Hey guys im currently lvling up a rogue to 60, im also thinking of going assasination if it is even slightly viable.

chardev 9
(hope the link works, have never linked before in a thread)

here is a link to what i want it to look like, any improvements please let me know

P.S i would keep a pair of the engi boots in my bag for when i want to use em.

If you're only gonna get just under 4% resi I wouldn't bother with the lucents, just put shifting dreadstones or pure agi in their place

that seems very illogical that if i have low resi with my gear it is better to lose the resi altogether, it is going to help me survive more than pure 30stam gems will, especially with a healer as i wont take as much damage.

it just doesnt make sense to me what your saying, maybe its me, i dont know.

I guess i'm the most active assa rogue in this bracket so feel free to check my armory. Played for years in with this gear and specc.

I don't know how assassin will work for PVP, but for PVE it works pretty well.

Try to get 22 agility on boots instead of 32 AP

well atm your gear is only giving something like 3.72% resilience, which is basically worthless

Hi.

Meat is right, this bracket is about kill or be killed. Less than 4% resilience is not going to help much especially as Assassination as you do not even have Cheat Death. Gem full Agi instead of worrying about a small socket bonus. Other improvements:

Double gem slot belt, it is still better overall, do not focus on a small set bonus as the basis for big gear changes.
20 Agi on gloves. 0.74% crit>1 Attack Power (based on chardev conversion).
16 Agi on boots. 0.60% more crit AND 2 more AP (based on chardev conversion).
As you have vrttually no res, and burst is king on rogues, go 10 stats or 275 health to Chest if you must.
I prefer Skinning over Mining for the extra nuke, but if your worried about the extra health then keep Mining. Although it is not going to save you any more with the burst in this bracket as people tend to get 2-3 shot with that amount of health anyway.

Mongoose on weps is better than Berserking. We had a discussion thread (well several) ages ago in 70-79 and it was proven overall that Mongoose is better there, albeit as Subtlety. With scaling better at 60, the gap is going to be even wider in favor of Mongoose. You get more AP with Berserking but with Attack Speed increase from Mogoose the weapon dps is almost the same plus some 4.5% more crit and AND 6.54% more dodge for the duration...

Regards.

thanks alot for your help one question is that you say mongoose is better for Sublety and i want to play assas, would mongoose still be best?

Yes Mongoose is better than Berserking even for Assassination AT 60.
