Melee DPS · Updated 2026-07-23

Tier 11 (Blackwing Descent, The Bastion of Twilight & Throne of the Four Winds, Heroic) Best in Slot from the Icy Veins Cataclysm Classic Assassination Rogue gear guide. Tables on the source are identified by the raid names in their Source column (the page's own phase labels follow Blizzard's numbering, which differs from ours). The source combines Blizzard Phase 1 & 2 into a single T11 list (Phase 2 added no raid). Combat/Assassination/Subtlety each have their own page on the source. Enchants and gems from the spec's Icy Veins enchants-consumables page.
