On this page, we go over several of the most frequently asked questions regarding Assassination Rogue in World of Warcraft — Battle for Azeroth Dragonflight 10.0.7. This will be updated as more common repeated questions surface over the course of the expansion.
Is Haste Good for Assassination Rogue?
In Dragonflight, your bleeds scale with Haste. This lets you
generate more Energy through 
Venomous Wounds. However, we generate
a lot of Energy already, making it our third-best stat, after Critical Strike
and Mastery.
Is There a Haste Cap for Assassination Rogue?
There is currently no breakpoint that is required for Assassination, nor is there a realistic value that causes Haste to become useless on a single target.
What Stats do I Want for Raid as an Assassination Rogue?
Critical Strike and Mastery. Mastery improves our bleed and poison damage the
best, while Critical Strike drastically improves our ability to generate
additional Combo Points thanks to 
Seal Fate.
What Stats do I Want for Mythic+ as an Assassination Rogue?
Critical Strike and Mastery. Mastery improves our cleave and AoE damage the
best, while Critical Strike drastically improves our ability to generate
additional Combo Points thanks to Seal Fate.
What are the best Primordial Stone Gems for Assassination Rogue?
For raid and single-target, you will want to play 
Freezing Ice Stone,
Prophetic Twilight Stone and 
Desirous Blood Stone. For Mythic+/AoE, you
will want to play Prophetic Twilight Stone, Desirous Blood Stone and
Storm Infused Stone. Tuning is still ongoing, and this might change at
any point.
Which Race is the Best for Assassination Rogue?
The DPS differences between the races are fairly minimal. The best races for DPS on Horde are Tauren, Orc, and Blood Elf. For Alliance, Void Elf, and Dark Iron Dwarves are the best.
