Stat Priorities
Stat Ranking
In all content, Assassination Rogues will want to focus on:
Critical Strike >= Haste >= Mastery > Versatility
Stat Outline
Critical Strike increases our combo point generation through Seal Fate, as well as our energy through Dashing Scoundrel.
Mastery is a simple overall damage buff to the vast majority of our skills.
Haste increases energy regen and causes dots to tick faster.
Versatility is a flat damage increase to your entire character, but weaker than Mastery.
Races
Races can honestly be picked on Aesthetics more than their output. If you must min-max, Mag’har Orc on Horde and Night Elf on Alliance are popular options due to their racial abilities buffing our Deathmark, or Shadow Meld being useful to cheese and immune certain mechanics, especially in Mythic+.
