Client data and build assumptions

Client-table preview: positions, rank caps and spell IDs are checked against build 1.60.1.69913. These readable tables may retain legacy layout. Five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the 11-point Level 20 budget are planning assumptions, not proof of final live Beta rules. Missing rank text stays unknown.

Critical strikes and finishing moves

Malice anchors the opening tier. Ruthlessness and Improved Slice and Dice then build a finisher-focused route before Relentless Strikes becomes the eleven-point endpoint.
Compare several complete combo-point cycles, keeping weapon, target level and finishing move consistent.

Why these Assassination talents

Malice anchors the opening tier. Ruthlessness and Improved Slice and Dice then build a finisher-focused route before Relentless Strikes becomes the eleven-point endpoint.

It gives up early Combat hit support and the Subtlety stealth package. A strong opener alone is not a fair test of this route.

Exact point order

Malice 5 → Ruthlessness 3 → Improved Slice and Dice 2 → Relentless Strikes 1

Load the allocation to inspect each selected talent. The order and spend are editorial; readable client fields do not prove that the route is optimal.

How to evaluate this route

Compare several complete combo-point cycles, keeping weapon, target level and finishing move consistent.

This route spends on the repeated combo-point cycle. Test it on enemies that survive long enough for a finishing move; very short pulls may conceal the value of the later investment.
