What does a rogue need to spec in order to make hard hitting abilities?
Rogues used to pack the highest damage skills, but right now nothing feels impactful at all.
And then I see a warrior rushing me, killing me in 2-3 seconds.
I check the log and see Mortal strikes for 70k, 150k, and so on…
I know that mortal strikes isnt much more than one button press,
and In a whirlwind they are even free.
Can rogue even come close to those numbers?
I heard of secret technique but it seems as if it is the usual sub-style requiring overlaps of 500 buffs in order to work…
Some fellow said we could pretty much kill anything in one stun,
but i have never even come close to that vs anyone with full health.
Even with all my offensive cooldowns popped.
I am obviously doing something wrong…
So tired of being a dps with no dps… what can be done?
Well, like a month ago I remember being a sub rogue using shadow dance, gouge(requires moving in front of the enemy), cheap shot, symbols of death, shadowblades, shadowstrike, which made cold blood+echoing reprimand crit for something like 150-200k, not including the damage of all the abilities above. I’m toootally sure that’s nerfed though in one way or another.
Haven’t played in a while and the outlaw nerf put me off logging on my rogue at all but feel free to check it on a dummy

If that combo works for ya then I’m really happy for you. If not then chances are it was hella nerfed in the past month, which it likely was. Also I may or may not have messed up the order, excuse me, it really has been a whole month
The way you kill someone in 1-2 stuns as an Assassination Rogue, is by a heavy bleed talent build, and then open by
Garrote → Mutilate → Shiv → Rupture → Deathmark → Marked for Death → Kidney Shot → Exsanguinate → Smoke (Stop healers targeting) → Shiv (Heal Reduction + improved bleed damage) then mutilate and envenom.
With this sequence, and the right talent trees, you can fire anywhere from 400-600k in a very short period of time. I use the talent that increases bleed damage by 45% for targets under 35% health. This can be very lethal.
It wont have heavy hitting crits, but you will see your opponents healthbar melt!
