YOUR NEXT POINT
At level 10: standard route 1/21; illustrative maximum advance 6/21 points.
1 point · 0/1/0
One point per level from 10 is a planner assumption. Step order is derived from the published allocation, checked for legal prerequisites. The Blizzard Legacy announcement confirms only that Talented can unlock points up to five levels early. Using it requires earned Legacy points and a per-character choice. Blizzard does not confirm the exact schedule or current Beta availability. This comparison does not model points beyond this published route.
Improved Sinister Strike1/2Loads these exact points in the calculator’s Level 30 budget. The modeled timing does not change its point cap or verify early access in the live Beta.
THE COMPLETE ROUTE
Level labels assume one point per level from 10. The order is a planning example, not a verified Beta unlock schedule or performance recommendation.
Editable editorial routes · Source limits remain visible · No simulated performance scores
Improved Sinister Strike 2/2 and Improved Eviscerate 3/3 form the first five points. Precision 3/3 and Deflection 2/3 complete ten; the first Endurance rank is the eleven-point stage. Endurance 2/2, Improved Sprint 2/2 and Lightning Reflexes 1/5 reach fifteen. Dual Wield Specialization 3/5 and Improved Kick 2/2 lead to Blade Flurry at twenty-one.
The allocation reserves points for movement and interrupts, leaving off-hand damage at three of five ranks. Blade Flurry can strike another nearby opponent, so an agreed control target matters. Deflection is partial and Riposte is unselected.
Keep weapon quality and the tank target fixed. Record misses, successful Kicks, movement losses, cooldown recovery and whether Blade Flurry hits an unintended controlled enemy.
Use the progression to inspect each point from Level 10 to 30. The calculator opens the exact allocation and level. These routes are examples for comparing choices, not a measured damage ranking.
Reviewed Rogue snapshot: 53 visible nodes from Wago client build 1.60.1.70291, reconciled against Talents Forever. All 139 rank descriptions are adapted from Talents Forever (CC BY 4.0, https://talentsforever.com), with community verification. The export resolves tooltip values at Level 60; it does not rescale them to the selected level or simulate damage. Level 30 examples spend 21 points; the existing Level 20 page uses eleven-point stages of this reviewed tree. One point per level from 10, five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the editorial point order remain derived planning assumptions. Original 69913 saves remain historical records and are not partially migrated into a changed allocation.
Official Beta announcement · Blizzard’s October 1 development notes
Expose Armor missing no longer removes all combo points.
Subtlety Setup now adds combo points to the current target only when that same target caused the dodge or spell resist.
These are gameplay fixes, not an announced new talent tree.
The live Beta level cap is 30. The talent structure was reconciled through 1.60.1.70291; 21-point Level 30 routes are editorial allocations. Rank descriptions retain their separate community transcription evidence, and point-order rules remain derived assumptions.
Keep the test conditions stable while you edit.
Subtlety is the control-oriented testing route here. Plan how to enter and leave an engagement before spending on damage. An opener that works on an isolated target may fail when another player joins; record escape opportunities as well as damage.
Improved Sinister Strike → Improved Eviscerate
Track miss frequency, incoming damage and downtime across equivalent enemies rather than one critical strike.
