Assasination rogue covenant

[Keenii]

Sooo, night fare is the best covenant but if you really don't like it which one is the best option? Considering wowhead

Kyrian > Raid (fine) Mythic (fine)
Necrolord > Raid (fine) Mythic (fine)
Venthyr > Raid (Good) Mythic (underwhelming)

I'm a bit confused

The one you like the most.
The differences between them are like ~1-3%. I'd personally go with Kyrian if you don't like to use Night Fae.

If you seriously care that much about covenant DPS, then I recommend changing spec to Subtlety because it's plenty of % ahead of assassination right now.

Sub feels TOO strong. It's gonna be nerfed. Especially 50% slice and dice

What's there to be confused about? You don't want to use the best one so you the one that is better overall at the content you want to do.

I didn't care which are the best because a guide said it, I just went with the one I liked the most and which had a nice transmog, went with the Necrolords.

Soul binds and conduits are part of the DPS considerations too.

Testing out the covenants on a target dummy I found both Bone Spike and Sepsis made up around 5% of my damage over a 1 minute parse. Sepsis has the added benefit of giving you a free stealth attack, Bone Spike the benefit of some really cheap combo points.

Covenant abilities are just not that impactful after all the nerfs they went through during beta. Rather than risk one covenant being too strong and "mandatory" they made them all lame so it doesn't matter if one is slightly better or not because their overall impact is minuscule.

That's good, I have chosen venthyr just because I liked much moro the covenant, if I have to spend more time in a zone I have to like it and the greenish necrolord (altought I like a lot the smog) and the purplish night fae (although it has the best soulbind and power) are not the best for me. In future they will randomly buff and nerf anyway.
