Assassination Rogue Rotation
Welcome to our Rotation page for Assassination Rogues. Here you will find out more about your rotational priorities in both single-target and multi-target situations which you will apply in both Raiding and Mythic+ scenarios.
Easy Mode
If you are just starting you might want to get more comfortable with your Assassination Rogue by using a more simplified yet still effective build and rotation. You can find out more about it in our Easy Mode section.
Mythic+ Rotation
For information about Mythic+ as an Assassination Rogue and the rotation you need to use in this game mode, please refer to our Mythic+ page.
PvP
The content on this page is purely PvE-related. If you are looking for PvP Rotation Tips, please visit our PvP page below.
Single Target Ability Priority List for Assassination Rogue
If you are using one of our recommended builds from our Talents page, simply select it in this list for the rotation to include all rotational adjustments for the selected build.
Talent Builds:
-
Dragon-Tempered Blades Raid build
-
Indiscriminate Carnage Mythic+ build
Individual Talent choices:
- Apply
Slice and Dice with 1+ Combo Points, and maintain it by casting
Envenom with 5+ Combo Points. - Maintain
Garrote, casted from 
Stealth when possible. - Maintain
Rupture with 5+ Combo Points. - Activate
Deathmark when available. - Activate
Vanish on cooldown. Sync this ability with
Deathmark
by applying empowered Garrote before using Deathmark. - Use
Shiv when close to overcapping charges. - Cast Envenom with 5-6 Combo Points.
- Cast
Ambush to generate Combo Points whenever it is usable. - Cast
Mutilate to generate Combo Points.
Multiple Target Ability Priority List for Assassination Rogue
- Apply Slice and Dice with 1+ Combo Points, and maintain it by casting
Envenom with 5+ Combo Points.
- Maintain
Crimson Tempest with 5+ Combo Points. - Maintain Garrote on multiple targets, cast from Stealth
when possible.
- Maintain Rupture with 5+ Combo Points, if not sustaining Energy.
- Activate Deathmark when available on a priority target.
- Activate Vanish on cooldown. Sync this ability with
Deathmark
by applying empowered Garrote before using Deathmark.
- Use Shiv on a priority target when close to overcapping charges.
- Cast Envenom on a priority target with 5-6 Combo Points.
- Cast
Fan of Knives to generate Combo Points. - Cast Crimson Tempest as a filler beyond 6 targets.
- Cast Envenom as a filler under 6 targets.
Important Notes
- You will only ever cast Slice and Dice once per fight. You will
naturally, maintain it whenever you cast Envenom as a regular part of your
rotation thanks to
Cut to the Chase. - Optimal usage of finishers is at 4-5 Combo Points with
Vigor,
or 5-6 Combo Points with 
Deeper Stratagem. - If Rupture is about to fall off, it can be reapplied with any
number of Combo Points to maintain uptime. It is best to apply it with 5+
Combo Points, however, for maximum Energy efficiency and rotational
fluidity.
- You should never have more than 80 Energy when activating your
Deathmark on a target. Try to activate Deathmark on a target that
will live for the entire duration of the debuff.
- YOu will always want to sync Deathmark and Vanish on
single-target.
- When talented into Indiscriminate Carnage, you will want to make
sure to use an Improved Garrote empowered Garrote to spread it to all
targets, and using a maximum Combo Point Rupture as well.
- Always hold and chain both charges of Shiv with
Kingsbane
when talented into it, to ensure the entire Kingsbane receives the bonus damage.
Vault of the Incarnated Tier Set
Acquiring the new tier-set bonuses has no bearing on your rotational gameplay. They are simply passive bonuses that improve your DPS.
Poisons
Your Lethal Poison should always be 
Deadly Poison. If you
talented into 
Amplifying Poison it will be your go-to choice instead.
You have three choices for your non-lethal poison, 
Crippling Poison,
Atrophic Poison, and 
Numbing Poison. For raiding, you will
want to use Atrophic Poison
unless your raid wants you to slow a specific group of targets. For
Mythic+ you will want to use the poison that best suits your tank's needs.
Crippling Poison allows your tank to more easily kite enemies,
whereas Numbing Poison slows their attack speed instead, while Atrophic Poison
reduces the damage the group takes from enemy attacks and spells.
Notable Mechanics for Assassination Rogue
Improved Garrote Snapshotting
The 8% damage buff from 
Nightstalker and the 50% damage buff
from 
Improved Garrote are removed when you overwrite the bleed you
empowered
by re-applying an unempowered bleed. Therefore it is best to let the bleed run
its full duration before refreshing it.
It is best to use your 
Vanish before 
Deathmark to
maximize your Improved Garrote bonus.
Pandemic
When you refresh 
Rupture, Garrote, 
Crimson Tempest,
Envenom or 
Slice and Dice before they expire, the remaining
duration is added to the newly applied effect, up to 30% of the newly applied
base duration. This mechanic is called "Pandemic".
