Assassination Rogue Frequently Asked Questions — Dragonflight 10.2

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.

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.

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.

Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste. 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. Haste improves the damage our Damage over Time effects, and allows us to generate more resources.

In order to get the most damage out of the set bonus, you will want to clip your Envenom casts. This means that you want to recast Envenom before the Envenom buff runs out.

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.
