Welcome to our Assassination Rogue starter guide, which covers everything you need to start playing a new character in Shadowlands. While our other guide pages go into more individual detail, this simple starter guide covers all the basics in one place, whether you're a new Assassination Rogue, a returning player to Shadowlands, hardcore, or casual alike, it's the best place to get a beginners overview on the class. Included are basic talent builds, simplified rotations, stats, legendary recommendations, and more to get you started as quickly as possible.
Please keep in mind that this page is meant to get players started quickly as an introduction, and does not contain much in the way of detailed explanations, mechanics, competitive options, gearing, simulation comparisons, or nuance. For more in-depth information, including all those optimizations and more, check out the complete Assassination Rogue Guide pages linked in the navigation on the left-hand side of the page, and if you're leveling up in Shadowlands, you can take a look at our

Hiya! I'm Whispyr, Moderator and Theorycrafter in the
Rogue Discord
. I've been playing Assassination at a high level for many years now, offering people help with the spec, contributing to SimulationCraft, and doing what I can to educate on all things rogue!
I also stream regularly on Twitch (

youtube videos
. Feel free to message me directly on Discord (@whispyr) for any one-on-one questions you may have.
Best Assassination Rogue Covenant
If you want to min-max your Covenant pick, here is a summary of how the Covenants look in Raids and Mythic+ content. You can click on each Covenant to go to their corresponding guide page. That said, each Covenant's best options are generally close enough that, similar to races, you should not feel bad for choosing whatever Covenant you prefer.

Keep in mind that this guide focuses primarily on a DPS throughput perspective. Every Covenant has a lot of utility and survivability options and if you have good reason to go for those over min-maxing damage, then please do so. The purpose of this guide is not to tell you what to pick but only give a comment on where some strengths lie. Furthermore, we are mostly looking at the fully unlocked Covenants. In the early game of the expansion, things can fluctuate as you unlock more and more soulbinds, soulbind traits, and conduit slots.

Assassination Rogue Stat Priority
Assassination Rogues get Agility through Item Level. It's often best to equip your highest item level piece in all slots, with the exception of rings, which do not contain primary stats. Find out more about how stats work, including sample stat weights and scaling plots in the Stats Guide, or get an overview of gear to look for from dungeons and raids in the Assassination Rogue Gear Guide.
