You can flag yourself for PVP play on a PVE server. Though it is my experience that most people don't flag themselves for PVP on PVE servers in DCUO. The Assassination Rogue has two roles in PvP: shutting down casters/healers with relentless mobility and crowd control and having strong sustained damage outside of burst cooldowns. Dmg pds. With high damage, high control and great sustained damage, this is one of the top PvP specs for Rogues.
Welcome to this World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth Guide for Assassination Rogues looking to optimize their DPS in PvE end-game. The recommendations in this guide are a mixture of automated simulation data and hand-picked choices that account for the wide variety of character setups at level 120.
This guide is a resource to help optimize your character using up-to-date stat priorities, stat weights, talent builds, rotations and more curated by a small team who've played since 2004. This guide is intended to be a straight-to-the-point resource to quickly get you back in the game. If your intent is to achieve high performance DPS, you will want to focus on reacting fast and intelligently in encounters, executing rotations flawlessly, having good FPS, low latency, and timing cooldowns and consumables optimally as they are large factors for performing well. Players love to emphasize and theorycraft over the value of certain stats, talents etc. While they are impactful, they will not make as much a difference as you yourself until you are performing at a very high competitive level. This guide will give you that extra 5%, but the other 95% is up to you.
Browsing through this guide couldn't be easier. Below are the guides available, and remember you can always use the tabs above to navigate through them. Best batch image processing software for mac.

It's a must to get hit cap first for the poisons. There is an 17% chance for a spell attack to miss a level 83 Boss. (Poisons are regarded as spells!) Your hit cap is 315. If you wanna read more about rogue caps then click here. Stat priority 1. Hit [315] 2. Expertise [26/26] 3. Haste [4k AP>Haste] Haste will become useful when you get to have over 4,000 AP. 4. Crit [Critical Strike Rating not Agility] Stats Conversion
Items Try to avoid armor penetration. Your main dps comes from poisons which are spells. Get trinkets with haste bonus. Items with bonuses like this http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=47272 are the best and items with bonuses like this http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=50264 are the worst. Talents http://i.imgur.com/TNdOZnj.png Assassination (51 points) Tier 1 Malice (5/5) – Increases your Critical Strike chance by 5% (1 per point). This is a very powerful talent to be in a first tier, and that’s why this isn’t skipped by any Rogue, regardless of Spec. Tier 2 Ruthlessness (3/3) – Gives your melee finishing moves a 60% chance to add a combat point to your target. Assassination rogues rely on fast generation of combo points rather than pure energy regen like Combat. Puncturing Wounds (3/3) – Increases the critical strike chance of your backstab ability by 30% and the critical strike chance of your Mutilate ability by 15%. We’re taking this solely for the Mutilate crit. Tier 3 Lethality (5/5) – Increases the critical strike damage bonus of all combo moves by 30%. This won’t improve our white DPS, but 30% on Mutilate is too huge to ignore. Tier 4 Vile Poisons (3/3) – Increases the damage dealt by your poisons and Envenom ability by 20% and gives your poisons an additional 30% chance to resist dispel effects. As an Assassination Rogue, we’re always going to have poisons on both weapons (really, all rogues should), and Envenom is our main finishing move, as it will refresh Slice and Dice with a talent we’re taking later. Buffing the damage of both is a must. Improved Poisons (5/5) – Increases the chance to apply Instant and Deadly Poison to your targets by 10%. We’re going to be using both of these poisons at all times. Poisoned targets take more damage from Mutilate, the poisons themselves, and it’s necessary to use Envenom. Tier 5 Cold Blood (1/1) – When activated, increases the critical strike chance of your next offensive ability by 100%. A guaranteed crit. Take it and use it as often as possible. I tend to save mine for 5 combo point envenoms, which can crit for 15k+. Fleet Footed (2/2) – Reduces the duration of all movement impairing abilities by 30% and increases movement speed by 15%. This does not stack with other movement speed increasing effects. Reducing the amount of time that you spend moving from target to target will increase your overall DPS. You can also get this from the foot enchant Tuskar’s Vitality. If you go that route, take these two points and place them elsewhere in the tree. Tier 6 Seal Fate (5/5) – Your critical strikes from abilities that add combo points have a 100% chance to add an additional combo point(20% chance per point). Between talents, buffs and abilities, Mutilate is going to crit a fair number of times, so we’re taking this for much faster combo point generation. Murder (2/2) – Increases all damage caused against Humanoid, Giant, Beast, and Dragonkin targets by 4% (2% per point). Unfortunately this doesn’t increase damage against undead, but we still see these types of mobs a lot in Wrath, so you’ll still get that 4% increase a fair amount of the time. Tier 7 Overkill (1/1) – While stealthed and for 20 seconds after breaking stealth, you regenerate 30% more energy. As Combat, it makes sense to run around outside of stealth to start rotations, as opening with Sinister Strike is often the most efficient