Leveling Rotation for Subtlety Rogue
When using our slider, note that some talents may appear sooner than you expect them to in the rotation. This is because we have two recommended builds above, each taking talents at slightly different times, and sometimes entirely different talents.
- Use 4+ Combo Points to keep up Slice and Dice at all times. After you unlock Premeditation you barely need to cast it yourself.
- Make sure you always have Instant Poison buff applied.
- Cast Eviscerate to spend your Combo Points when fighting a single enemy.
- Cast Black Powder to spend your Combo Points when fighting 3+ enemies.
- Cast Backstab to generate Combo Points when fighting a single enemy. If you are in Stealth or have Shadow Dance active use Shadowstrike instead.
- Cast Shuriken Storm to generate Combo Points when fighting 2+ enemies.
- Use Shadow Blades either on cooldown or save it for elite enemies.
- Cast Shadow Dance as a DPS cooldown as often as possible.
- Cast Secret Technique to spend your Combo Points on cooldown.
- Cast Symbols of Death as a DPS cooldown as often as possible.