Example — You can safely refresh a 5-Combo Point Rupture when it
has 7.2 seconds or less remaining because its base duration is 24 seconds.
Deeper Stratagem allows for 6 Combo Point Ruptures, which last 28
seconds. 6-Combo Point Ruptures can be refreshed safely when they have 8.4
seconds or less remaining.
Safe Pandemic refresh timing is based on the newly applied base duration and not the original length of the effect. Therefore, a 2 Combo Point Rupture can benefit from full Pandemic if it is refreshed by a 4-5 Combo Point Rupture. We explain how to take advantage of this in the opening sequence later in the guide.
If you are talented into 
Exsanguinate, you should refresh your
bleed effects ( Rupture and Garrote) before Exsanguinate
casts, for maximum efficacy.
Academic Information for Assassination Rogue
The Interaction Between Combo Points and Energy
As an Assassination Rogue, many of your abilities require Energy to be
utilized. Your Energy bar has a maximum capacity of 120 Energy (170 Energy
when you have 
Vigor talented). Your baseline rate of Energy
regeneration is 10 Energy per second, however, it is increased by:
- current Haste rating (Haste and Haste-enhancing buffs);
- the
Venomous Wounds talent; - the
Venom Rush talent; - the Dashing Scoundrel talent;
- the
Thistle Tea active ability talent; - the passive regeneration increase of Vigor.
Higher Energy regeneration allows for higher uptimes on
Envenom, which awards much higher DPS over an extended
encounter.
It is very important to avoid resource overflow. Capping Energy and overcapping Combo Points is an egregious error and special care should be taken to avoid wasting precious resources. "Pooling" higher levels of Energy, however, can be very beneficial (provided you do not cap), as it allows you to store resources in anticipation of a window of high burst. This can help reduce the patchiness of your debuff/buff uptimes which will result in more consistent and smoother damage output.
Combo Point generation is increased by 
Seal Fate, which causes
your critical hits with melee Combo generators to add Combo Points to
your target per critical hit. This means 
Mutilate can generate
up to 4 Combo Points if the main hand and the off-hand both critically strike.
Fan of Knives can generate the maximum number of Combo Points with a
single cast if it critically strikes 4 or more targets.
You should never cast a Combo Point generator at or above 4 Combo Points (5 with
Deeper Stratagem talented),
unless it is Garrote or 
Poisoned Knife (as neither of
these benefits from Seal Fate). Do not use Poisoned Knife to reach
maximum
Combo Points, unless you are out of range of the boss and in danger of hitting
the Energy cap.
Pooling Energy and Combo Points
It can be very beneficial to "pool" your Energy and Combo Points, which involves auto-attacking while your Energy regenerates. The advantage this provides is variable, meaning that pooling does not always result in damage gained. Situations where pooling Energy and Combo Points is beneficial include:
- before the cooldown on Shiv recharges, to allow for immediate use
and optimized burst;
- before an important add spawns, so you can apply as much instant pressure as possible;
- to assist with Envenom uptime, by chaining two
Envenoms so that the buff does not drop;
- an encounter-specific buff or damage phase is imminent.
Kingsbane is a new talent that applies a DoT effect that increases
in strength for every lethal poison application. You will want to hold
Shiv
and 
Thistle Tea to overlap with the ending of the debuff, and try to
maintain a 100%
Envenom uptime during its entire debuff duration.
Pooling Energy is not a magical DPS gain by itself. It allows you to slightly adjust the timing of your abilities so that you fit more attacks during periods of increased damage (provided you can properly identify when such periods are going to come).
Defensive Utility
All Rogues have a solid number of defensive cooldowns, making them the best candidate for soaking required mechanics and dealing with heavy incoming damage.
Feint reduces AoE damage taken by 40% for 5 seconds for 35
Energy. When talented into 
Elusiveness, it also reduces all other
damage by 30%. Feint is fantastic for dealing with predictable raid
damage.
Cloak of Shadows provides magic immunity for 1 second, followed
by 4 seconds where all spells will miss you. Cloak of Shadows has a variety of
uses, both pre-emptive and reactive, such as solo soaking mechanics or clearing
debuffs that would force you out of melee range.
Evasion increases your Dodge chance by 100% for 10 seconds.
This can be useful if you have to tank some adds or the boss for a few
seconds. In rare cases, it can be used to negate physical ranged attacks or
spells.
Cheat Death is a talent that allows you to escape lethal damage
once every 6 minutes. The damage cannot exceed more than twice your maximum
health. Cheat Death is great for soaking mechanics that pierce
immunities and damage reductions, as it guarantees your survival. It is also
great for encounters with bursty damage that might take you by surprise, as
you get a free get-out-of-jail-free card at least once in the encounter.
Crimson Vial provides a respectable amount of healing on a 30-second
cooldown.
Do not forget about this defensive toolkit, as it can be a major asset for both individual and raid-wide survivability.
