Assassination Rogue Mythic+ Guide

• Much like in the Deathstalker tree, every 5 Combo Point or more finisher that you use has a chance to flip a coin.
  • Landing on Fatebound Coin (Heads) increases your damage by 10%. Additional flips landing on Fatebound Coin (Heads) increase damage by 2%. Stacking
  • Landing on Fatebound Coin (Tails) does Cosmic damage. Additional flips increase Fatebound Coin (Tails) damage by 10%. Stacking
• Fateful Ending
  • Very strong stat buff that you want to get as soon as possible in a fight.

Neither of these flips offer much in terms of gameplay, and you could do without tracking any of them, but there is some minmaxing you can do with the talents in the Fatebound tree.

• Inevitability.
  • This could in theory make you hit your Fateful Ending earlier by using Cold Blood when you are at 5 stacks of Fatebound Coin (Heads) or Fatebound Coin (Tails). More on this in the Deep Dive section.
• Double Jeopardy.
  • Rolling double of the same coin when you break Stealth or Vanish. Can be used in combination with Inevitability.
• Edge Case.
  • Rolling both flips for the next finisher can be pretty useful to get closer to your Fateful Ending capstone.
• Fate Intertwined
  • This is a pretty bad talent if the adds are not important damage, but decent otherwise.
• Delivered Doom
  • Similar to Fate Intertwined, Fatebound Coin (Tails) does less damage if there are mobs nearby, or 30% more with no mobs, if you prefer to read it that way.

Opener

• Your goal is to keep Envenom and Shiv up for the entire duration of your cooldowns. Below, you see an example of how your opener looks when using the recommended Single Target talent spec

• If you are playing with Lightweight Shiv, Shiv after your Deathmark instead of Mutilate.
• If you are playing Treacherous Transmitter, try to fit it in a few globals before your Deathmark, and depending on what you got, pick up the buff right after your Deathmark, around the time when you apply Shiv or Kingsbane.
• If you play an on use trinket such as Skardyn's Grace, simply use it before your first Envenom with your Tempered Potion.

Priority List

This is a general priority you aim to maintain throughout the fight.

• Keep up Rupture and Garrote throughout the fight.
  • Do not overwrite your Improved Garrote and instead apply Garrote as soon as the buffed one expires.
• Use Cold Blood on Cooldown if talented outside of your opener.
• Only use Shiv during your Kingsbane.
• Be ready to use your Vanish to apply Garrote, Deathmark and Kingsbane as soon as they come off cooldown, start preparing for them once they have approximately 8 seconds remaining on their cooldown.
• Press Mutilate if not at 5 or more Combo Points.

Opener

• In your opener, your goal is to DoT up every mob with your Rupture and Garrote for the duration of your Indiscriminate Carnage, and then set up a Crimson Tempest that ideally hits every target, before going into a Mutilate to proc your Caustic Spatter and start your normal opener.

• If there are more mobs without your Garrote on them, keep using Garrote over any other builder during your Indiscriminate Carnage window.
• Ideally your main target gets 23~ sec Garrote before your pop.
• If you are playing Treacherous Transmitter, try to fit it in a few globals before your Deathmark, and depending on what you got, pick up the buff right after your Deathmark, around the time when you apply Shiv or Kingsbane.
• If you play an on use trinket such as Skardyn's Grace, simply use it before your first Envenom with your Tempered Potion.

Priority List

1. Spread your Garrote and Rupture on all mobs through the Indiscriminate Carnage window.
2. Use Crimson Tempest on 2 targets or more.
3. Mutilate to apply Caustic Spatter.
4. Keep up Rupture and Garrote throughout the fight on all enemies that are going to live its duration.Rupture has priority, Garrote outside of Indiscriminate Carnage is almost never worth it in AoE.
5. Use Fan of Knives as your builder on 3 targets or more, and only Mutilate to refresh Caustic Spatter.
6. Use Envenom if every DoT is up.

• Soak the dark orbs so that they don't heal the boss.

