Combat Rogue rotation guide & helper
Play Combat Rogue like a skilled player: the current priority, cooldowns that line up, AoE when it pays and kicks on the casts that matter.
Guide
How Combat plays.
Build combo points with Sinister Strike, spend them at five. Riposte goes out every time it lights up after a parry, and Shank gives energy back when you run low. The guides level every rogue as Combat, and the helper follows the guide's level 1-60 order: lines for spells you don't have yet are skipped.
From level 42
- Riposte when it lights up.
- Slice and Dice kept up with 2+ combo points.
- Shank when your energy is low.
- Sinister Strike, finishers at five points.
Packs and cooldowns
- Blade Flurry with 2 or more mobs (the number is yours to change).
- Adrenaline Rush on mobs that live long enough.
- Cold Blood right before a full Eviscerate.
- Rupture on long fights and Expose Armor in groups are switches.
Good to know
- Low mobs: finish below 20% health with 3 points, and no builders on a mob that dies within a second - combo points die with it, energy carries over.
- Backstab only when the mob isn't attacking you, so you're behind it.
- Evasion at low health, Kick on casts that matter, Gouge / Kidney Shot / Blind for crowd control. Vanish always stays yours.
- Poisons go on your weapons out of combat.
What it does for you
Built for Combat.
Cooldowns that line up
Your Combat cooldowns go when the priority says so, not when a timer runs out.
AoE when it pays
Area spells only once enough enemies are around you. You pick the number.
Kicks and stuns
Interrupts on the casts that matter, and no wasted casts on mobs that are immune.
The right spell rank
Highest, smart or a fixed rank for every spell, so you never waste mana.
Immunity learning
It learns which mobs shrug off your spells and stops casting them there.
You stay in control
Every spell, threshold and line of the priority is yours to change. One switch turns it off.
In the rotation
Combat spells it uses.
Lines for spells you don't have are skipped, so it follows your talents.
