Assassination Rogue DPS Uldir Raid Guide — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5

This page will focus on how an Assassination Rogue can optimize its performance on the raid bosses in the Uldir raid, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses. Initially, this page will focus on Heroic mode and lower, however, as more bosses are being killed on Mythic, the guide will also include optimizations for Mythic bosses.

Assassination Rogues are going to be competitive in Uldir, due to their strong burst DPS.

• If you get targeted by Plasma Discharge, use Sprint to move out of melee and towards the outsides of the room, returning with a Shadowstep once you have dropped the blood.
• Get rid of Plasma Discharge with Cloak of Shadows, if you get it during Vendetta.

• Use Sprint if you are unable stay in melee range of the boss during Wind Tunnel. Shadowstep can also be used, if you get pushed out of melee range.
• Cloak of Shadows should be saved for Uldir Defensive Beam, in case you do not make it to a safe spot.
• Use Kick and Kidney Shot to stop Clinging Corruption's Remnants of Corruption cast.

• You can use Shadowstep to negate Shockwave Stomp's knockback.

• Stop Nerubian Voidweavers's Void Bolt casts with Kick or Kidney Shot. On lower difficulties, you can also hard-CC them with Blind.
• If you get picked by Roiling Deceit, use Sprint to move out of melee towards the outsides of the room, returning with a Shadowstep once you drop it off.

• Plague Amalgams are the priority kill target, and should be switched to as fast as possible.
• Use Cloak of Shadows if soaking Plague Bombs near the boss, since it will be difficult to dodge spike waves.

• Focus your attention on killing Nazmani Bloodhexers as quickly as possible.
• If you get selected by Dark Revelation, use Sprint to move out. Once the debuff is done, you can return with Shadowstep.

• If you get selected by Imminent Ruin, use Sprint to move out. Once the debuff is done, you can return with Shadowstep.
• You can also negate Imminent Ruin with Cloak of Shadows.
• Interrupt Visions of Madness's Mind Flay with Kick, or stun it with Kidney Shot

Assassination Rogues are an average choice for the upstairs mini-game, since Shadowstep is decent, but not amazing for carrying Power Matrix and you only have one charge.

• If you get selected by Explosive Corruption, use Sprint to move out. Once the debuff is done, you can return with Shadowstep.