Izo, the Grand Splicer

• Using your Vanish on the Umbral Weave root is decent as you get to multi-dot the remaining of them if the rest of the group hasn't cleared them.
• Use your defensives for Splice since it's the highest damage event during this fight.

You can also just shift your Cloak of Shadows use to when you have Cooldowns running so that you don't waste energy and a global on Feint.

  • Web Bolt from Sureki Silkbinder.
  • Grimweave Blast from Covert Webmancer.

• You can make sure of your Cloak of Shadows on Volatile Spike on the floor if you haven't cleared them all and the boss is casting Earth Shatterer.

• Use your Feint before Unstable Crash happens or while you have multiple stacks of Unstable Energy.
• Make sure to pick up the orbs so that you can damage the shield during Void Discharge.
• Void Discharge is the best time to use your Cloak of Shadows, or alternative use your Feint to mitigate its damage.

• Lava Expulsion hitbox is pretty big, make sure you are not in the way and dont stand too close to the boss.
• Kick Molten Metal.
• Use your Feint Exhaust Vents and Blazing Crescendo.

Void Speaker Eirich

• You might want to delay your cooldowns a bit until after you've dropped off your debuff near a portal, then Shadowstep on the boss to use them.

Anub'ikkaj

• Move in a way so that Dark Orb has a long travel distance and doesn't instantly hit a wall. Regardless, make use of your Feint when it explodes as it still deals significant damage.
• Use your Feint for the Shadowy Decay channel.

Rasha'nan

• When you get targeted by Rolling Acid, check where the beam is going towards and place it so that you don't hit any of your party members.
  • The side that the beam will shoot towards is the side your line is on.
  • In Phase 2 the beam removes the Spinneret's Strands and creates smaller green pools on the floor, so be mindful of that.

• Ideally use your Feint on Repulsive Visage or Evasion so that you take minimal damage during it.
• Always try to proc Darkest Night when Droman Oulfarran is nearing 25%~, then keep it while dotting up the boss, otherwise you are going to lose your Deathstalker's Mark.
• Pre-Apply your bleeds and try to line up your cooldowns with Droman Oulfarran's Droman's Wrath to gain a huge DPS boost. This happens when Droman Oulfarran reaches 20% health.

Mistcaller

• Blind the Illusionary Vulpins to prevent them from reaching their target.
  • If your group is not crowd-controlling the Illusionary Vulpins use Crippling Poison for this fight and try to multi-dot them with Vanish.

• Use your Feint or Cloak of Shadows during the Guessing Game.
  • While you are moving towards the add that needs to die, make sure to watch the boss for the lines as they can be very deadly if you get hit by multiple, and its easy forget about them with the boss at the opposite side of the room.

Tred'ova

• You can try to stay on your tank to minimize movement on this fight. Generally, the boss's hitbox is very small and you want to minimize the amount of spread from Acid Expulsion.
• With Mind Link being always on tank now, try to look for the timer and spread out before it happens.
• Multidot the adds as they come closer, you can save your Vanish for that point.

Boss Tips

Blightbone

• Evasion if you're targeted by Heaving Retch. Feint if you do not have it.

• Use Crippling Poison on the worms if your group doesn't have anything better to deal with them and try to avoid them as much as possible.
  • You can save your Vanish for the adds to kill them quicker. Use it on a harder wave.

Amarth, The Harvester

• Iron Wire is pretty strong the adds, and generally using a Vanish when they spawn will make killing the wave much easier.
• Try to use your Shadowstep to Kick the Reanimated Mage adds that are far away, its very important that you get them close to the boss quickly.

Surgeon Stitchflesh

• Save your cooldowns for when you hook Surgeon Stitchflesh down.
  • Ideally you proc a Darkest Night on the add before Surgeon Stitchflesh comes down to not lose your Deathstalker's Mark. If you have Vanish free, you can also just Ambush instead and then Apply the buffed Garrote.

Nalthor the Rimebinder

• This is one of the hardest bosses to keep your Deathstalker's Mark on since you get sent down so fast. You could look at the timer and wait with your Darkest Night a bit. Otherwise if you end up losing your Deathstalker's Mark, just use your Vanish on the boss when you get back up.
