You should use 
Kraken's Eye of Agility in one socket, and
Quick Owlseye (or the cheaper 
Quick Golden Beryl) in all other
sockets.
2. Best Enchants for Assassination Rogue
| Slot | Enchantment |
|---|---|
| Rings | |
| Main Hand | |
| Off Hand |
3. Consumables for Assassination Rogue
3.1. Best Flasks and Potions for Assassination
Flask of the Currents should be used for raids along with
Battle Potion of Agility as your potion of choice.
Since Patch 8.0.1, Healthstones no longer share a cooldown with health potions. This
means that players should always use 
Coastal Healing Potions and
Healthstones whenever available.
3.2. Best Food for Assassination
You should eat from the 
Bountiful Captain's Feast (or the
cheaper 
Galley Banquet) when possible,
and otherwise Haste food (
Swamp Fish 'n Chips or the cheaper
Ravenberry Tarts).
3.3. Augment Runes for Assassination
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.
