'''Gouge''' is a useful [[Rogue]] ability that causes damage, adds a combo point and incapacitates the target for a short period of time. Gouge costs 45 [[Energy]] and can first be acquired at level 6. Once a successful Gouge has been made, any damage will negate its incapacitation effect. Note that using Gouge will turn off auto attacks.

=== Minor Raiding Guilds ===
+
== Notes ==
  +
*Gouge's short stun is the main reason for using the ability, allowing one to get into position for utilizing [[Backstab]], performing a quick bandage, or getting a few seconds to distance yourself and get out of combat.
−
Minor raiding guilds are either new to raiding 10 man content or focus only on 10 man content as a guild.
 
  +
*Gouge's effect breaks upon receiving damage; this means that it does not work well with [[Garrote]] or [[Rupture]], or in group combat unless well-coordinated. However, in all situations Gouge is useful as an interrupt. If [[Kick]] is on cooldown, Gouge can be used just for the purpose of interrupting a spellcast.
  +
*Without [[Improved Gouge]] using this to *only* recover energy is not viable, since the effect lasts 4 seconds and the ability costs 45 energy. Rogues regenerate 10 energy per second, so you end up -5 energy less than you started with. With [[Improved Gouge]] the effect will last for 5.5 seconds, which means that you regenerate 55 energy, ending up with a net gain of 10 more energy. having the combat talent [[vitality]] will increase the energy regained, upto a maximum of 50 energy (without improved gouge) and 68.75 energy with improve gouge, or even more if the target is only melee, the player can step a distance away meaning in the time it takes to get close enough to attack, the rogue will have more energy.
   
  +
== Talent improvement ==
−
{| style="background:#222222; font-size:12px;" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" width="100%"

The only talent that specifically improves Gouge is [[Improved Gouge]]. Some other Rogue talents do improve Gouge, however.

*[[Backstab]] is a great skill for dealing burst damage, but you must be behind the [[Mob]] to use it. Gouge first, then move behind the [[mob]] to enable you to [[Backstab]]. You've got two combo points off the bat! (And if you are Seal Fate/Vigor spec and it crits, you'll have three combo points!)

Social Guilds are laid back players who doesn't raid as a guild often and focus on just being a community to one another.
 
  +
*Gouge gives you an opportunity to apply a bandage, recover energy, or plan a quick escape. Also note that during those 4-5.5 seconds one can recover up to 40-60 energy, so it can be seen as a free combo point anyway.
  +
*Facing multiple enemies can be quite difficult. Simply gouge one. This will give you time to finish one of them. This will greatly reduce the amount of incoming damage.
  +
*In PvP, [[Improved Gouge]] gives you a good chance (barring diminishing returns) to leave combat and re-enter stealth without using vanish, and gives you more time to recover energy.
  +
*In end-game raiding, Gouge has proven useful in interrupting caster enemies if they are immune to stunning with [[Cheap Shot]] or silencing with [[Kick]]. It may be expensive energy wise, but it will at least buy time and prevent extra damage to your fellow raid members.

"Every being has vulnerable spots; Make it your business to know them all."
—The Assassin's Creed, Chapter 2
[1]

Gouge is a useful Rogue ability that causes damage, adds a combo point and incapacitates the target for a short period of time. Gouge costs 45 Energy and can first be acquired at level 6. Once a successful Gouge has been made, any damage will negate its incapacitation effect. Note that using Gouge will turn off auto attacks.

Rank table

Rank Level Cost
1 6 1s

Damage

Damage caused by Gouge is calculated as follows:

Damage = (Attack Power * 0.21) + 1

Example

A rogue with Gouge having 1000 attack power will inflict:

(1000 * 0.21) + 1 = 211 damage.

Notes

  • Gouge's short stun is the main reason for using the ability, allowing one to get into position for utilizing Ability backstab [Backstab], performing a quick bandage, or getting a few seconds to distance yourself and get out of combat.
  • Gouge's effect breaks upon receiving damage; this means that it does not work well with Ability rogue garrote [Garrote] or Ability rogue rupture [Rupture], or in group combat unless well-coordinated. However, in all situations Gouge is useful as an interrupt. If Ability kick [Kick] is on cooldown, Gouge can be used just for the purpose of interrupting a spellcast.
  • Without Ability gouge [Improved Gouge] using this to *only* recover energy is not viable, since the effect lasts 4 seconds and the ability costs 45 energy. Rogues regenerate 10 energy per second, so you end up -5 energy less than you started with. With Ability gouge [Improved Gouge] the effect will last for 5.5 seconds, which means that you regenerate 55 energy, ending up with a net gain of 10 more energy. having the combat talent Ability warrior revenge [Vitality] will increase the energy regained, upto a maximum of 50 energy (without improved gouge) and 68.75 energy with improve gouge, or even more if the target is only melee, the player can step a distance away meaning in the time it takes to get close enough to attack, the rogue will have more energy.

Talent improvement

The only talent that specifically improves Gouge is Ability gouge [Improved Gouge]. Some other Rogue talents do improve Gouge, however.

Tips and tactics

  • Ability backstab [Backstab] is a great skill for dealing burst damage, but you must be behind the Mob to use it. Gouge first, then move behind the mob to enable you to Ability backstab [Backstab]. You've got two combo points off the bat! (And if you are Seal Fate/Vigor spec and it crits, you'll have three combo points!)
  • Gouge gives you an opportunity to apply a bandage, recover energy, or plan a quick escape. Also note that during those 4-5.5 seconds one can recover up to 40-60 energy, so it can be seen as a free combo point anyway.
  • Facing multiple enemies can be quite difficult. Simply gouge one. This will give you time to finish one of them. This will greatly reduce the amount of incoming damage.
  • In PvP, Ability gouge [Improved Gouge] gives you a good chance (barring diminishing returns) to leave combat and re-enter stealth without using vanish, and gives you more time to recover energy.
  • In end-game raiding, Gouge has proven useful in interrupting caster enemies if they are immune to stunning with Ability cheapshot [Cheap Shot] or silencing with Ability kick [Kick]. It may be expensive energy wise, but it will at least buy time and prevent extra damage to your fellow raid members.
