Rogue Assassination PvE: BiS list
Level 30 (beta)The best gear for a level 30 Rogue in the WoW Forever beta, slot by slot, with stats and a source for every item. Assassination PvE list: Daggers in both hands: Mutilate needs them and strikes with both, so the off hand matters more than for Combat. Then Agility, then hit ahead of crit.
- Combat PvE
- Assassination PvE
- Subtlety PvP (Dagger)
- Subtlety PvP (Hemorrhage)
List for Horde
- Silent Hunter is listed for Main Hand and Off Hand, but it's a one-time quest reward. Use the next-best alternative for Off Hand.
The list itself stays as is, so you can still see the strongest item for each slot.
