Assassination Rogue 6.2

Recommended Posts

So I am coming back after a long break since Data, but am I missing S&D in the opening rotation? Is it no longer a necessary buff? If so, why?

I'm not a numbers guy by any stretch so mabey someone can figure this out for me. With envenom being our single highest attack, it makes sense to me that I should pool cp up to 10 (via anticipation) before using SR macro. That would give 6-8 envenoms over 16 seconds before re applying rupture.

This is what you should do. I realise that the guide was not explicitly saying that, so I made a few changes.

New player here, why is Ambush not mentioned at all in this guide?

 

It does more damage than mutilate as an opener, and is a closer while costing just 5 more energy.

I am wondering why the skill Ambush is not even mentioned in the Assination guide.

 

It does quite a bit more damage than mutilate, generates the same number of combo points, and can be used as a closer while only costing 5 more energy.

 

I understand using mutilate once you are out of stealth. 

 

You get the same benefit from Shadow Focus, so why use mutilate as your opener as implied by the suggested rotation?

 

### Updated 4-14-2014 ###

 

I read some other posts here that explained in depth why you should open with mutilate and not ambush, so no need to reply now.

What is the best way to maximize the SR macro? I realize you want to pool cp and energy but I've heard mixed reviews on if you want to rupture or how much you souks worry about clipping envenom while it's up?

Thanks

wow_icon_inv_throwingknife_06.jpgDeadly Throw will mostly be useful in PvP, against healers and casters, but it can be used to still interrupt if you messed up a wow_icon_ability_kick.jpgKick.

 

explanation was tweaked, advice not :3

I think it is best to ask this in the Rogue section of the forums.

Probably a stupid question, i see that mastery is my secondary stat, and i have mostly mastery on my gear anyway. I wonder I can't see Mastery: Potent Poisons.

anywhere on my rogue, not talents, not in the skills window. Where is this one?

wow_icon_trade_brewpoison.jpg Mastery: Potent Poisons

 

I couldn't find this one anywhere in my skill book or talents on my rogue, is this recently removed or?  It's not anywhere as a passive either.

By the way, you should add the ability_creature_poison_06.jpgMaster Poisoner to the list and not the Mastery: Potent Poisons maybe? Minior detail i know. I could'nt understand what that spell was, as it was not in my spellbook at all, but after searching a little i found the passive mentioned above which made all the more sense.

Newbie rogue here ^^

sorry if this has been asked. the opening sequence confuses me a little it says to ideally cast as many envenoms as possible before shadow drops. so do i cast alot of 1point envenoms or do i do as im currently doing and cast mutilate to 5cp then envenom? what about rupture? do i not use rupture at all while reflection is up?

 

Thank you in advance for the help.

Hello!

 

As a rookie in this section, I wanted to know exactly why 2x the same enchant on weapon is better than 1 enchant each.

 

For example you say: 

 

 

Then why not 1x Bleeding and 1x Shattred H. as an Assassination rogue?

 

Thanks guys!

hi i think its literally that the 500 mastery affects ur poisons directly so you gain alot of damage from envenom and poison applications weras the proc enchant just does set damage so its not as good. but it isnt bad if its all you can afford.

Thanks for your answer

 

I was wondering if it was viable to have 1H proc mastery buff and 1H haste buff.

It means direct dmg and more possibilities to make procs and so on to avoid internal CD to make procs wasted.

(A bit like 1H DK's in wotlk period)

So Shadow Reflection, according to sites, has 3% more dmg than Venom Rush. I however feel that I do more DPS when I use Venom rush. And also I like to go with Glyph of Energy instead of utility because it lets me do way more mutilates and Envenom. Especially if you have the set bonus. And I have on my rogue 690 ilvl so the Shadow Reflection might do more when you have higher gear but at lower ilvls I really suggest you guys try out Venom Rush especially if there are more targets!

If it is possible i would like to see the stat priority weights don't know if you have that or not

Quick question, the stat priority only has additional information for T17, does that mean with T18 it should be followed as normal?

Because Mutilate gives a 30% to let you use Dispatch for free. Mutilate + 30% of Dispatch damage (this gives the average damage you'll get from blindside procs over the course of the raid. Woo math) is more damage than Ambush.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look.
