WoW Forever Rogue Talents Guide
Rogues stay the benchmark other melee are measured against. Assassination builds crit engines around Mutilate, Combat brings Adrenaline Rush for honest sustained damage, and Subtlety picks up Death Mark and Boot Knife for the shadow-step crowd.
Rogue Assassination tree in Forever
Mutilate and Seal Fate feed each other: crits give combo points, combo points feed finishers. Improved Kidney Shot keeps the stun value. Poison management still decides your real output.

Adrenaline Rush remains the strongest burst cooldown in the tree, and Flash of Steel sharpens Sinister Strike spam. Weapon skill matters, so pick a weapon type and commit.

Rogue Subtlety tree in Forever
Death Mark is a new opener that marks a target for bonus damage, and Boot Knife adds a ranged option to a tree that used to be all dagger-commitment. Preparation still resets everything for the second fight.
