Rotation

WoW

The order you use your abilities for the most damage or healing. In vanilla it is usually a priority list rather than a fixed loop.

“The rogue rotation at 60 is basically Sinister Strike, Slice and Dice, Eviscerate.”

“Follow the priority list on the rotation tab and the numbers take care of themselves.”
