What Are the Rogue Talent Trees in WoW Forever?
The generated route is Combat with three points spilling into Subtlety for Opportunity. It does not depend on one weapon specialization because those rows no longer exist. If you want poisons, Assassination requires Malice 5 for Lethality and Venom 1 for Mutilate; if you want opener and bleed planning, Subtlety is the relevant tree.
Each card below shows that tree’s actual talent count, deepest row, row-gate value, and the direct prerequisites attached to its key talents. The calculator enforces the same snapshot data.
Assassination
Assassination is the poison and Combo Point route. Malice 5 is the gate to Lethality, while Venom 1 is the gate to Mutilate. This tree has no Classic removals in the snapshot, so it is the easiest place to compare a Classic poison plan against current names and ranks. Direct prerequisite gates- Malice — No direct talent prerequisite; only the row gate applies. Row 1; maximum rank 5.
- Lethality — Requires Malice rank 5. Row 3; maximum rank 2.
- Mutilate — Requires Venom rank 1. Row 7; maximum rank 1.
Combat
Combat is the leveling starting route. The route scoring favors hit, off-hand damage, Energy efficiency and weapon-dependent offense. Deflection 3 gates Riposte, Precision 3 gates Weapon Expertise, and Blade Flurry 1 gates Adrenaline Rush. Direct prerequisite gates- Precision — No direct talent prerequisite; only the row gate applies. Row 2; maximum rank 3.
- Weapon Expertise — Requires Precision rank 3. Row 4; maximum rank 2.
- Blade Flurry — No direct talent prerequisite; only the row gate applies. Row 5; maximum rank 1.
Subtlety
Subtlety is for opener, stealth and bleed planning, not the generated leveling route. Dirty Tricks 2 gates Quick Getaway, Serrated Blades 3 gates Hemorrhage and Preparation 1 gates Death Mark. The removed Sap talent should not be part of a current plan. Direct prerequisite gates- Serrated Blades — No direct talent prerequisite; only the row gate applies. Row 3; maximum rank 3.
- Hemorrhage — Requires Serrated Blades rank 3. Row 5; maximum rank 1.
- Death Mark — Requires Preparation rank 1. Row 7; maximum rank 1.
What Changed for Rogue Talents vs Classic?
- Combat replaces Dagger, Mace, Sword and Fist Weapon Specialization with Hack and Slash, whose effect changes with the equipped weapon.
- Assassination adds Mutilate and Venom. Mutilate requires Venom 1, and Lethality requires Malice 5.
- Subtlety adds Dirty Tricks and Boot Knife, but Improved Sap, Sleight of Hand and Deadliness are absent. All 54 Rogue talents in this snapshot have effect text.

Where to Start a Rogue Leveling Route
The generated starting route uses Combat. A Combat route with three Subtlety points for Opportunity.
This is a rules-checked starting allocation, not a claim that one
rogue tree is the only viable option. The build page
shows every point from level 10 to 60, the official
v9_ Build Code, and the
points at which you should reconsider the route.

Rogue Talent Calculator FAQ
Does the Combat route require daggers, swords or maces?
No single weapon type gates the route. The four Classic weapon-specialization talents are absent, and Hack and Slash gives a benefit that changes with the equipped weapon. That means the route’s legality does not depend on a dagger, sword, mace or fist weapon, although individual abilities may still have their own weapon requirements.
Why does the leveling route put points into Subtlety?
The generator fills Combat first, then spends the remaining three points where its damage-first scoring accepts them; in this snapshot those points land in Opportunity. It is a generated starting allocation, not a claim that every Combat build should copy the off-tree split. Spend those points in Assassination or elsewhere if your weapon and ability plan calls for it.
What replaced the Rogue weapon specialization talents?
Combat’s Hack and Slash replaces the four Classic weapon specializations: Dagger, Mace, Sword and Fist Weapon Specialization. Its effect changes with the equipped weapon, and those four Classic talents are absent from this snapshot. The leveling route does not require one weapon type, although individual abilities may still have their own requirements.
Can I share a build with the WoW Forever Rogue Talent Calculator?
Yes. The Share button in the calculator copies a link to your exact Rogue allocation, including level, class and every point spent. Opening the link restores the build without an account, and the link records the snapshot so its points are checked against the data they were built on.