way to start combat. However, with this talent, it makes sense to open from Stealth whenever possible. This basically functions as a weaker version of Combat’s Adrenaline Rush. When killing trash, it’s generally available on every pull, and on bosses, you can use Vanish offensively to activate it multiple times in a fight. Tier 8 Focused Attacks (3/3) – Your Melee critical strikes have a 100% chance to give you 2 Energy. You crit with your white hits more often than you think. This provides a much needed infusion of extra energy. Find Weakness (3/3) – Offensive ability damage increased by 6%. This ability is a flat 6% increase on all damage abilities you use, so you should definitely take it. Tier 9 Mutilate (1/1) – Instantly attacks with both weapons for and additional 181 with each weapon. Damage is increased by 20% against poisoned targets. Awards 2 combo points. You can’t be a true Assassination Rogue without taking this talent, as the tree is really built around it now. True it is expensive at 60 energy (unglyphed), but it does massive damage and awards 2 combo points (3 if it crits). Master Poisoner (3/3) – Increases the critical hit chance of all attacks made against any target you have poisoned by 3%, reduces the duration of all poison effects applied to you by 50% and increases the bonus chance to apply Deadly Poison when Envenom is used by 45%. The raid wide critical buff is nice, but a ret paladin will also provide the same buff. The poison duration reduction is also nice but we’re taking this for the increased chance to apply deadly poison. Having this talent will pretty much guarantee that you have 5 stacks up almost all the time. If you do roll with a Ret Paladin and want to take Turn the tables on the other side of this tier, that’s cool too. Tier 10 Cut to the Chase (5/5) – Your Eviscerate and envenom abilities have a 100% chance to refresh your Slice and Dice to its 5 combo point maximum. This was one of the best improvements that Assassination got in Wrath. If you Envenom with 1 combo point, it not only does the Envenom damage, but you’ve just hit a 5 combo point Slice and Dice as well. The only caveat is that Slice and Dice must already be up first. Tier 11 Hunger for Blood (1/1) – Enrages you, increasing all damage caused by 5%. Requires a bleed effect to be active on the target. Lasts 1 minute. We’ll be using Garrote and Rupture if needed, so there’s your bleed effect. This buff should be kept up at all times.
Regarding reapplying Hunger for Blood, it is worth mentioning that MM hunter crits will also proc a bleed that can be used for that purpose.
Combat (13)Dual Wield Specialization (5/5) – Increases the damage done by your offhand weapon by 50%. This is a buff to offhand damage, which includes the offhand damage from Mutilate. We’re taking it mainly to get deeper into the tree; plus, it’s a prereq for Close Quarters Combat. Precision (5/5) – Increases your chance to hit with weapon and poison attacks by 5%. The hit penalty for dual wielding is simply too high for any PvE Rogue build to skip this talent. Close Quarters Combat (5/5) – Increases your chance to get a critical strike with Daggers and Fist Weapons by 5%. because you’re using two daggers, you’ll get 5% extra crit on all direct damage you do. Lightning Reflexes (3/3) Increases your Dodge chance by 6% and gives you 10% melee haste. The dodge is nice, but we’re mainly taking this for the haste buff. This will cause your Deadly Poison to proc more often, which will in turn increase your Instant Poison procs. Additionally, this means more white damage, and more Energy from Focused Attacks. Subtlety (7) Relentless Strikes (2/5) – Your finishing moves have a 8% per combo point to restore 25 Energy. A 40% chance to get free energy every time you use a 5 point finisher and a 32% chance with a 4 point finisher. If you're under 4,500 gs you would like to use these talents. http://i.imgur.com/6r1KZcG.png Glyphs 1. http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=45768 2. http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=45761 3. http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=45767 with t10 2 set bonus or http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=45766 without t10. Both glpyhs are optional if you wish to have more aoe dmg the get Fan of Knives. Gems Meta http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=41398 Yellow http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40128 Red http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40159 if you're under 4k AP then gem red sockets with http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40114 Blue http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40169 only when the socket bonus is with agility. T9 geared rogues will benefit more from full AP gemming, and as they gain gear from ICC, Haste overcomes AP in EP and becomes the best stat. Why? Haste EP's improves as your AP increases. Therefore, once you're decked out in T10, you will benefit the most from mixing AP gems with Haste. AGI vs AP? The reason why you should never gem agility is because 1 agility equals to 1 AP, 0.012% Crit, and 0.024% dodge. It gives a little crit bonus (works on yellow and white hits, does not affect poisons) but it surely is not better than AP gem because poisons benefit from AP and Critical Strike Rating only. At high gear levels, it is possible to run into crit cap issues - sometimes quite severely. Hence, it is not uncommon to need some hit both on gear and in sockets to mitigate this problem. This also makes crit (and to a lesser extent, agi) somewhat less desirable as a stat (as it means you need to socket more hit to cover it).

