i played assassin for years, moved to WW Monk in Dragon Flight and want to main Assassin in War With in to fill in a raid spot need for out guild. QUESTION. I am hitting the dummies regularly to understand Mythic DPS. Some of my parses are 650-750k, then on occasion i will hit 1.6M. i don't understand what key part of the rotation is causing the spike.. luck, Crits... no idea. Same in mythic dungeons, cruise along at 400k then BAM 1.6M with same (i think) key presses. Any ideas?

Your recap on energy pooling for specifics from WoTLK that are applicable in Cata were very insightful. Thank you for taking the time to go over these things in this video for those of us that might have missed these concepts, previously. No doubt, I will be a much more effective Rogue now. Much appreciated, Sq.

[barbaranichols]

Keep doing the videos! It’s really improved my playing as a rogue! Much appreciated! Dont stop!

I was usually having to wait a bit to pop riddle during my opener and wasn't sure why. It was due to synapse being in my mutilate macro. Thanks for explaining the interaction between synapse and on-use trinkets

i've been playing Sin as my main spec for the whole Xpac so far, and i keep trying to psyche myself up to become a Sub coper :') but i just cant bring myself to do it! every time i look at that rotation i quiver and the little demon on my shoulder just goes "play Sin, its heaps easier" hahaha

One of the best rogues out there, thanks for preparing me for raids^^

Never wanting to clip rupture is wrong though. Cata introduced a mechanic that lets you clip your dots befor the last tick and then adds the last tick to your new dots. For example if you have a rupture up on the boss and the remaining time is 1.9 sec you can recast a 5 cp rupture with glpyh and get a 21.9 sec rupture up instead of the usual max 20 sec rupture because its saves the last tick and carries it over. Not cliping is overall a dmg loss since you lose uptime unless you frame perfectly recast your rupture the frame it runs out.

Whats better strat for opener burst, use ingi gloves first and then riddle trinket when rdy or first trinket and then gloves?

[projectundrfire]

I thought cold blood didn't apply to overtime? Or are you wasting it on a buff overtime and no increase to burst damage?

[FATEMKR]

My only problem is after I apply all debuffs on the enemy and use cold blood, I end up having a bunch of energy and too many combo points, which I don’t want to waste on my rupture so I just end up using envenom. Is there a combo point waster that Assass rogues can use? (Btw, this only happens once or twice per raid boss and I still pump 26k dps, but was wanting to get the most out of my rotation

[MichaelWinsteadYT]

Can someone explain if Mutilate is empowered by Envenom in some other way than the additional poison application?

[gigikhoperia]

question . do wo swap 1.8 dagger in main hand when we spamming backstab ?

[sneakyduck]

If rupture is falling off and I have 1 combo point. Is it better to pool energy and rupture for one when it falls off or mutilate for additional combo points then rupture assuming you don't loose uptime on rupture by doing this.

[jimmyguy]

Just curious if you wouldn’t mind sharing an aoe rotation or advice? For example if you run assination in heroics when would you fok spam vs trying to rupture in mobs etc?

[simfun]

Hey Bro, I previously popped all CDs with first Rupture binded to it. What do you think about this? Like:
/cast Rupture
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Berserking
I obviously chose riddle over synapse springs and popped it right after synapse faded.

[peyoteguy]

Haven't played since P1 wrath. Wish me luck lol. Good guide.

[majjek]

You can clip rupture sub 2s left. That extra time will be added to the next rupture.

So we are suppose to pop vendetta and cold blood mid rotation? I always pop it pre pull to put it on cool down asap.

whats the nameplate addon youre using for yourself and target?
