Assassination Rogue rotation assistant for World of Warcraft
Snapshots respected, Kingsbane windows honored, Venomous Wounds never dropped for a reposition.
Rice Rotations reads your Assassination Rogue from the game picture, decides which ability comes next, and presses the key for it from a second PC or a virtual machine. It runs on World of Warcraft Midnight retail and on Mists of Pandaria Classic, and the profile is included in the same subscription as the other thirty-nine specializations.
How the Assassination Rogue profile plays
Assassination is a bleed and poison spec. Rice keeps Garrote and Rupture from expiring, keeps the poisons applied, pools energy instead of dumping it before a refresh, and spends combo points on Envenom at the right count rather than at the first opportunity.
DPS is about never wasting a global. Rice keeps your builder and spender priority correct through procs and haste changes, lines burst cooldowns up with the window they are meant for, and switches to the multi-target priority when the pull is actually stacked rather than when a timer says so.
The profile reacts to the pull instead of replaying a fixed list: interrupts fire on casts that matter, dispels go out when a debuff lands, and cooldowns are held for the burst window rather than used the moment they come up. Dozens of Assassination Rogue settings decide how aggressive or how conservative that behaviour is, so a raid night and a Mythic+ push can use different profiles of the same spec.
Cooldowns and burst windows
Deathmark and Kingsbane are opened with bleeds already up and energy pooled so the window multiplies what is there. Shiv is used where it does work rather than pressed on cooldown.
What the Assassination Rogue rotation handles
- Garrote and Rupture uptime, poisons kept applied
- Energy pooled ahead of refreshes and windows
- Deathmark and Kingsbane opened onto live bleeds
- Kick on interrupts, Crimson Vial, Feint and Cloak of Shadows on damage
Raid, Mythic+ and the rest
Raid single target protects bleed uptime above all. In Mythic+ it moves to Crimson Tempest and spread bleeds on the pack, and holds the long cooldowns for the pull that is worth them.
Raid nights, Mythic+ keystones, delves, world content and levelling alts. Rice Rotations is built and tuned for PvE, so there are no arena or battleground profiles. The desktop client is Windows only.
Setup and safety
Nothing is attached to the game: there is no injection, no memory reading and no unlocker. Rice runs on a second PC or a virtual machine, reads your gaming PC as a video stream and sends keystrokes back, so the machine running World of Warcraft only ever sees keyboard input arriving.
- Built and tuned for PvE. No arena or battleground profiles.
- Midnight retail is supported.
- Classic is Mists of Pandaria only, so no Era, no Wrath, no other ruleset.
Assassination Rogue questions
- Does it clip bleeds?
- Refreshes happen inside the window where they are not wasted, so uptime stays high without throwing away duration.
- Does it handle energy pooling?
- Yes, it pools ahead of refreshes and cooldowns rather than spending every global, which is what keeps the bleed cycle clean.
