Welcome to our Assassination Rogue DPS guide for World of Warcraft MoP 5.3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing an Assassination Rogue in a raid environment, though most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.

This guide has been reviewed and approved by Dryaan, one of the best Rogues in the world, who raids in Envy. You can watch his stream on Twitch.

Assassination Rogues perform very decently in single-target situations, and they are very well suited to fights with a lot of packed enemies.

As is the case with all Rogues, Assassination Rogues provide many utilities and crowd control abilities to your raid. They also have a variety of survival abilities that will always come in handy.
