Talent Builds
Dragonflight Raid Talent Builds for Assassination Rogue
Single Target and Cleave
The build above is your general single target talent tree with strong cooldowns and even better damage once the boss hits 35% HP.
- CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMjZmhZmxyMAAAAAAMbwyMAAAAAA022MzwDMzYMzMLz2MjxAzMzMzYmNbjZAAAABgAAA
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!
Sporadic Adds
This build simply switches Internal Bleeding for
Caustic Spatter.
Since Caustic Spatter spreads the damage of
Kingsbane, this gives us great
cleave on a 1-minute cooldown, whenever we have a Kingsbane window. It is
generally not advised to talent more AoE or cleave talents. This build will shine
in encounters where adds are spawning on timers that work well with our
cooldowns.
- CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMjZmhZmxyMAAAAAAMbwyMAAAAAA022MzwDMzYMzMLz2MjxAzMzMzYmNLjZAAAABgAAA
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!
Sustained AoE
This build is the same version as our M+ build, which sacrifices ~15% of its single-target DPS potential for the ability to deal with sustained AoE. You will rarely if ever use this, as our full AoE toolkit takes too long to ramp up and deal proper damage, while costing too much single-target DPS.
- CMQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYMjZmxMWmBAAAAAgZbwyMAAAAAA022MzwDMzgZmZZWGMGzYmZmZmZsttMmBAAAEACAA
Be sure to make use of the 'Copy Export String' button to import the build directly into your game!
Gnarlroot
Talents/Build
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.
Tips
There are no rogue-specific tips or tricks for this boss.
For more information, please refer to our Gnarlroot guide.
Igira the Cruel
Talents/Build
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 spears, if these are placed close enough to the boss.
Tips
Use Feint or
Cloak of Shadows to mitigate the initial damage from
Blistering Spear.
For more information, please refer to our Igira guide.
Volcoross
Talents/Build
Pure single-target with Internal Bleeding.
Tips
The direction of the knockback effect Flood of the Firelands is based
on your position towards the center of the soak circle. Positioning yourself
accordingly allows you to control the knockback direction. You can also
use
Shadowstep on another player to immediately cancel the knockback effect.
This is a fairly straightforward boss with no additional spec-specific tips.
For more information, please refer to our Volcoross guide.
Council of Dreams
Talents/Build
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
whenever two of the bosses are tanked close to each other.
Tips
There seems to be very little spec-specific interactions for this fight.
All bosses have to be killed at the same time, but melee will only be able
to cleave 2 of them. Make sure to spread your DoTs, and set up your Kingsbane
window to hit both targets via Caustic Spatter.
Make sure to prepare for having to soak Barreling Charge.
Feint
works wonders here. You can keep attacking while the charge knocks you up, as long
as you are close enough to another boss.
For more information, please refer to our Council of Dreams guide.
Larodar, Keeper of the Flame
Talents/Build
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 treants and roots.
Tips
Try to only soak when you have any of your cooldowns up, and leave the orbs that grant 20% crit for other players while you have no cooldowns available.
Make sure to have Feint ready for
Raging Inferno. Even with
the protection of the Seed, it still deals very high amounts of damage.
You can Blind one of the adds in the last Phase of the encounter, so
it doesn't walk too close to the raid.
For more information, please refer to our Larodar guide.
Nymue, Weaver of the Cycle
Talents/Build
This is a pure single-target encounter.
Tips
Crossing the lines of the Verdant Matrix can be done by using
Shadowstep on a friendly target on the other side.
You can also Shadowstep over
Impending Loom beams; just
make sure you do not land on a
Verdant Matrix line. There are two
spots at the edge of the bosses hitbox, where you can walk up on the roots
to dodge the beams without taking a Verdant Matrix dot.
For more information, please refer to our Nymue guide.
Smolderon
Talents/Build
Another pure single-target encounter.
Tips
Remember that both Crimson Vial and Health Potions can help
trigger the Cauterizing Wound debuff on demand, if the absorb shield is
already low enough.
During the intermission, you gain a 100% damage increase after soaking all
five orbs of Devour Essence. You are best served holding your
Deathmark on pull, and use it in the first and third intermission instead.
For more information, please refer to our Smolderon guide.
Tindral Sageswift, Seer of the Flame
Talents/Build
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.
Tips
Make sure to have your cooldowns available for the intermission phases.
You may end up wasting a single use of Deathmark or Kingsbane, but the transition
from one platform to another will grant you a damage buff via Dream Essence,
and our cooldowns will be very valuable in order to break the
Supernova
absorb shield.
You can soak multiple seeds at once in Phase 2 and 3, if you use Cloak of Shadows.
You CANNOT do this on Mythic difficulty.
For more information, please refer to our Tindral guide.
Fyrakk the Blazing
Talents/Build
You may 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. If the P2 add-DPS is not a concern, go with
Internal Bleeding
instead.
Tips
You can have very high uptime, even during Dream Rend, thanks to
Feint
and
Cloak of Shadows.
You can use Shadowstep or a Warlock Gateway to cancel the knockback
effect as the boss starts the first intermission.
You can soak multiple orbs in the intermission with Cloak of Shadows.
Use Blind and
Kidney Shot to disrupt the small adds in Phase
2. You can even talent into
Airborne Irritant for this to have an AoE
interrupt.
For more information, please refer to our Fyrakk guide.
