Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to common questions about how this guide is built and how to interpret the data.

How is this Assassination Rogue Mythic+ guide created?

The guide is created by collecting live data from the 50 top-rated Assassination Rogues in Mythic+, using the Battle.net API . Their builds are then analyzed to identify the most used stats, talents, gear, and enhancements for Season 3.

How often is the information updated?

The data is refreshed every 8 hours.

Why is this called a guide?

It’s called a guide because it helps players make informed build decisions by showing what top players are using. While it doesn’t teach gameplay step by step, it serves as a reference for optimizing your setup.

Is this guide good for beginners?

Yes. It shows what top players are using, which can be useful for understanding current trends. However, it’s not a how-to guide.

Why is my character not listed in the top section?

Your character might not appear due to inactivity, not meeting the current rating threshold (which increases as the season progresses), frequent spec changes, or gear that doesn’t align with the PvE format.
