Assassin Rogue Trinket Question

[Raxidon 0]

• For your trinkets, the priority is, in theory:  Haromm's Talisman, Ticking Ebon Detonator, and  Assurance of Consequence. In practice, Assurance of Consequence is extremely good on a lot of fights because the proc has an internal cooldown, meaning that the procs can be predicted and tracked, allowing you to make the best of them. Also, it reduces the cooldown of  Cloak of Shadows, which makes it an excellent trinket for progression (so excellent that it is almost mandatory for the execution of certain strategies on Siegecrafter Blackfuse and Garrosh Hellscream in Heroic Mode).

 

Okay, I'm a little confused here, is this telling me to use Haromms + Ebon and switch to Assurance for Siegecrafter / Garrosh strategies? I've recently acquired two Heroic weapons for Assassination and have been seriously contemplating giving it a go.

 

I have a Ticking Ebon Detonator, Haromm's Talisman, and Assurance of Consequences all at 569 4/4. For daggers, I'll be using either two Norushen's Shortblades, or one Norushen's Shortblade and one Nazgrim's Gutripper (if I can get it this following week).

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

What it's saying is that in a vacuum, Haromm's and TED produce more potential single target DPS over a long time frame. However, given that we do not DPS in a vacuum, AoC provides a lot of practical value. The reduced cooldowns that AoC provides can be very useful for Cloak of Shadows timing and spacing out cooldowns to coincide with critical phases of a fight. Garrosh is a good example of the Cloak of Shadows timing; if you have a high level AoC (which you do), you can have Cloak of Shadows ready for every Whirling Corruption attack. You would not have this timing without AoC.

 

What it will come down to for you is personal testing. Try a boss attempt with and without the AoC trinket, and see how your cooldown timing changes. If you have all of your cooldown whenever you need them without the AoC trinket, you can do without.

Thank you, Krush! I was kind of thinking along those lines. I'd definitely switch to AoC for Garrosh, guess it'd just be about testing it. 

 

Do you know which would be better to switch out for AoC?

I would switch out TeD for AoC and use that with Haromm's. This is also a better trinket setup than double RPPM on all fights, depending on all fights, if you gain another round of cooldowns it is better, else stick to two rppm.
