Assassination Rogue DPS Vault of the Incarnates Raid Guide — Season 4

Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Vault of the Incarnates. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Vault of the Incarnates guides.

On this page, you will find tips and tricks specifically tailored toward Assassination Rogues and its toolkit based on the recommended talent build. It does not include general tips for mechanics, which are included in the full raid guide instead, whereas this page assumes that you are already familiar with most of the major mechanics of each encounter.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Assassination Rogue and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

You will want to play with Caustic Spatter on this boss. It is only about a 2% DPS loss on single-target, and will net you a lot of extra damage on the adds.

You can use Cloak of Shadows to run through the fiery walls spawned by the Primal Flame.

Evasion works to avoid getting hit by the fixating Primal Flame adds.

For more information, please refer to our Eranog guide.

Pure single-target with Internal Bleeding.

You should use Cloak of Shadows before the tank destroys multiple pillars, as it allows you to take no damage from the explosions and also avoid receiving the subsequent Seismic Assault debuff.

For more information, please refer to our Terros guide.

Cleave with with Caustic Spatter.

As this fight is a permanent 4-target cleave fight, with bosses having to die within a few seconds of each other, you should prioritize reapplying your Garrote on the three highest health targets.

Cloak of Shadows should be used to remove the Conductive Mark and Primal Blizzard debuffs.

For more information, please refer to our The Primal Council guide.

If the adds are being tanked close enough for Caustic Spatter to hit them, play the cleave build.

You can use Vanish to clear the stacks of Sticky Webbing.

You can use Shadowstep to get back onto the platform if you get knocked or dragged off of it. With 2 charges, this allows you to not care at all about the Sticky Webbing mechanic, and you can just full focus on DPSing the boss in all phases.

For more information, please refer to our Sennarth guide.

If you are assigned to the platforms to deal with the adds, switching to Caustic Spatter build is recommended. However, you should try to convince your raid that your damage will be very low regardless, so it is better to stick with the single-target build and just nuke the boss.

Cloak of Shadows can be used to avoid getting knocked back by the dying Volatile Infuser adds or to remove the Conductive Mark debuff. You can also use Shadowstep to counter-act the knockback from the Volatile Infusers.

Caustic Spatter will allow you to get damage on both the boss and the adds.

You may want to delay your 2-minute cooldowns until the big add has spawned, to get full value of Caustic Spatter on the add during your cooldowns.

If there are overlapping Thunder Strike soaks, you can take both of these with Feint or Cloak of Shadows.

For more information, please refer to our Kurog Grimtotem guide.

This fight is about constantly controlling spawning adds and dealing with them. As such, we recommend an AoE/cleave-focused build if you are assigned to dealing with those. Otherwise, stick with the suggested single-target build and kill the boss while others deal with the adds.

Cloak of Shadows can be used to reset the Diurna's Gaze debuff, or remove/prevent Frozen Shroud.

For more information, please refer to our Broodkeeper Diurna guide.

The best build on Raszageth depends on what you are struggling with the most. You will get some decent value out of Caustic Spatter during the intermissions, but if those are already not an issue at all, boss damage will be better with Internal Bleeding instead.

Shadowstep can be used to quickly avoid taking damage from Tempest Wing.

While Cloak of Shadows is active, you are immune to both the damage and the knockback of all her abilities that knock you back.

Airborne Irritant can be very useful for the Sparks.
