Assassination Rogue PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / 9.0.2)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Assassination Rogue (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Assassination Rogue PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
In 2v2 Arena you will be focusing on single target damage. Depending on what
healer you are playing with, use Cheap Shot on the enemy healer to
setup crowd control. For example, if you are playing with a Discipline Priest,
you should use Cheap Shot on the enemy healer so your Priest can get close
enough to use
Psychic Scream.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Assassination Rogue + Discipline Priest
- Assassination Rogue + Restoration Druid
- Assassination Rogue + Fire Mage
- Assassination Rogue + Holy Paladin
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena. You will likely be focusing on
maximizing your single target damage. If you are playing against a healer that
is not mobile (Discipline Priest, Holy Paladin, or Restoration Shaman), you can
open on them and try to force a trinket or major defensive. If the enemy healer
trinkets, you can use Blind with your next setup. Your overall goal is
to focus an enemy without a trinket. When you and your teammate have damage,
use
Cheap Shot on the enemy healer. After this, use
Kidney Shot
on your kill target and continue with your burst rotation. It is important to
note that Rogues are very easy to kill in 3v3 Arena. Make sure you are
maintaining your
Feint buff and play defensively when your team does
not have much damage.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RMP (Assassination Rogue + Arcane Mage/Fire Mage + Discipline Priest)
- RMPally (Assassination Rogue + Fire Mage + Holy Paladin)
- RMD (Assassination Rogue + Frost Mage + Restoration Druid)
- RLS (Assassination Rogue + Destruction Warlock + Holy Paladin/Restoration Shaman)
