Assassination Rogue PvP 10.2.5 | Back to Rank 1 on the Assa ladder ! 

I've been told that several times, and I understand. I simply like to do it this way. You can choose to look at the arena game, or the game + the tips without being forced to have the voiceover. And also, it takes a lot more time to prepare a good voice over, and edit the audio afterwards :p

I use the AoE build more often. It deals more damage, and in Shuffle that's rather important.

That would be a point! Eating to mich dmg😂😂

It's actually a good video topic. I might do it sometimes!

Maybe one day!

Good bleed uptime on many enemies !

Also is your UI/WA pack available?

I find myself looking more at party frames than at my own health. It actually confuses me sometimes in Shuffle when I am paired with another Rogue ! Here is my UI: pastebin.com/zwHKgmvp The weakauras are all simple ones that you can make in a few clicks. New Aura > Premade Auras (at the very top) > Icon > whichever size you want > whichever buff you want in the list.

It's the one I like the most at least. Best ? Who knows !

A while ago.

@@Shadenox I completely missed that memo. What caused the shift? Also why fok talents? Why not choose venom rush over flying daggers?

@@SicariusGaming87 You pick these talents into any comp that will allow you high cleave damage, which is what Assassination is the best at. So, since enemies are supposed to be close by for Carnage to work you can pick FoK talents yo build CPs with it rather than Mutilate. If there are 3 or more targets it is more damage and more generated Combo Points for a cheaper energy cost. Then, since you should be using FoK a lot and Mutilate only when there is one single isolated target or when you burst someome down, Venom Rush is rather useless.

I don't think this build is as good in 2v2 because there aren't many targets to DoT. Instead of the Fan of Knives talents, Crimson Tempest and Carnage you should go for Bone Spike and other single target talents. You still DoT both enemies, but one by one.

With my talents when there are enough targets it deals more overall damage, gives more CPs and is cheaper than Mutilate. If you want to cleave and you don't risk breaking CC, it's good !

Mastery is a big deal. There's also when you use Kingsbane. I always use it with Dance, Tea, Badge and Shiv active, so it's a lot of buffs for Kingsbane. And finally, if you hit it when someone is below 35%, it deals 30% more damage as well.

thanks a lot!@@Shadenox

No, not yet at least !

​@@Shadenoxpls start , you'd have a huge following

I play like most people I think, left hand on the keyboard, right hand on the mouse :p I use the keys from Q to T, A to G, W to N, and 1 to 5, and most of them have modifiers with ctrl, shift and sometimes alt. Couple things bound on the mousewheel too.

@@Shadenox thank you very much 😋🙏🏼

He plays with 2 PvP trinkets, just no medallion. Either Honor Insignia + Conquest Insignia, or Badge + Insignia. Check him !

SArena, Omnibar, OmniCD, Diminish and BigDebuffs. I have a quick section in which I talk about that in my most recent guide! As for 2s I wouldn't play the Carnage/Crimson Tempest build as there are not enough enemies for it to be valuable. You would still cleave, but by applying your bleeds to both enemies one by one. And instead of the AoE talents you'd pick Bonespike (and the talent above) as well as Venom Rush !

@@Shadenox thank you so much!!! You’re so helpful

Every 2 min you get them both as your big go. Use kingsbane on its own when deathmark on cooldown as your mini go 👊🏼

I use them at different times unless I know this is likely to result in a kill. When you use either Dance + Kingsbane or Deathmark people usually use defensive cooldowns. You don't really want the defensive cooldowns to catch both your offensive ones. For instance, if I face a Holy Paladin I know he is likely to use BoP on Deathmark, so I can use Deathmark to get a BoP, and then try to kill with Shadow Dance and Kingsbane. Alternatively, I can try to kill someone with Dance and Kingsbane, if I am going to be successful the Paladin will BoP to save his ally, and then I can Deathmark while he cannot use his second BoP. Stuff like that !

In 3s Outlaw has better comps, and is overall a better spec but Assa remains good. In Shuffle I'd say both specs are rather even because while Outlaw is overall better Assa is very strong when dampening ramps up, and it ramps up very quickly in Shuffle. And if you are interested in 2s then Outlaw is way better.

@@Shadenox Thank you so much!
