What are the best stats to work on for Assassination PvP? Is it Versatility/Mastery, Versatility/Crit, or Versatility Haste? I always believed dagger Rogues were reliant on high crit%, but WoW seems to have changed so much I’m not sure what is the best option for PvP are any more.
Also - does Assassination Mastery increase Envenom damage?
Verse/Haste for Sin rogues
Not sure about the Enven damage - I think mastery is tied to bleeds or poisons for sin
Any reason for Haste on PvP? Rogue kills are intended for burst damage in a specific window to kill targets - I guess I don’t understand why Haste would be considered good here since you want to end the fight as long as possible which is why I see Crit to be more valuable
Well, haste for faster dot ticks which works well with venomous wounds and faster energy regeneration in general. Don’t need crit cuz if you want it, MA legendary got that covered for you. Mastery is for consistent dmg, but haste got that covered with extra benefit as mentioned.
This. Sub rogue is burst heavy with very little in the way of sustain. Sin rogue is more of a rot spec in PvP. You DoT people up and then start going through your Mut > Envenom rotation. Vendetta is your burst CD that you can use to secure kills.
Sin shines by getting people ticking, while keeping them from being fully healed. Its reliant on burst for its kills, but not for most of its damage.
It’s vers haste.
Vers is self explanatory
Haste because it leads to faster bleed ticks, lower gcd, more energy regen for more mutilate uses in burst windows
Stacking excess haste is a waste in PVP. You need just need enough haste for the spec to function.
