Rogue — Assassination

How Assassination Rogue wins

Assassination is a DoT-heavy melee spec built on poisons and bleeds. You keep Garrote and Rupture rolling and pool combo points for Envenom, then duplicate everything with Deathmark and Kingsbane.

Role

Melee DPS

Item Level / Agility then Critical Strike

Single target

Deathstalker

Cleave / AoE

Fatebound

Stat priority and consumables

Item level and effect strength still matter. Use this ordering to break close choices, then re-check it after major gear swaps.

1. 1.Item Level / Agility›
2. 2.Critical Strike›
3. 3.Haste›
4. 4.Mastery›
5. 5.Versatility

Critical Strike feeds Seal Fate Combo Points and Dashing Scoundrel Energy; Haste improves regeneration and DoT rate. Treat close pieces as character-specific rather than following a fixed item-level rule.

Opener and priority

Use these as decision priorities, not a rigid cast sequence. Re-evaluate whenever targets, resources, procs, or mechanics change.

Talents and hero trees

Use Deathstalker for the single-target profile below and Fatebound when cleave or adds make its toolkit more valuable.

Recommended starting profiles

Single-target: Deathstalker

Deathstalker adds Deathstalker's Mark and Symbolic Marks for the strongest single-target burst.

• Deathstalker hero tree
• Stat priority: Agility > Critical Strike
• Interrupt: Kick

Multi-target: Fatebound

Fatebound's coin flips reward frequent finishers for stronger sustained cleave.

• Fatebound hero tree
• Prioritize AoE and add-swap talents
• Interrupt: Kick

Utility, defensives, and movement

Your Rogue toolkit is part of the rotation whenever it prevents lost uptime, lethal damage, or an enemy cast.

Cloak of Shadows is a magic immunity window that also clears magic debuffs; Shroud skips trash.

Interrupt: Kick - grab a focus-interrupt macro on the Assassination macros page.

Interface and macros

Use interface changes only when they expose a decision sooner: resources, procs, defensives, dispels, interrupts, and encounter assignments.

What improves results

• Keep poisons applied at all times
• Pool Energy before your cooldowns

Common mistakes

• Deathmark with missing bleeds
• Letting Rupture or Garrote fall off
• Envenom under 5 combo points
• Energy capping
