Curated for raid DPS — Symbols of Death aligned with Bloodlust, Eviscerate burst inside Shadow Dance, and Deathstalker Kingsbane stack management on single-target bosses. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.
Recommended raid build — Trickster with Symbols of Death aligned to Bloodlust for peak single-target burst. Unseen Blade procs extend and amplify the Shadow Dance window on priority targets.
Alternative raid build for pure single-target fights — Deathstalker hero talent with Darkest Night to amplify Eviscerate damage. Pulls ahead on stationary bosses with no meaningful add phases.
Record your own talent build alongside your addons — it's included when you share your setup. Get a talent string from the Wowhead talent calculator or export directly from the in-game talent tree (press N → share icon). Paste the URL or the raw string — both work.

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI intact while adding the things it lacks: castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Subtlety Rogue, a target castbar tells you exactly when to pop Cloak of Shadows or Kick, which matters when you're already juggling Shadow Dance charge timing. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Subtlety Rogue, a dedicated utility bar keeps Vanish, Shadow Dance, Cloak of Shadows, Evasion, Sprint, and Kick at consistent visible positions so your main bar stays focused on combo point generation and Eviscerate.
