Assassination Rogue · Raid

Curated for raid DPS — Deathmark aligned with Bloodlust, maintaining Garrote and Rupture on priority targets through the full cooldown window, and Kingsbane stack management for Deathstalker builds. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.

Talent Builds

Using this build

Fatebound Raid

Fatebound

Primary recommended raid build using Fatebound — Caustic Spatter and Fate Intertwined provide consistent multi-target damage amplification across cleave and sustained boss encounters.

Deathstalker Raid

Deathstalker

Raid build using Deathstalker — Kingsbane stacks through the Deathmark window for amplified burst on priority targets. Pulls ahead on single-target bosses where sustained poison damage dominates.

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.

Boss timers

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

Boss timers and mechanic alerts so you know when forced movement will interrupt your bleed ramp. Delay Deathmark by a few seconds to avoid starting the window right before a mechanic pulls you out of melee.

Advanced Ground effect alerts

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Assassination Rogue, melee range means you're in the thick of boss hitboxes and ground effects — the audio alarm is your early warning to reposition without breaking your bleed application mid-GCD. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Damage meters

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.

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.

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.

Action bars

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.

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.
