Stealth control and ambush play

Why it scores this way

  • Combat lost Restless Blades, so keeping Slice and Dice up costs real talent points.
  • PvE play feels the same as Classic or duller, so raid score stays low.
  • Sap no longer sets off weapon procs, and stealth control remains a strong duel tool.
  • Cold Blood and Mutilate give Assassination heavy burst in duels.
  • Priests beat Rogues often in tournament duels, so the PvP edge is narrow.

Strong at

  • Stealth and Sap control
  • Burst openers
  • Smooth energy regen

Weak at

  • Energy-starved PvE
  • Dull rotation
  • Beaten by Priests
