           3: Increase Poison Counter by 12

   8)  Rake's Rampage
           1: Increase Chance to AE Attack by 100%
           2: Increase Chance to Repeat Melee Round by 100%

  9)  Shadow's Flanking
          1:  Increases your melee damage by 503% when attacking your target from behind.

BURNS

   1)  Main Burn 1 - Highly recommend binding to 1 Hotkey - to maximize efficiency and reduce effects of any lag causing issues - Also, click epic and BP just prior to hitting the main burn hotkey as to not waste the discs during casting time.
           a)  Rogue's Fury
           b)  Frenzied Stabbing
           c)  Focused Rake's Rampage
           d)  Dissident Weapons
           e)  3rd Spire
           f)  Shadow's Flanking



   2)  Main Burn 2
          a)  Once Frenzied Stabbing Fades, click Twisted Chance (Rogue's Fury will still be running). NOTE:  Twisted Chance and Cloaking Speed are on the same timer, but Cloaking Speed has a MUCH longer reuse timer.  I can use Twisted Chance TWICE in an event, where Cloaking Speed would only be able to be used once.  For that reason, I am still using Twisted Chance.  I will continue to parse out both to see if Cloaking Speed does considerably more DPS and will update this if necessary.

   3)  Use Ragged Edge once Twisted Chance has ended.  Rogue's Fury still will have some ticks left once twisted has faded, and Executioners doesnt stack well with Rogue's Fury and Knifeplay is blocked by RF.  Once Ragged Edge fades, I will generally use Knifeplay, unless for some reason i need a shorter duration disc, which I will then use Executioner's.  But 9 times out of 10, Knifeplay will be next in the rotation.   After Knifeplay, I will usually go to Chelicerae Discipline and then Executioner's.  This will get me back to Knifeplay being available again which i will then re-engage.  Main Burn is usually back to being available prior to Knifeplay ending.

* Make sure you are constantly mashing the above discs that are italicized and *.  These are short reuse abilities that add a lot to our sustained dps

**With Knifeplay being a long (3minute) duration and short reuse, there is basically never a time we should not have some kind of disc running.  Knifeplay is a necessity to use to bridge between main burns on longer events.  It can really have a huge impact on our sustained dps on those event types.  I am not shy in using it as Rogue's Fury will overwrite it, so use it if it is up and your main burn is not.  Once Rogue's Fury becomes available, can click "Main Burn 1" even if Knifeplay is running, and it will overwrite.

POISONS

   1)  Etherbrewed Toxin
        1: Decrease Hitpoints by 148 (L1) to 15436 (L105)

          Ethereal Suspension Fluid (*)
          Ro Emulsifier (*)
          Distilled Grade A Mamba Venom (*)
          Stylized Sealed Poison Vial (*)
          Ethernere Essence

    2)  Mana Poison
         1: Decrease Hitpoints by 149 (L1) to 15541 (L105)

          Mercuric Ore (*)
          Relic Fragments
          Animal Venom
          Toxin Vial (*)

   3)  Draconic Poison (Current Best Poison)
         1:  Decrease Current HP by 18591
         11: Add Melee Proc: Draconic Poison with 50% Rate Mod

           Mercuric Ore (*)
           Toxin Vial (*)
           Kunark Conflagrant Powder
           Lacertilia Venom

So after having done a lot of parsing, I have determined that due to Vallon and Tallon's Tactics lower proc rate, overall dps is better with Etherbrewed or Mana Toxin (and even poison summoned from legs) does more dps at this point.  So I recommend not using Vallon's or Tallon's and start using others.  I will edit main post to reflect.

It's a shaman spell, Osa. Released with TBM. Not sure if it's their dicho spell, but if it is then you would get rank 6 after the shaman casting it has done their progression in the expansion.

It is the dichotomic spell for shaman. Ranked up with Champion achievements. "Roar of the Lion" is the buff you'll see on yourself.

Hi there,

I just wanted to post and say many thanks for writing this up and making it public. As a player returning after a 3 year break it has really helped me understand the synergies of the new abilities.

Thanks again,
Snozzle <Ancient Dominion>

This Rogue DPS guide is just a bit over a year old.  It would be nice if it could be updated to reflect the current expansion (RoS).

Also, we sport a few members of Team Rogue now.  It would be ideal if other Rogues would chime in with their thoughts/feedback.

Thanks. :)
