Combat Rogue: Rotation

Client build 1.60.1.70425 · updated

The Combat priorities, top to bottom: use the first one that applies.

Level 40–60 (projected)

  1. Slice and Dice first priority. Unconfirmed
  2. Adrenaline Rush with Blade Flurry and on-use trinkets. Unconfirmed
  3. Blade Flurry on cooldown on bosses and whenever two targets stand together. Unconfirmed
  4. Riposte after a parry. Unconfirmed
  5. Eviscerate at 5 points when Slice and Dice has time left. Unconfirmed
  6. Sinister Strike to build. Unconfirmed

Two or more targets

  1. Blade Flurry first: every swing and strike hits one more nearby enemy for 15 seconds.
  2. Slice and Dice more attack speed means more cleave.
  3. Sinister Strike on the target you want dead first.
  4. Eviscerate on the main target; the cleave carries it to the second.

Cooldowns and emergencies

  • Adrenaline Rush from 40, 5-minute cooldown: double energy for 15 seconds.
  • Kick every dangerous cast; Improved Kick adds a 2-second silence.
  • Gouge to stop a cast while Kick recharges, or to bandage.
  • Evasion Endurance cuts its cooldown by 60%, so use it on every bad pull.
  • Sprint to reach a runner or escape; Improved Sprint breaks snares.
  • Vanish the last resort; drops you out of combat.

While leveling

  1. Instant Poison on both weapons.
  2. Slice and Dice kept up whenever the target will live long enough.
  3. Blade Flurry from 30, early and often: on cooldown with two targets, and on bosses.
  4. Riposte whenever it lights up after a parry.
  5. Eviscerate at 5 points if it won't delay Slice and Dice.
  6. Sinister Strike your builder; Backstab instead with a dagger from behind.
