Subtlety Rogue DPS Spec, Builds, and Talents — The War Within (11.1.5)

There is currently not many options for either class or spec talent points. Theres clear winners that are numerically superior to the other alternatives so theres not really any situation where you would swap talents based on any encounter or specific scenario.

Trickster is currently notably ahead in Single-Target due to the synergy the hero talent tree has with the Rogue Subtlety 11.1 Class Set 4pc around huge bursts.

On low to mid target counts Trickster plays very similar to how it does in pure Single-Target due to the talent Nimble Flurry, but you still want to start casting Black Powders at 7 or more targets simply because it does more damage than Eviscerate cleave.

The two minor differences between the Mythic+ / Aoe talent build and the Single-Target setup are:

• Weaponmaster to The First Dance
• Finality to The Rotten

The Rotten is chosen because in AoE situations with 7 or more targets it guarantees a critical hit with Shuriken Storm during your burst so your Black Powder will benefit from Shadowed Finishers on every target. Weaponmaster provides close to zero damage in AoE scenarios, so even if you rarely get the buff from The First Dance it's still worth it the swap.

Deathstalker with this talent build noticeably has less burst but slightly higher sustained damage, especially outside Shadow Blades and Shadow Dance. Overall its still a fine option for AoE but a little bit weaker than Trickster.
