Cataclysm Classic Assassination Rogue Enchants and Consumables
On this page, we list the best enchants, flasks, potions, and food you can get for your Assassination Rogue in Cataclysm Classic for PvE content.
Best Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Assassination Rogue
Cataclysm is a relatively straight forward expansion when it comes to Enchants
Gems and Consumables, but each of them is extremely important to maximizing your damage
out put and survivability in any situation; this is especially true in
Raids and Dungeons. Below is a list of the optimal consumables and enchants to help you get the
most out of your
Assassination.
Enchants
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Head | |
| Shoulders | |
| Back | |
| Chest | |
| Bracers | |
| Gloves | |
| Legs | |
| Feet | |
| Main-hand Weapon | |
| Off-hand Weapon |
Gems
Agile Shadowspirit Diamond is by far the best option for your Meta Gem,
as it gives a considerable amount of Agility and increases the amount of damage dealt
by Critical Strikes by 3%. Always make sure you have at least three Blue Gems in your gear to keep
your Meta gem active.
Our focus is maximizing as much Agility as possible, generally speaking if a socket bonus
is not worth 10 Agility it is not worth meeting it and you should place a
Delicate Queen's Garnet in the slot.
- In Red Sockets, you will use
Delicate Queen's Garnet. - In Blue Sockets,
Glinting Shadow Spinel if the socket bonus is 10 or more Agility, otherwise
Delicate Queen's Garnet. - In Yellow Sockets,
Adept Lava Coral if the socket bonus is 10 or more Agility, otherwise
Delicate Queen's Garnet.
Consumables
Food
Similar to Gems, the goal with your food buff is maximizing your Agility. you have three options that all grant the same amount of bonus Agility.
Skewered Eel
Fortune Cookie
Seafood Magnifique Feast
Flasks and Potions
As a Assassination Rogue we will use
Flask of the Winds
Potion of the Tol'vir are a nice added cooldown to allow you to deal even more damage. It is important to also
have
Mythical Healing Potions on hand for a quick burst of healing if you find yourself
in a situation where you would otherwise die.
Profession Items
While you will not have much time to cast them and any kind of damage taken
will interrupt their healing
Dense Embersilk Bandage can be the difference
between surviving or dying so it is a great mana-free way to heal yourself in an emergency.
