i do all this at ilvl 648 and im only pulling 17.5k dps well everything except using draenic agility potion and i use anticipation

so if i change those 2 things will my dps spike 4 or 5k? lol idk why mines so low i do rotation right i keep everything up and still shit


Anticipation is useless for sub spec!

It's only good for Assasination, because Multistrike gives double combopoints and break the 5 limit often.

Combat is also very good - What talents and how is your rotation?

Shadow Focus
Combat Readiness (Nerve Strike if adds)
Elusiveness
Shadowstep
Prey on the Weak
Marked for Death
Venom Rush


Ambush out of stealth
RS up at all times
SS for CP

SnD up all the time
Eviscerate at 5 CP

Killing Spree whenever it's up
AR to "cut the CD" of KS down (Relentless Strikes i think it is?)
MfD


Pretty sure I"m playing it right. I just don't feel too strong on fights without more than 1 target. (Karg if I don't go in the stands, Butcher, etc.)

Why Venom rush?
With shadow reflection you can Vanish premed + ambush, 5combo point evis and killing spree, so the shadow will do the same

I'm similar ilvl on my rogue but ~1k less dps average. I stack mastery and multistrike because those are currently the best for sub. I think it's multi>=mastery>crit>>haste.

I can look up stat weights in a bit. Once I get the ilvl 660 pvp daggers, I expect a big spike in my dps.

Are the pvp daggers good for PVE ? I havn't thought about grinding that.

Yea, it's huge upgrade over the 630 daggers from heroics and the highmaul daggers don't have the best stats anyways. I don't have time to raid the next few weeks, but I can logg on and pvp for an hour or so a week and get my daggers np.

ilvl 645 sub rogue here with 23-26k dps after boss is dead

45-55k dps first 30 sec.

all single target.

Useful talents:
Shadow focus ( free ambush )
Shadowstep ( get in position after knockback etc to keep uptime dps )
Mark for death ( I'll explain why )
Shadow reflection ( that's why )

Before boss starts, you will have 5 combo points ready up if there's a kind healer to do a hot on someone. ( Honor Among Thieves )

You start out with 5 combo Slice N Dice
Ambush , hemo, 5 combo point Rupture
wait for ~70 energy and then a proc trinket should be triggered by now. If you have an on use trinket use it in this macro:
( trick of the trade on tank before doing any of this )

Code
#showtooltip Shadow Dance
/cast Shadow Reflection
/cast Shadow Dance
/cast "trinket if have any"
/use Draenic Agility Potion


Then you have 8 secounds to do as much damage as possible, so the reflection can do the exact same afterwards leaveing you with a HUGE burst
you do this:
Ambush Ambush 5 combo point evis
Ambush Premeditation 5 combo point evis
Mark for death + 5 combo point evis

Code
#showtooltip Marked For Death
/cast Marked for Death
/cast Eviscerate


And then you go back to keeping up Hemo, rupture and slice n dice.
Use vanish to get a free ambush and refresh the 10 sec damage buff you get afterwards

Use preparation for a free vanish + ambush

( use it when premeditation is ready )

If there's 10 sec left cooldown on shadow reflection and shadow dance is ready... wait those 10 sec and combo them together...

have fun


Thanks a bunch for the detailed rotation.

I'm at ilvl 641, and was only pulling 13-15k dps.

After following your rotation, I consistently pull at least 17-18k dps, and regularly pull over 20k on non-movemet related fights.

My biggest problem was that I kept trying to keep rupture up, and never really used premed / vanish cds.

Now I just need to work on my movement dps, and sustained dps. After I pop all my cds, I end up dropping quite a bit, heh.
