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 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 House of Cards, simply use it before or with your Kingsbane.

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.
• Use Shiv during the last 7 seconds of your Kingsbane.
  1. Use your Shiv again as soon as it comes up, if your Kingsbane has 18 seconds or less on cooldown and you haven't used Shiv yet, save it.
• 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, unless it's a low key and they will die fast.
• 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 House of Cards, simply use it before or with your Kingsbane.

Priority List

1. Spread your Garrote and Rupture on all mobs through the Indiscriminate Carnage window.
   • Minimum of 5 Rupture to at least get max stacks of Scent of Blood.
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.
