Whats new with the rogue?Follow
It's been about a year or so since I played WoW, last time I played Naxx 25 man in WotLK was the big raid that was out. Assassination and HAT spec was the best DPS build, so whats new with rogue? Mutilate still the best DPS build? Any new rotations? Poisons? I would search through the stickies, but I live in Maryland and we are getting slammed with snow and the power is out lol! and I am typing this on my phone, taking awhile to load them up.
Mut and Combat are closer now than they were before in terms of dps. Depending on if it's multi or single target dps. I don't know much about the assass tree as I'm combat.
A lot of combat specs are ruptureless now so it's pretty much just snd and evis. But it gives me more of a chance to focus on my tricks cd and my blade flurry > Adren rush > Killing Spree combo as well.
There's something about poisons... I just don't remember what

ROGUES CAN USE AXES NOW.
Poisons have been completely overhauled, have a look over the higher tier mutilate abilities, they did some big changes to master poisoner in particular since you last played.
Also, rogues can now fly without mounts and attack in midair. Ok not really, but I keep hoping.

Don't use AR+KS in any kind of combo. AR continues giving you energy during KS, and you can't spend energy during KS so its wasted AR time. AR+BF or KS+BF are fine though.

While Deadly Poison has 5 stacks up on the boss, any Deadly Poison proc will cause your other hands poison to proc, as well as refresh your DP stack. In other words, 30%+ of a rogues damage comes from poisons now.

All specs are ruptureless now, Muti is Envenom spam and Combat is SnD/Evis spam. Surprisingly Combat is now the harder of the two specs. Although calling either one hard is a blatant lie.

Master Poisoner causes Envenom to not consume Deadly Poison stacks. Add this to what I said about poisons above and you get absurd poisons damage.

And in fact Hack n Slash spec(Swords/Axes) is the preferred Combat spec.

Maybe you can't...
That was a typo on my part on the AR > KS thing.
