I’ve looked online(wowhead,icyveins)and it seems everyone has different ideas on the best PvE rotation. I’m primarily talking about open world/questing, not necessarily dungeons or raiding. What’s working for you guys?
Shadowstrike, Shadowstrike, Evis. Rinse and repeat
Open world you can pretty much do whatever you want. Shadowstrikes with shadow dance and symbols up will drop something down to where your eviscerate will kill them. Fights don’t last long enough for a “rotation”. If you have an elite or quest objective mob you pop your shadow blade CD and keep Slice and Dice up. Pop cloak of shadows and evasion as-needed. Crimson vial between pulls.
World pve and quest? Gather a bunch of mobs pop evasion cloak and use shrunken tornado and spam black powder.
Single target slice and dice pop symbols with dance shadows trike rupture covenant ability pot
Shadow strike shadow strike evicerate
Does it matter for open world and questing? Most things die so fast rotation doesn’t really come into play.
Hopefully this help and it’s not too late of a reply…
Seeing that you are Venythr and looking at your talents here’s what I’d recommend.
-
If you’re just talking about open world PvE, I’d be more inclined to go with Marked for Death and Nightstalker talent.
-
Because single target fights don’t last that long, I completely ignore Slice n Dice and Rupture.
-
So start off with:
-
Stealth (Use Shadow Blades & Symbols of Death when available prior to attack while stealthed. It’ll give you an extra cp)
-
Shadow Strike (awards 2 combo pts)
-
Flagellation *if at 5 cp’s, if not cast Backstab till you hit 5 cps then Flagellation
-
Eviscerate
-
Marked for Death
-
Eviscerate
Mob should be dead by now, if not…
-
Shadow Dance
-
Shadow Strike till 5 cp
-
Eviscerate
If you’re dealing with mobs that STILL are not dead, then you’ll want to add in a Slice in Dice (should be a 2- 3 cp after initial opener) Immediately after breaking stealth and instead of using your 1st 5 pt finisher as Eviscerate, use Rupture instead.
Hope that helps somewhat. I’m always learning myself, so if anyone has something to add, feel free.
I do world quests as assassination, I feel it’s faster since you don’t have to worry about dance and symbols charges to do any real damage.
Plus rupture gives energy when the target dies for sin so chain pulling is easier.
