Took a bit longer to get around to this video than I intended, but figured I would wrap up the initial thoughts/opinions of the rogue specs finally with Assassination! Assassination hasn't received much attention on the beta, from players or developers. There has been a lot of hype surrounding both Subtlety and Outlaw, so I wanted to bring to light some things that are going on currently with the poison/bleed expert of the three. As I mention in the video, this is still beta coverage, so there is a strong likelihood we will see tuning of all the specs in the near future. I'm also by no means an Assassination rogue main, however, I have regularly used it in raiding environments and spent about 2 days worth of dungeons to try and get a good feel for it before making this video.
Honestly though, other than how slice and dice feels in heavy AoE scenarios, the spec plays pretty well overall, though slower than the other two and the AoE is definitely very lacking at the moment, unfortunately. =/ I'll be writing up some more feedback on the forums this weekend as I finish testing all the specs in raid.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, feel free to message me here or on my Twitter account for the channel @ZeraTheRedRogue.

If you liked this video or the channel in general, I'd infinitely appreciate you informing any folks you know that would like this too. You don't have to, of course, but it'd be super awesome if you did. ^^
