'''Rogue talents''' are divided into the three trees: assassination, combat, and subtlety. While rogues are always high burst DPSers, the talents for them allow them to choose their own path to DPS. Assassination allows combo points to be gained fast and high burst damage, combat focuses on normal damage every second, and subtlety allows sneak attacks for high amounts of damage.

[[Tarecgosa]] is bound to you, <name>, but only temporarily. An aspect's power is required to permanently seal her essence.

[[Malygos]]'s successor will not be chosen until [[Azeroth]]'s moons next eclipse, and the bond you share will not last until then.

This is a tree based on large amounts of burst damage, in contrast to the sustained DPS found in the combat tree. It makes your poisons less resistible and enables you to rack up more combo points in combat, allowing you to unleash more finishing moves. It's very effective end game in both instances and PvP due to larger, more frequent crits and more effective poison applications.
  
   
  +
Fortunately, there is a way to buy us the time we need. Powerful elements exist that can extend the ritual's effects. Some of these can be found in the [[Plane of Fire]], with which you've become familiar.

== Combat ==
  
−
Whereas the other two trees tend to focus on openers and high burst damage, the combat tree focuses on consistent white (auto-attack) damage to provide sustained DPS. Rather than requiring stealth and relying on powerful openers, you can simply run up to most targets and quickly hack away at them. As such, combat tends to be the best tree for fast leveling, since you can move quickly from one enemy to the next with very little downtime instead of trying to sneak up on enemies.
  
−  
−
It also features a great number of early skills such as Riposte, Deflection, and Lightning Reflexes that can complement other builds. No rogue should go without 5 points in the first-tier Dual Wield Specialization in order to increase their DPS. In addition, while the two other trees are often limited to use daggers because of their dagger-requiring abilities, combat rogues may also utilize axes, maces and swords in good favor. Finally, because of the abilities [[Adrenaline Rush]], [[Blade Flurry]] and [[Killing Spree]], Combat is the best tree for producing [[AoE]]-damage and attacking multiple enemies at the same time.

== Subtlety ==
  
−  
−
The subtlety tree complements rogues who like to stay in the shadows. The tree is based on moving fast and staying hidden while racking up as many combo points in the opening move as possible, and providing more options for escape when things go wrong. With [[Initiative]] and [[Premeditation]] you can open combat with 4 or 5 combo points racked up, giving you an excellent edge at the start of a fight. Patch 1.12 greatly improved the appeal of the subtlety tree with the addition of [[Serrated Blades]] and [[Deadliness]], and the pre-expansion patch 2.01 introduced [[Shadowstep]] as a high level talent.
  
−  
−
The subtlety tree is generally regarded as the optimal PvP and battleground spec for rogues, with many talents designed for sneaking up on players and stacking high opening burst damage to dispatch them before they have a chance to react. However, with the addition of [[Honor Among Thieves]] in 3.0, Subtlety has also become a desirable spec for DPS in dungeons and end-game raids.

= Sustained DPS =
  
−  
−
Often it is asked which Rogue Spec provides the highest sustained DPS? This argument can be boiled down to a rather simple explanation of the functions of Mutilate and Combat rogues. The real goal is to cause as much damage as possible over a long period of time. In order to maximize sustained damage, any rogue should equip the heaviest weapons they can utilize effectively.
 
−  
−
This being said, combat would appear to be the best tree, but not necessarily. The beauty of mutilate is that it allows for the rogue to supplement a lack of weight in the weapon by multiplying its damage. Let’s assume I am a rogue with two daggers and a mutilate spec. The daggers each have an average strike power of 200. Let’s also assume that I have spec’d with the build linked here, which is one of the most popular builds in the game [http://www.wowarmory.com/talent-calc.xml?cid=4&tal=00532300535010052010333105100500500500300000000000000000020000000000000000000000000]. Let’s also assume that I have Glyph of Hunger for Blood giving me a 3% boost. With Dual Wield Specialization, and assuming both daggers with strike for 200 damage, I will do baseline 350 damage. Taking into account my critical hit chance of 33% plus the 33% bonus because of my talents, I can safely assume that 2/3 of all Mutilates will be critical strikes. This bumps the damage up to 700. Now I begin to factor in the talent bonuses for damage at 80. What I get is this:
  
−  
−
((((((200 + 150) (2) (1.2) + 228) 1.2) 1.3) 1.04) 1.06) 1.08) = 1983.62 damage
  
−  
−
That isn’t a lot for a rogue because the weapon is weak, but what if I apply the same formula to someone equipped with 2 [[Heaven's Fall, Kryss of a Thousand Lies]] with a damage range of 381 – 572? I get this:
  
−  
−
((((((572 + 286) (2) (1.2) + 228) 1.2) 1.3) 1.04) 1.06) 1.08) = 4248.07 damage
  
−  
−
That is currently the maximum unbuffed potential of Mutilate. This also is entirely independent from the damage caused by poisons and by other moves. This is simply a demonstration of Mutilate’s potential

Description

Tarecgosa is bound to you, <name>, but only temporarily. An aspect's power is required to permanently seal her essence.

Malygos's successor will not be chosen until Azeroth's moons next eclipse, and the bond you share will not last until then.

Fortunately, there is a way to buy us the time we need. Powerful elements exist that can extend the ritual's effects. Some of these can be found in the Plane of Fire, with which you've become familiar.

Obtain them, <class>, and sustain Tarecgosa until the eclipse.
