need guide for assassin rogue 7.2.5

[darkblitz19]

can anyone teach me how to use assassin rogue properly and prioritizing stats and rotation and what proper legendary items to equip and what items is good for those people don't get the proper legendary.

Hey!
As an assassination rogue your main goal is to try and keep the highest uptime possible on your bleeds and poisons while doing a lot of damage with your envenom.
Your main stat is Mastery which you should try to get as high as possible. After mastery you got crit which is slighty better than versatility and last is haste which is useless.
Best legendaries are the shoulders + feet/bracers.
It's hard to say what items are ''best'' if you don't get proper legendaries. Usually any type of legendary gives you more value than a basic item so it's almost always worth replacing it.

The rotation for assassination rogue isn't hard and there are many guides out there. I suggest going on youtube, there are plenty of good guides on there.

Ahmm i did see many guides but im still confuse though others say you must Kingsbane then Toxicblade and other guide says you must use Toxicblade then Kingsbane..

U use kingsbane then use toxic blade in order to not waste time applying kingsbane..and only hitting envenoms in the toxic blade window.

Is it ok if i ask you whats your rotation so i could compare it to others hehe

I dont play assasination anymore,since sub does damage better,but still assa is very good in mythic keys because of the aoe potential and regarding the rotation ..it depends on what legendaries u have and talents ,but for the sake of it ,Garrote>Mutilate>Rupture>Mutilate x2 >Envenom>Vanish>Garrote>kingsbane>Toxicblade>spam mutilate -envenom and reapply rupture if it wears off.

So Vanish>Garotte>Kingsbane>Toxicblade>Multilate2x>Envenom?...

[ryangg]

Yeah,but after kingsbane and toxiblade u wont do 2x mutilate because u will have enough combo points for envenom.

I can give a few short tips from experience/guides I've read.

1. Talents: The basic talent choices are going to be master poisoner, nightstalker/subterfuge (reported approximately same dps output, but quite different opener playstyles; I recommend subterfuge as it is easier to learn), vigor, cheat death, w/e, toxic blade (TB) and venom rush. You rarely pick other talents, it's all about poisons.
2. Legendaries: As have been mentioned before, mantle (shoulders) + feet/wrists. Mantle is mandatory, it's the most insane legendary for any situation and any rogue spec. I personally like the wrists as I don't raid as much as I do mythic dungeons.
3. Relics: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vmVwWWnNhrbzi0S_qK6emjFquyUexbTmOEov7vkRjjg/edit#gid=1313815463 Check out this doc if you want some tips on what relics are best. Short summary: master assassin/master alchemist traits are BEST.
4. Trinkets: Only going to recommend getting your hands on Convergence of Fates. Super solid trinket no matter the ilvl (imo). Otherwise, look for dps trinkets/stat sticks, like specter/engine/cinders/ceaseless toxins etc.


The key with toxic blade (TB) and kingsbane has been to use both on CD. Almost every guide you find tells you exactly the same. Kingsbane hits superhard if you use TB in the last 8 (ca.) seconds before it ends, but it is overall a dps loss if you keep timing it like that because TB has a much shorter CD than kingsbane. A tip is to have the envenom buff on yourself before you kingsbane, some guides have reported "extra" poison procs on kingsbane use, and hence slightly higher damage. To not waste TB potential, you can use it BEFORE kingsbane on your opener (otherwise you're wasting almost 10sec of CD time), or you can wait until kingsbane's duration is 8sec remaining. I don't recommend the latter, because you are essentially wasting multiple TB envenoms during the "high-energy" phase of vanish (crit from mantle) and vendetta. Don't mutilate at 4+ combo points, you will overcap 1-3 (this even means applying a 4 CP rupture). Rupture damage becomes super important only if you're running the nightstalker talent, which is when you want to save your vanishes to apply a 5CP rupture.
