Assassination Rogue 7.3

With the updated Nether page there seems to be an issue where all the numerical values were replaced by the word "insignia" for the trait tooltips.

I think this was just a temporary issue while it was being uploaded/updated - I can't see the issue anymore, so I think it has been resolved. Let me know if you're still seeing this.

About last Nether update.

Are you sure is "+weapon item level" instead of "+relic item level"?

If we follow this statement it would mean that 945 ilvl weapon with 6 Master Alchemist is better than 990 ilvl weapon with 0 Master Alchemist. 

Impossible in my opinion

A weapon will never have 0 Master Alchemist, because by default you have 4 levels in the trait.

An ilevel 965 relic is +77 weapon ilevels, and a 945 one is +71.

Here's the weights for my relics, which I'll use in the example below. Assume that the relics in question have the same Primary and Tertiary traits.

If you get a 945 relic with the best Shadow trait, Master of Shadows (+28), the two would combine for +99. If you get a 965 one, you'd have to drop to the second worst one (Chaotic Darkness at +21) for the relic to not be an upgrade, and even then you'd have 3 options on the Light side which are more beneficial too, so you have the chance to take a different path on the 2nd row and have a relic which is an upgrade.

So to answer your question, the traits are indeed compared by what the weapon ilevel is, but the difference isn't as drastic as your supposition makes it out to be. You can find your own relic weights for your legendary setup on this spreadsheet, and then get an easy calculation done for which relic is better using the addon called Crucible Weight

About the Relic Traits,

I don´t quite get what Relic Traits to choose. The Guide says Master Assassin for the 1st or 3rd Relic while the small text above it says to use either 1 or 3.
So should we choose between (1 Master Assassin + 2 master alchemy ) or 3 Master Assasin, or how is this meant to be?

They can both be good. It really depends lol. I recommend checking this spreadsheet and using an addon called CrucibleWeight to help you determine which relics are most optimal for your own personal use.
