Assassination Rogue

Complete Assassination Rogue guide for Legion Remix. Learn optimal artifact paths, poison builds, stat priorities, and strategies for maximizing DoT damage in all content.

Best Artifact Path: Fel Path

Twisted Crusade

Pure damage output with aggressive burst windows

Calls in a subjugated Dreadlord that rains meteor fire and can be detonated for a Felspike nova.

Mechanics:

  • Fel Touched stacks blow up every four seconds, rewarding sustained cleave
  • Touch of Malice guarantees Twisted Crusade crits and spreads Fel Touched faster
  • I Am My Scars reflects enemy hits for Chaos damage, ideal for tanks and soloing
  • Felspike replaces Twisted Crusade after cast, letting you sacrifice the Dreadlord for massive AoE

Best For:

Single-target boss encountersRaid contentCleave and AoE damage when packs survive for Fel explosionsMax-level DPS optimization and tank threat bursts
