Dragonflight Assassination Thief Talent Guide
These talents are recommended for fairly standard use in Mythic Dungeons where you will need DPS as well as helping your group as much as possible with your control spells.

In the general part of the talent tree
- No talent really seems optional here. The idea being to maximize your DPS without sacrificing your controls and resistance too much.
In the Assassination part of the talent tree
- If you want an AOE oriented talent tree, you can use
this build.
Stats to favor in Thief Assassination
Our hierarchy of secondary stats for an Assassination Thief in MM+ takes into account the use of the talents listed at the top of this guide. The values will change depending on your equipment as well as the content. Note that for a DPS, the item level is generally the most important since this determines the total Agility, the strongest stat at this position.

Otherwise, Criticism is the main stat, the secondary stats are very close, which makes us confident in the choice of ilvl before the secondary stats. Critical strike rating increases the chance of dealing double damage. Mastery increases the damage of your bleeding as well as that of your poisons.
Item Level > Critical = Mastery > Haste > Versatility
Note that we recommend using software like Simcraft or RaidBots
in order to test piece by piece, point by point, the DPS gain based on your equipment. If specializations have fairly clear differences between secondary stats, this is not always the case and each stuff is different. So your results will be more accurate by using a simulation tool to compare.
Enchantments for Assassination Thief
Enchantments allow you to balance your stats (see above) and generally increase the effectiveness of your character. It is recommended to only add it to pieces that you plan to keep as little as possible. Also, be aware that it is possible to replace one enchantment with another, but you will lose the first one.
Consumables for Assassination Thief in Dragonflight
In terms of consumables to use in Thief Assassination in Mythic Dungeons +, some of them will depend on the level of the key and your ambitions. So, below 10 there is generally no need to use premium consumables. On the other hand, beyond 18-20, you will need to use combat potions as often as possible as well as all the usual necessities.
For the Flask (Phial in English), the latter only lasts 30 minutes but can be accumulated twice (i.e. a total of 1 hour).
An important element regarding the
Invis Potion which allows you to avoid packs of monsters and thus save time in a Mythic key. This must be used outside of combat and each action will immediately interrupt its effect.
Best trinkets for Thief Assa in MM+
Jewelry being one of the most important pieces of equipment for your character, we recommend two of the best trinkets as well as three alternatives to them.

Thief Assassination, a good DPS in MM+ on Dragonflight?
In season 4, the Assassination Thief is a good cac DPS in MM+.
Thanks to the recent changes to the Assassination Thief, it is now much more powerful in Mythic+ (as in Raid for that matter). With spells like Dead
which increases its DPS and carnage
which offers him more control, he is much more armed than before against the MM+.
Additionally, the class has good mobility and utility kit. Let's not forget that no matter the specialization, the thief brings the concealment veil to his group which will allow him to take unique routes.
Therefore, the Assassination Thief will be a good choice during Dragonflight Season 4 for DPS in MM+. For more information, we recommend that you consult our tier list on the best cac DPS in Mythic Dungeons on Dragonflight.
