MoP Classic P5 Combat Rogue Guide

Unholy attacks advance Insight; finishers reduce major cooldowns; during Deep Insight concentrate Killing Spree and Adrenaline Rush burst.

Core resource:Energy · Combo Points

Core Rotation

Maintain Slice and Dice, generate combo points with Sinister Strike, use Revealing Strike to empower finishers, and Eviscerate as the main spender.
Use Restless Blades to continuously reduce Adrenaline Rush/Killing Spree cooldowns; pre-pool resources before Deep Insight.
On two targets, use Blade Flurry; when there are too many targets or damage must be controlled, turn it off promptly to avoid incorrect cleaving.

Bandit's Guile：Continuously attacking the same target increases Insight level; unplanned target switches reset progress; Deep Insight is burst core.
Relentless Strikes and energy：High-combo-point finishers restore energy more reliably, low-combo-point random Eviscerates disrupt resource cycles.
Blade Flurry：Copies single-target damage to nearby targets; strong for two targets; resource/damage tradeoff when active; must be off for single target.

-2 sec｜Stealth, potion, Tricks of the Trade on tank.：Safely handle the high burst at the start.
0 sec｜Ambush/Shadowstrike opener：Quickly start Insight progress and combo points.
First batch of points｜Slice and Dice：Improves auto-attack and passive resource gains.
Medium/Deep Insight｜Killing Spree (ensure safe positioning)：Pool strong abilities into higher Insight multipliers.
Resource Trough｜Adrenaline Rush + trinkets, Sinister Strike/Eviscerate cycle：Gain maximum acceleration benefit when there is energy space.

Killing Spree changes your position; do not use it near dangerous ground or platform edges.
Don't force a full burst during shallow Insight and low energy.
Slice and Dice uptime, Insight phase distribution, and finisher count.
Are Killing Spree/Adrenaline Rush used during Deep Insight, and is Blade Flurry effectively cleaving?
