Assassination Rogue Midnight Gearing Guide

Midnight Season 1 Tier Set Bonuses:

• (2) Set Bonus: Garrote's damage is increased by 30% and it also applies your weapon poisons.

Tier Set Discussion:

Assassination’s Season 1 Tier Set Bonus is all about Garrote and Generator Damage. It doesn’t provide any additional Rotational gameplay or min-maxing, but it does have a decent impact in both single-target and AoE when spreading Garrote with Crimson Tempest.

You should still prioritise the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Assassination Rogue, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

The best trinkets for Assassination Rogue are as follows:

1. Gaze Of The Alnseer
2. Algeth'ar Puzzle Box
3. Radiant Plume / Umbral Plume
4. Solarflare Prism

Algeth'ar Puzzle Box is however a VERY annoying trinket to use due to its forced 2 second channel. Luckily however, the Radiant Plume and Umbral Plume trinkets, as well as Solarflare Prism, are very good alternatives and can actually take the place of the Algeth'ar Puzzle Box, letting players have a good alternative.

Assassination Rogues will want to craft two pieces of gear for their embellishments, and thereafter have no other crafting requirements. Crests and Sparks can be used as needed to fill holes in gear if necessary.

Craft Farstrider's Mercy with Darkmoon Sigil: Hunt - Crafting a dagger, especially early in the season is a large boost in damage, and the Darkmoon Sigil is one of the best embellishments as well, making this an easy craft. Once you have a max myth-track dagger, put the crafted dagger into your offhand, where it will remain BIS.

Craft Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors with Arcanoweave Lining - Wrists are high-efficiency crafts due to their low stat value, and Arcanoweave Lining is one of the stronger embellishments.
