Mutilate Build for WoW Rogue's Assassination

1. Dual Wield Specialization : While this talent is from the Combat school, it is essential. Maxed out, it increases the damage of your off-hand weapon by 50%. Since you’re using two daggers, it’s needed to keep maximum DPS possible for your off-hand.

2. Hunger for Blood : This ability enrages you, increasing all damage caused by 15%. However, it does require a bleed effect on the target for it to work. Therefore, make sure you open up with a nice Garrote or a similar attack. This ability lasts for 1 minute. Never let this one drop during combat. Extra damage is extra damage is awesomeness!

3. Improved Poisons : Another essential talent, Improved Poisons increases your chance to apply deadly poisons to an enemy by up to 10% (if maxed out) and the frequency for instant poisons by 50%. Since you need a poisoned enemy for this spec to succeed, this talent is a no-brainer.

4. Master Poisoner : This ability increases the critical chance of all attacks made against any target you have poisoned by up to 3% (maxed out), whilst reducing the duration of Poison effects upon you by 50% (maxed), and increases the bonus chance to apply Deadly Poison when using Envenom by an extra 45% (maxed). Extra poison plus extra crit chance = dead enemies .

5. Mutilate : Not too surprising, eh? This talent is the main focus of the build. Mutilate instantly attacks with both hands (daggers) for additional damage, based upon rank, with both weapons. Poisoned targets take an additional 20% damage, and this attack awards two combo points. With a poisoned enemy, damage is greatly increased, and the combo points can quickly build up so you can then use Envenom.

6. Vile Poisons : This talent increases the damage of your poisons and Envenom ability by up to 20% and gives your damage over time poisons a 30% chance to resist dispel effects. Again, this one is a no-brainer. Envenom is your main finisher and everything revolves around a poisoned enemy, so increasing your poison damage and keeping the poison on your foe is essential.
