Which is better subtlety or assassination

Preparation is always a plus. We can control our damage burst more as subtlety with shadow dance. When an enemy has used their trinket and any other way to escape, we can drop a smoke bomb during a kidney and deal heavy damage in shadow dance to just nuke players. I'm sure others will post more information.

Post by hymer If you intend to do arenas, I agree with Meldoron's reasons for going Sub. Whispyr is a Shadow Blade in the Rogue class discord, Ravenholdt, where he spends a lot of his time helping other rogues push to their limits. He also theorycrafts and contributes to Simulationcraft, for both assassination and subtlety, and he also maintains the Wowhead guide for Assassination rogue. If you have any questions, feel free to tag Whispyr in Ravenholdt or send him a message directly on Discord.

You can find him playing on his rogue on his stream every now and again, so make sure to tune in! Not much was done to Assassination with the 9. I def am more scared of a good hunter than any melee as sub as the lock down we have and burst potential is disgusting.

Subtlety after the armor nerf had a huge uptick in kill potential especially now when people are running maledict instead of emblem. It also suffers less if peeled. If assass is peeled on its vendetta it sucks but has hemo toxin which is brutal…. Assass rogue is ridiculous. Using crit legendary and rocking Night fae covenant, while using vanish offensively…will literally kill a dude face down in the ground in seconds, without them ever knowing what is happening to them.
