Part 1: Abilities, Rotations, Talents and Glyphs



In this part we start by going through talent specializations, optimal glyphs, brief summary of class abilities and dps rotations.

Note of clarification:

1) while playing subtlety use 5 CP finishers only
2) technically it's enough to wield only 1 dagger to activate Assassin's Resolve bonus

Talents:
Assassination
Combat
Subtlety

Abilities

Ending with rogue (and not only) oriented forum:
Elitist Jerks Rogue

Would you possibly be able to upload your entire UI? I noticed that you uploaded your powerauras, but your whole UI would be awsome!
Please and thank you!

I'll consider this, most likely gonna upload it together with part 3 release if so.

[Samwish]

Did you decide if you were going to upload your UI or not? :D

[Noxe]

Yea i gave it some thoughts and came to conclusion that i'm gonna postpone it until MoP because im almost certain that some of these addons will have to be replaced due to lack of update (with Rogue Power Bars in mind as example). Therefore, i'll instead release adjusted 5.0 version that will keep its functionality for much longer. Meanwhile i'll work on improvements (there is always room for them!).

Long story short, i will most definitely release it eventually (perhaps right before expansion or right after first progress is finished). Thank you for your interest though, I really appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure that i will release it shortly before MoP release when it is clear which addons still work and which ones don't.

Hey Noxe, these videos were very informative and entertaining to watch.
What is the name of the music track that you use in them?
