So I got the Legendaries ... now what?

Post by helmates

I got the legendardy daggers last night, after months of work. So now what?

I play Assassination spec. Should I reforge to cap Expertise? I have heard that this might be worth doing once you get the legendaries.

I have not yet used them in a fight ... do I get loads of procs on them? Do I use the 5 CPs for anything other than Envenom and keeping up Rupture? Should I still avoid clipping Envenom?

Advice appreciated.

The current anticipated* weights we have on EJ say to cap expertise, but not to sacrifice mastery for it.
Assassination procs slightly less often than Sub does, which is to say, it should be roughly every minute.
In a vacuum, you should only have to cast Envenom or Rupture during Fury of the Destroyer. In reality, using Recuperate (NOT Redirect) after targeting a new NPC at range is a strong alternative, as Recup will transfer the CPs. Recup will still not transfer your current BG status if spec'ed Combat, so stay with Redirect if Combat.
Clip Envenom during the proc. Clip it hard and try to fit as many finishers (typically Envenom spam) in as possible.

*I say anticipated, because we haven't actually sat down to figure out the modeling for the legendaries, as they're misleadingly complex to fit into the way current calculations are organized. We only have some estimates based around changes in final damage breakdown that we have from WoL.
