You can use Shadowstrike as long as you have a dagger in your main hand. The off-hand does not matter. As such you *need* a dagger in your main hand, but your off-hand can be whatever you want, including a fist weapon. You will always pick the item with the best stats in your off-hand as a result.

I wish this post went more into detail about talents and why certain ones aren't taken.

May I ask which 2-set bonus triggers symbols of death? You mention it as part of the rotation but none of the set items in your gear list have that kind of bonus.

 

thanks!

The bonus comes from the seasonal set that you can get in your vault or in the raid. It is also displayed on the gear list on the chest and leg slots since these are the recommended parts. If you put your mouse over these, you will see it. By default though since it is redirecting to the wowhead item it displayes the set bonuses of all three specs sorted by alphabetical order, so you need to look past the Assa and Outlaw 2P to spot the Sub one !

Surely "Exhilarating Executions" should be used should it not? 5% heal for every finisher + shield at full hp sounds to good I think.

Hello. The talent isn't as great as it sounds because it is locked behind a rather bad talent and also doesn't lead to good talents. You're way better off killing your enemies with good offensive talents !
Keep in mind that it's not 5% of your health per finisher, but 5% of the damage you deal. In practise that means that with 0% dampening and no mortal strike effect on you, if you were to 100-0 someone with only finishers, you'd only heal 5% of your health. That doesn't sound so good written that way, right ? 😉

Any plans to update build and rotation for last patch? I'm Still seeing sceptis in rotation wich has been removed from the game and goreman' saw is in your rotation but not in the build.

Hi!
I thought I had removed the instances of Sepsis, but it appears I have not, I'll get this fixed. As for Goremaw, it is only displayed in the Combo Point builder section. And it is a Combo Point builder, whether you talent into it or not. I'll leave it because while the builds we provide are good and meta you may decide to talent differently in some situations, or also just for fun. It would be impossible to cover every single build in the talent page, so you will sometimes find spells that are not in the recommended build(s). I don't generally include them in the rotation, but it is nice that they get a quick mention still.
Hope that helps!
