ROGUE / PLANNING QUESTION

Can the opener survive the whole fight?

Choose a route to test.

  1. 01
    Opening position

    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.

  2. 02
    Combo-point cycle

    Improved Sinister Strike → Improved Eviscerate

  3. 03
    Recovery

    Plan around Energy, combo points and the opening attack. Combat, Assassination and Subtlety make different trade-offs between repeatable melee attacks, finishers and stealth setup.

BLIZZARD OCTOBER 1 NOTESOfficial

October 1 Beta changes for Rogue

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.

Choose your Rogue route

Compare Assassination, Combat, Subtlety using the reviewed 1.60.1.70291 talent snapshot. Each full editorial route spends 21 points at Level 30; the retained Level 20 page compares eleven-point stages of the same current tree. Rank effects and the chosen point order are separate evidence; no simulation establishes a best route.

The three specialization endpoints spend 21 points at Level 30. Their selected ranks and point order are editorial examples, separate from client-derived talent facts.

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.
