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 (in client data or one guide only)
  2. Adrenaline Rush with Blade Flurry and on-use trinkets. Unconfirmed (in client data or one guide only)
  3. Blade Flurry on cooldown on bosses and whenever two targets stand together. Unconfirmed (in client data or one guide only)
  4. Riposte after a parry. Unconfirmed (in client data or one guide only)
  5. Eviscerate at 5 points when Slice and Dice has time left. Unconfirmed (in client data or one guide only)
  6. Sinister Strike to build. Unconfirmed (in client data or one guide only)

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

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.
