Much appreciation to Shane Ivers – https://www.silvermansound.com for his musical piece “The Buccaneer’s Haul” Which I used a portion of after adding a couple sound effects from Wowhead.

  1. EDIT: Side note that I forgot to mention- Theotar is not bad for M+ either due to Wasteland Propriety, though you'll want to test/sim yourself to see what works out to a better overall gain for your character. ^^

    Sorry for the delay on this one, folks. Took a bit longer than anticipated to put together but wanted to cover as many topics as once so you'd be up to date with the latest 9.0.5 balancing/tuning changes and how they've affected a lot of our choices in end-game systems for Shadowlands. As I mention for like a solid minute straight near the beginning- The covenants are overall pretty darn close in performance to eachother, so unless you are pushing for very high level content or have the desire to try and squeeze as much damage as you possibly can (and are able to learn and adapt to new things really well) then you shouldn't need to worry too much about a covenant being 1% 'better'. Heck, if you just like the transmog I think that's worth more than 1% in most cases. xD Or if you just don't like the way a covenant ability plays/works, etc etc. There are many variables to what is the best covenant for YOU, I can only share the numbers and insight of each one as best as I can. ^^;

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or my Discord. ^^

    And again- Kudos/Thank you to the folks at Ravenholdt for all the work they put into the Rogue Community, with special props to Whispyr for going over all my info in this video. <3

  5. As you know, I already played sin before the buffs and was able to do quite well buuuut now I can finally top the meters again. Really feel like we rogues deserve to have that number 1 damage spot. 😛

  7. i really struggle, should i switch from outlaw the assa?! but then i need daggers, now i have 220/216 BIS weapons, and i really would miss the hook. but assa is more class fantasy and i never loved the pirate /sworddancer feeling. and btw doomblade! what can be a better class feeling

  11. Thank you for putting this together not just for Venthyr but for Necrolord too. Not seeing many Necrolord videos from other youtubers.

    When you do your rotational video, i hope it includes all covenants! Great guide, thank you

  13. Flagellation is stupid… Conduit is also stupid. When I mean stupid, I mean stupid strong. Like 20%+ haste, WAT???
    Kyrian is nerfed to oblivion in terms of PvP and does not add enough benefit for all specs.
    Necrolords are alright.
    Night Fae, while solid, is lame.

    I even changed covenants on my Rogue for the first time ever and I still don't feel right about it. :L
