The Subtlety tree favors Dagger Rogues the most, but that??s not what the Subtlety tree is about. This tree favors Rogues that want to kill their targets in the first few seconds of combat through talents that boost your stealth skills and mostly anything that has to d
with stealth. The Dagger is just a required medium.
Tier 0
Relentless Strikes
Ranks: 5
Effect Your finishing moves have a (4%/8%/12%/16%/20%) chance per combo point to restore 25 energy.
Though expensive to maximize, its place as a Tier 0 talent gives it a little worth with that little bit of energy to get you started on your next combo. Sink points into this if you can??t think of any other talents to take.
Master of Deception
Ranks: 3
Effect Reduces chance enemies have to detect you while in Stealth mode. Effect increases per rank.
If you??re focused on Subtlety, a point or two in this talent wouldn??t hurt to lower the enemy??s detection, but don??t go too far with this. This can be useful in getting through dungeons or past crowds to sap them for crowd control. Stick with the other talents if you??re more focused against players, though.
Opportunity
Ranks: 2
Effect Increases damage dealt with Backstab, Mutilate, Garrote, and Ambush by (10%/20%).
Mix this talent with a few others to maximize the damage of Mutilate and Backstab, but only use this as a point sink if you can??t find anything else to take you further into Subtlety.
Tier 1
Sleight of Hand
Ranks: 2
Effect Reduces chance of receiving a critical hit by (1%/2%). Increases threat reduction of Feint by (10%/20%).
Two points is cheap, but choosing between this and Dirty Tricks depends on whether you want to improve your stunlock or survive longer in combat. I wouldn??t count on the threat reduction if you know how to control how much you generate.
Dirty Tricks
Ranks: 2
Effect Increases range of Blind and Sap by (2/5) yards. Reduces Blind and Sap??s energy cost by (25%/50%).
Blind and Sap have some hefty energy costs for their effects, but I would get this talent for Sap??s boosts. The energy cost reduction from Sap with his talent alone gives it the energy efficiency it??s desperately needed.
Camouflage
Ranks: 3
Effect Increases speed while stealthed by (5%/10%/15%). Reduces Stealth??s cooldown by (2/4/6) seconds.
If you??re going to go down the Subtlety path, take this talent. If you??re not doing it for the movement speed boost, do it for the reduced stealth cooldown. The sooner you can enter stealth, the sooner you can bring out another opening move.
