How you play Assassination Rogue

Poison and bleed the enemy, then finish with Envenom for a big poison hit.

Your buttons, most important first

Every 2 minutes: Vanish, Garrote, then Deathmark and Kingsbane together. Use Kingsbane alone in between.
Keep Garrote and Rupture on the target. Cast Rupture with 5 or more Combo Points.
Mutilate to build Combo Points.
5 or more Combo Points: Envenom. Cast the next one before the last one runs out.

More enemies: Crimson Tempest until every enemy bleeds, then Fan of Knives instead of Mutilate.

Biggest mistake: Letting Garrote or Rupture run out: a big part of your damage stops with them.

Hero talents

Deathstalker: Garrote puts your mark on the target. When Darkest Night lights up, Envenom at 7 Combo Points.

Fatebound: nothing extra to press. Your finishers flip coins on their own; just play the normal buttons.
