I think the guide (or portions of it) is a bit outdated, it still says the best enchants are versatility for the rings and mark of the claw for the neck. I guess they need to be mastery enchants everywhere ( Mark of the Trained Soldier on the neck)

I am not sure I agree with it. I'd open with garrote > envenom to apply the debuff to improve applications of AP. The issue with the opener having AP is that it takes a bit to get to 5 stacks and that's a huge dps loss considering that each stack is about 10% damage increase (considering the traits also) .

Yeah I would agree with this. 

It's on my list of things to test, I haven't confirmed whether or not it actually snapshots the EP buff or not

This thread is for comments about our Assassination Rogue guide for Legion.

what about the trait for the poison bomb? is the dmg bonus not good enough to take master poisoner..?

especially with the surge of toxins trait.

If your changing what you suggest, may I suggest updating the entire article, instead of just stat weight and talents.  Perhaps Rotation needs adjusted too? lol, thanks for your work.

Odd question, but the rotation guide tells you to use exsanguinate and hemmorrage but the talent section tells you not to take these talents. So which is correct?

No, the bonus damage from Elaborate Planning will outweigh all of that

Yay macros!

OK. I'm pretty macro-heavy when I play.

Here's what I use:

Interrupts and subterfuge:
#showtooltip
/cast [stance:1/3, mod:shift] Pick Pocket; [stance:1/3] sap; [modifier:shift] Gouge; Kick

Spammer for CP (Push for two CP's, hold Shift for one, and to keep Hemorrhage buff up, and Alt to reapply Garrote):
#showtooltip [mod:shift] Hemorrhage; [mod:alt] Garrote; Mutilate
/cast Marked for Death
/cast [mod:shift] Hemorrhage; [mod:alt] Garrote; Mutilate
/startattack
/use [stance:0] 13
/use [stance:0] 14

Finisher:
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Rupture; [mod:alt] Kidney Shot; Envenom
/cast Vendetta

Ranged/AoE:
#showtooltip
/cast [mod:shift] Rupture; [mod:alt] Kidney Shot; Envenom

Defense:
#showtooltip
/cast Evasion
/cast Cloak of Shadows
/cast Feint

Stealth opener:
#showtooltip [mod:shift] Cheap Shot; Garrote
/cast Marked for Death
/cast Vendetta
/cast Shadowstep
/cast [mod:shift] Cheap Shot; Garrote

 

Pretty much, the normal presses use the normally used abilities, the "shift" ones use the ones that are less commonly spammed, and the spammers also use the "nearly always use this cooldown on CD" CD's.

If 'ya wanna get a little more micromanagement, you can put [nomod] in front of things like Marked for Death and Vendetta, so if you're holding Alt then it'll selectively not use those abilities.

I believe every reference to them is prefaced by "if you have taken this talent". Are you seeing ones that are not?

Rotation page has been updated twice in the past 3 days, what are you seeing that still needs to be updated?

The opening sequence has been updated in the guide, so you can check your rotation against that.

How do Zoldyck Family Training Shackles work with Agonizing Poisons? Does it affect Ago Pois somehow?

For the first set of Talents. Is Elaborate planning best? I use hemorrhage and my DPS seems quite high.

EP is a little harder to use correctly but yes

With only 81% you're probably going to see better results with Exsang build

I have no idea, honestly.

I've been doing some checking on Agonizing poison.  It must suffer from diminishing returns.

 

Right now I'm at 120% mastery, I have 3 talents in Master Alchemist which improves agonizing poison by 3% and 3 talents in poison knives, which improves agonizing poison by 6%.

 

The base value of Agonizing poison per stack is 3.5% increased damage taken.

I SHOULD be getting 3.5 x 2.2 x 1.03 x 1.06 = 8.4068% increased damage per stack. Instead I have 6.8% damage per stack.

 

Basic Deadly Poison scales with attack power so is harder for me to compare as to whether it gets DR from our stats. But I have a feeling that it doesn't suffer from DR, as it's a linear improvement when I compare it against one piece of gear at a time from naked to fully geared.

 

Incidentally this means that if you're running deadly poison over agonizing poison, you should definitely take Master Poisoner instead of Elaborate planning.

I just saw the opener, I personally use this:

Garrote (from stealth) > Envenom (blood elf racial) > Mutilate > Vendetta > Mutilate (to 6CP) > Vanish > Rupture.

In this way I get to apply the vanish/rupture with 5 stacks of Agonazing Poisons AND if I get to crit with 1 mutilate after the 1st Envenom  I even apply the vanish/rupture wth EP up.

The opener in the guide applies the big rupture with 2-3 stacks of Agon Pois.

What do you think about it?

@Guest JPax I am pretty sure that 6.8 dmg does not consider the artiact traits.

I think it's probably about the same. You get a little more Energy regen and damage instead of an extra stack or two of Agonizing. 

The difference is likely completely negligible

I think the opener in the guide is meant for exsang builds.

But doesn't Agonazing Poisons damage bonus is applied live like EP's though? meaning it would be better to apply a 130% duration vanished-rupture instead od foinf envenom first if it is the case.

Personally I've had best results using the opener in the guide, with or without Exsang, but since this is still a fairly recent hotfix there's still a little experimentation going on ;)

      Im playing rogue assa in cata classic and after read some guide I don't understand some things about stats. 
      I know as a rogue assa I have to priories hit rating until the spell hit cap of 17% (1332 if I remember) but i dont understand how to manage other stats like mastery and haste/crit or expertise. 
      Did I have to put full mastery ? and reforge all the crit chance, expertise and reforge haste at least ? Or did I have to balance mastery and haste ?
      Can someone help me to understand in wich ordre and priority I have to manage stats as Assa Rogue in wow cata classic ?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
