Sub or Assassassassion?

The thing about Rogues that I like right now, is that all specs/talents are viable, none are BiS, all depends on the role and play style/gear.

I prefer combat rogues with subterfuge.

- Good burst
- Good autos
- Strong sinisters
- Strong eviscrate
- Aoe damage (multiple targets)

(Balanced kit)
 
Assassins are better against heavy armored units: like paladins. Poisons avoid armor. I prefer Assassination for night elves only with Nightstalker. Now Envenom refreshes the duration of Slice and Dice: to its 5 combo points maximum. That is a great improvement! I have to relearn my rotation just for this. Stacking haste is worth it for that spec.

Subtlety is for light armored units: like priests. They have more agility and bleeds cannot be removed: but that's all. What happens when two rogues encounter each other? Mostly the Subtlety one becomes history.

Combat is somewhere in middle: is deadly to medium armored druids if you don't let them escape. Swiftness Potions are must-have items. Combat is noticeably stronger now. Combat typically for humans, I suggest Shadow focus as talent. That is underrated, but I find it works very well with this spec.
 
What about Assassassassassassassassassinationononononon?
 
Sub is definitely the weakest spec now since the agility bonus has been nerfed. As far as combat or assassination though thats a toss up. IMO its all up to RNG with crits at that point. As far as talents though night stalker is my favorite if not just for t he 20% stealth speed bonus.

Newkid with a big mouth. Care to set up some wargames?


Assassination is currently the best spec but combat is too juicy with fangs.




Still waiting for those wargames.

Another little tip to all the rogues out there, seeing as we are always getting money capped anyway, invest in 'vanishing powder'.

Rogues don't really have a BiS talent, there all situational, I like to use subterfuge when killing flag carriers and night stalker to catch up to people.

Rogues have no active talent abilities, they are all passive, which means you will not have to re-arrange your tool bar every time you change talents.

Its just another tool to utilize on rogues.