This class is pretty awesome to play but pretty expensive if you want to get your dps to the top. It's because you need a lot of http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40211 . 3 things you must know before reading the rotation section :P 1. You need to keep up your http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=63848 (HFB) all the time(8% dps increase). 2. Keep up the http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=6774 (SND). This part is easy because every time you cast http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=57993 your SND gets instantly back to maximum buff time which means you only need to apply this buff once at the start and never use it again when you're in combat. This awesome thing comes from your talent tree called as http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=51669 . 3. Try to time your http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=57993 . Don't spam it. Use this only when the last one runs out. Use http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=57993 only with 4 or 5 combo points. Rotation Close or hide recount for the fight! Less stress, more fun.It's huge distraction (For example imagine yourself watching the recount, seeing you're first with big numbers. But one moment you're dropping down like to 6th place. From that moment you might start focusing more on recount than on your rotation. You might get discouraged and you might start to make mistakes). Keep your eye on cooldowns, combo points and never let the energy to the maximum. When there's no warrior or druid in your party/raid then you have to use http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=48676 and http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=48672 to apply http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=63848 (works only with bleed effect).

Little update. I've done some testing on PTR as I was attempting to find out what weapons would give better results. Since I was already there I ran a set with your proposed BiS list to see what the difference was. To make it somewhat consistent I ran with 2 million damage intervals, self bleeding, and absolutely zero external buffs. I assumed that as per chemical titration, 4 attempts at testing were sufficient. Here are the results: Your BiS list: Attempt 1: 3669 DPS Attempt 2: 3599 DPS Attempt 3: 3619 DPS Attempt 4: 3641 DPS Average: 3632 DPS My BiS list with 2x http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40386 : Attempt 1: 3874 DPS Attempt 2: 3921 DPS Attempt 3: 3869 DPS Attempt 4: 3901 DPS Average: 3891.3 DPS My BiS list with 1x http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40386 and http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=39714 : Attempt 1: 3813 DPS Attempt 2: 3809 DPS Attempt 3: 3789 DPS Attempt 4: 3796 DPS Average: 3801.8 DPS My BiS list with 1x http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40386 and http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40368 : Attempt 1: 3328 DPS Attempt 2: 3543 DPS Attempt 3: 3467 DPS Attempt 4: 3497 DPS Average: 3458.8 DPS Discussion: I had a feeling in the back of my head that using two http://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=40386 would be better, but never tested it. Now that I have it seems to be yielding better results. Our 2nd rogue managed to get his hands on two of these bad boys and has greatly improved his DPS. 16k on Thaddius was quite a shock. Conclusion: Have any rogues parsed 8k on Patch? Not quite. However, in the same raid you manage to do less on other bosses than us. Excuses aside, if you want somebody to accept your results as valid, consistency is vital. I am also quite sure that the numbers above, as well as in our logs, will not convince you of anything. How could they? When I ignored all-so-important secondary stats. Feel free to test it yourselves. As for 'your' list, it has just been posted in the most viewed assassination rogue thread, which in a few months will be completely obsolete and we can begin this dance once more. :) So if the stupid want to be lead by the blind, who am I to stop them. As far as I am concerned, my input here has concluded. Your attention was very much appreciated :) Best of luck in your future endevours Macros Mutilate with autoattack. Really simple ToTT macro, no need to worry where's the tank.
#showtooltip Tricks of the Trade /cast [@targettarget] Tricks of the Trade Poisons on the skillbar slot 16 is mh and 17 oh. Vanish & autoattack. Poweraura Will update soon. I suggest to download poweraura addon so you can track your skills. I will upload the codes when I can. This is a guide for maximum dps. I didn't make any expetions for it. Any kind of feedback is welcome and let me know how much did your dps increase:). Originally Posted by trm90 I am having a debate in wether I should gem 20agility or 40AP? (yeah it's half the amount of the pure AP gems but they give us cri% and also with 'horn of winter' & 'kings' won't it be just a bit behind 40AP gems? aside a crazy load of extra cri%? , and also I never understood why 1.40 weapon is so important am doesn't it add like just a bit more poisons?
Your questions are quite valid, especially on Molten, where buffs and auras used to stack until recently.
1) 40 AP gems net more DPS than 20 agility, the crit gain from 20 Agility is not worth the AP loss. 2) It's a 1.40 speed dagger, now add 40% from SnD, 30% from Bloodlust, 20% from Windfury Totem / Icy Talons, add Haste from your gear, food, elixirs and Potion of Speed and the difference between 1.80 and 1.40 becomes HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. The main damage from Assa comes from Instant Poison being reapplied by Deadly Poison, which happens the most when the Envenom buff is up, which is basically the point of the whole Assa rotation - having a 100% uptime on Envenom. During that time your 1.40 OH dagger will attack for like every 0.5 sec or so, with an improved chance to apply poisons, which means that basically when you have Envenom up almost every OH attack you do will apply DP, and therefore IP. ^this is basically the whole theorycrafting behind WotLK PvE Assa in a nutshell.
