We never really become useless, but Combat begins out-scaling us starting with the next phase (Ulduar), and the gap only gets bigger with every phase. The biggest drawback of the Assassination specialization is that it’s seen as a “temporary” spec, so to speak. The addition of Fan of Knives makes our AoE top-tier as well, but unfortunately we do lack slightly in the cleave-department, as Death Knights will typically be beating you in fights with 2-3 targets. This causes them to be more or less unaffected by the scarcity of the armor penetration stat on Phase 1 equipment.Īssassination Rogues lack the utility that many other specs bring, but we more than make up for this deficiency with raw damage - particularly in single target fights, where Assassination Rogues will typically be topping meters. The reasons are clear: a very big percentage of an Assassination Rogue’s damage comes from poison effects ( Deadly Poison, Envenom), and thus bypasses our enemies’ armor. In the first phase of the Wrath of the Lich King, Assassination Rogues find themselves among the top spots of the DPS charts, commonly considered to be the single best damage-dealing spec.
These specializations are usually recruited in larger numbers due to their outstanding performance. The S-Tier represents the most powerful classes in the current meta – those with the highest damage and utility. Fire Mages and Fury Warriors for instance will have to wait a while for their turn to shine in the spotlight, as they lack the stats they need in order to succeed, such as crit and armor penetration. This includes such specs as Assassination Rogues and Survival Hunters they do really well in this phase, but fall off once armor penetration becomes more common.įurthermore, DPS specs that have good scaling but low base damage will unfortunately be at their worst during this phase. This means that physical DPS specs that inherently also deal magic damage have a major advantage in this phase, as their damage bypasses armor. Our equipment is at its weakest point in Phase 1, and that has major implications on the meta.įor example, armor penetration is very rare in Phase 1 gear.
