Talent Builds

Using this build

Fatebound Single Target

Fatebound

The core Assassination Rogue build — Fatebound hero talent with consistent Envenom amplification through Fate Intertwined and Caustic Spatter poison spread. Strong single-target and cleave damage across any content type.

Custom build

Record your own talent build alongside your addons — it's included when you share your setup. Get a talent string from the Wowhead talent calculator or export directly from the in-game talent tree (press N → share icon). Paste the URL or the raw string — both work.

Addons

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.
Meters & logs 1

Details! Damage Meter

Damage meters

345.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Per-spell breakdown across the fight — bleeds should dominate your damage split. High Envenom share means you're spending combo points before full bleed uptime; the Deathmark window contribution shows whether your burst is aligned correctly.

Nameplates

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Cast bars and bleed duration icons on enemy nameplates — see at a glance which targets have Garrote or Rupture about to fall off without tab-cycling. Also flags interruptible casts for Kick without losing your focus target.

Cooldowns & tracking 2

OmniCD

Group cooldowns

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks group cooldowns from the combat log — Bloodlust tracking is the main use for Assassination Rogue. Deathmark should always overlap with lust since every bleed and poison tick is amplified during that window.

BetterCooldownManager

Personal cooldowns

938.2K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your major cooldowns. Tracks Deathmark (3 min) and Kingsbane (30s, Deathstalker) so you can plan the burst window entry and know when both align.

BasicComboPoints

Combo points

351.8K downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 22 Apr 2026

Larger, repositionable combo point display with configurable colour and font — easier to track than the default when you're also watching bleeds and energy. Critical during Deathmark when every GCD decision depends on your current count.

Next ability highlight

5.8M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 Apr 2026

Highlights the next optimal ability based on bleed durations, combo points, and cooldown state. Most useful when learning the bleed priority order or after a patch changes the Envenom spend threshold.

Frames & Action Bars 3

BetterBlizzFrames

Unit frames

6.1M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 17 May 2026

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI intact while adding the things it lacks: castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Assassination Rogue, a target castbar tells you when a dangerous spell is being cast so you know when to Kick or use Cloak of Shadows. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Assassination Rogue, a dedicated utility bar keeps Cloak of Shadows, Evasion, Sprint, Shadowstep, Kick, and Vanish at consistent visible positions so your main bar stays focused on the bleed and Envenom rotation.

ElvUI

Advanced Unit frames

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Most of what ElvUI covers for Assassination Rogue is better handled by BetterBlizzFrames (frames), Dominos (action bars), and Platynator (nameplates). Only install if you want a fully unified UI aesthetic and are prepared for the configuration overhead.

Poisoner

Poison application

1.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

Floating button showing both weapon poisons with timers, one-click swap, and auto-restock from vendors. The expiry warning fires before the poison drops so you're never caught in a pull with uncoated weapons — losing Deadly Poison mid-Deathmark window cuts directly into your damage regardless of content.

Auto repair

Works in Midnight Updated 10 Mar 2026

Leatrix Plus is a collection of small QoL improvements: auto-repair at vendors, auto-sell grey items, remove NPC dialogue delays, block duel requests. Install once, configure in 5 minutes, and stop thinking about it.

Bagnon

Bag consolidation

159.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 5 Mar 2026

Bagnon merges all your bags into a single scrollable window with a search bar. For Assassination Rogue, quickly finding poisons, potions, and consumables without opening bag slots one at a time saves pre-pull preparation time.
