob without any CDs or potions available, use Gouge and immediately bandage yourself, and hope you gained enough health to kill off the mob.

It may not always work, but it's sure worth a try for the saved time from corpse running.

According to the WotLK entry for gouge, it will be losing the ability to generate a combo point, but the flip side is that they are removing the various ranks in favor of giving it damage based on attack power, approximately 1/5 of total attack power to be exact. Even in the mediocre blues my rogue has right now, that more than doubles the damage compared to the current incarnation.

My only real beef with gouge is that periodic damage breaks it. As previously stated, it is popular with mutilate rogues because it allows us to get our signature ability off when stunlocks aren't an option. When I'm grinding, I stack deadly poisons both to ensure mutilate does its full damage, and to utilize envenom as a finisher, since it usually does near double the damage of my eviscerate. So a chance tick of deadly poison sometimes foils my attempt to step behind and deliver a mutilate.

My two options to avoid this situation are either taking note of the ticks, and timing the gouge/mutilate to strike between, or to use wound/crippling poison instead. The latter option is annoying because I lose access to my favorite finisher. The former is less annoying, but seems like an unneccesary complication, especially considering the druid's cat-form disorient ability ignores periodic damage.

A talent to add a similar feature to gouge would be nice.

EDIT: Ignore everything I just complained about. Apparently mutilate is being changed in the near future to no longer require that you be behind the target. Thank you Blizzard.

Does any1 know the damage/attack power formula for Gouge?

Kommentar von hermantf

Is it true that Mage's CAN'T blink out of Gouge (Gouge incapacitates. Blink frees the caster from Stuns and Bonds)?

Kommentar von corners

That doesn't make one lick of sense.If hes incapacitated, not attacking you, how are you losing damage? If anything you are gaining energy back, without losing anything or getting hit. Lets not forget it shortens the cd on stealth and all your other cooldowns.Vanilla rogues realize the big importance of this. Gouge is literally like a time out. You can do so much, bandaid anyone?

Anyways, i just had to point out to all the new rogues that gouge is a very important tool for rogues especially in pvp.Considering it doesnt have a DR on pve stuff its perfect for leveling.\

To crit with Ambush is the way of the Rogue,
to crit with gouge is the way of true power.

...but criting with ambush will generally leave you better off.

-Buddhist proverb

Kommentar von makron

Gouge can be fully negated by successful block.

I'm surprised it hasn't been said yet but Gouge does share diminishing returns with Polymorph (Mage spell).

Kommentar von 236763

Although Gouge itself can crit, if you have Cold Blood up, it will NOT guarantee your next gouge to crit. Gouge will go off like normal and you will still have the Cold Blood aura up, waiting for your next skill use.

Not sure if this is a bug, or if Gouge doesn't count as an "offensive ability" for some reason; just discovered it by accident while testing a macro.

Well just a little tip for farming/leveling rogues: Gouge does not work on mechanical class mobs. You deal the damage, but the Incapacitated debuff is not applied. Just have that in mind if you level up in Westfall for example.

Kommentar von Lester1986

A change fort gouge glyph in one of Cataclysm beta builds:

Gouge - Your Gouge ability no longer requires that the target be facing you.

Sounds kinda interesting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This skill you use to do Back Stab on the target. Use it and then run around the target and then do it. You can allso use it to run away or other skills that i havent lerned yet.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Well, I never use gouge as a way of landing a backstab on a target. Insted I use it sciense it's an easy CB and also to regain my energy...
If you're combat specced, then you will also do as I do, because we have improved sinisterstrike

Kommentar von Thottbot

Get imp. gouge.

You use it, you're out of combat 5.5 seconds.

That's enough time to restealth without using vanish up.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Land one of these on your opponent, and it will give you a chance to bandage up. If you get imp. gouge, it lasts even longer, more healing. Thats how i usually use it, but I have also used it to get a BS in.

Kommentar von Thottbot

da fool is right,with a combat spec and 5.5 sec gouge, you can easily gouge and run back (strafe) to ranged position and be nearly full energy by the time they get to you.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Nice way to beat on an elite is to continually gouge them, run off and use your ranged weapon. If they don't parry/block/dodge that is. If you backpeddle while your Shoot is on cooldown by the time it gets to you Gouge will be ready to use again. If you do it right you'll hit the guy 4 or 5 times for every one time he hits you. Not to mention you're bulding combo points the whole time.

Gouge is also a lifesaver for giving you time to bandage or just plain run away.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I really dont get wat gouge is. its just the same as sap.

Kommentar von Thottbot

anyone tell me why 50% of the time the mob comes out of gouge straight away before I have time to get behind forr a BS strike ?

Kommentar von Thottbot

/cast gouge
/cast heavy wool bandage

heal and a combo point :D
