Assassination Rogue 5-Min Guide | Wrath of the Lich King

hello and welcome to my five-minute assassination rogue guide the assassination rogue has a combo point-based builder spender combat style with some buff management they have a strong sustained single target damage profile they use a variety of stealth based mechanics they are an accessible class that is strong early in the expansion they are low complexity to learn let's find out what the assassination rogue brings for raid buffs and debuffs they bring a 3 crit chance buff with a master poisoner this buff is also brought by elemental shamans and retribution paladins they can reduce an enemy's armor by 20 percent with exposed armor this is normally handled by warriors with sunder armor since they have to commit less resources to keep it up and finally the buff that rogues are most known for in wrath is tricks of the trade a threat redirection and 15 damage buff to another player tricks of the trade has a lot of uses let's go over the most common ones the first is to tricks the tank this is normally done in dungeons when new ads spawn in a raid encounter or on pole of a raid encounter the next is to use tricks on a dps player who gets a lot of value out of it in the current fan server meta affliction warlocks are one of the top choices for tricks to see why watch my video on affliction warlocks the classic meta might change in a different class like arcane mages for example might become priority for tricks the last common way to use tricks is to simply just trade it with another rogue just check to see which your team prefers if they don't really care this is often the default option in the description of this video there will be a link to some useful macros to ease the use of tricks of the trade for utility rogues bring a lot of crowd control with two stuns in cheap shot and kidney shot a 10 second disorient with blind and the hard out of combat humanoid beast demon and dragonkin exclusive cc sap they also bring a few other minor cc effects rogues are also the only class that can disarm traps and pick locks the priority system for assassination rogues is very simple you keep up hunger for blood you keep up slice and dice use mutilate till four to five combo points then use in venom as always let's go over an example rotation before you enter combat make sure you have the correct poisons on your weapons if you have weapons of different speeds make sure that the fast weapon has deadly poison and the slower weapon has instant poison if you want to know why you put your poisons on your weapons like this the best person to watch is another youtuber by the name of the simonize show if you're looking to get the most out of your rogue in classic world of warcraft i cannot suggest this youtuber enough next ensure that you are in stealth when you start combat this is so you can proc your talent overkill as well as use one of your stealth abilities in this case the rote i chose to use garrote in this case instead of ambush because i need a bleed on the target to proc my next ability hunger for blood for another class such as a warrior or a druid is procking your bleed you can instead use ambush i then use the combo point i got from corrupt to use slice and dice i then cast mutilate until i have four or five combo points once i have the combo points i use cold blood and in venom i then start casting mutilate all over again to repeat the process you can use vanish as a cool down to proc overkill again when it comes to rogue aoe it's very important to know how many targets you're facing if you're facing two three or four targets you're better off using your single target rotation if you're facing five or more targets you can start spamming fan of knives if you can anticipate an ad phase coming try to invent them right before the add phase then spam fan of knives here's an early game talent build okay thanks bye
