This thread is for comments about our Season of Discovery Assassination Rogue guide.

Hmm, that seems like an odd decision. The guide suggests taking 5 points into Opportunity, but then suggests running Saber Slash? Surely, the guide should either recommend two points in Improved Sinister Slash and three into something else, or it should recommend Mutilate instead?

Hey! So we were having issues with images updating in the guides, Opportunity isn't needed at all as you said as we aren't really using any abilities that benefit from it, those points are much better spent in Improved Sinister Strike as you'd mentioned/maxing out Imp Slice & Dice  / 2 points in Murder. The image should be updated soon to reflect this, but sorry for the confusion in the mean time.

Do the cooldowns with the Void Gloves, Epic LW Helm, and Epic Engineering belt all stack, or should they be use one after the other?

Thanks.

Hey! Typically it is best to layer them one after another as attack speed capping is very much a thing especially with fast weapons like Daggers, it's usually best to use whichever the strongest available buff is first as you should aim to pair it with other damage increases (Master of Subtlety, Blood Fury if you're an orc) but using them all at the same time will end up offering a lesser result.

I was wondering why you don't put up a pre-BiS guide as well.

Hey! I think a lot of it has to do with what one would consider pre-raid for SoD with the addition of the level up raids, like would a pre-raid list include Gnomer/BFD Gear as soon as that becomes lower level content or just stick to things strictly found outside of the level-up raids. It would just end up being a lot of lists, but if you would like I am happy to whip something up on sixtyupgrades for you. Were you looking for something that included Gnomer gear?
