I finished Proving Grounds Gold as Combat Rogue today and decided to make a video guide out of it. Used the World of Warcraft brewfest music as soundtrack.

The Proving Grounds are solo scenario in which you fight mob waves and need to complete them before a timer runs out. Gear is scaled down like in Challenge Modes. If I remember correctly I had about 44k dps during the 10 waves.

Several mobs have special abilities.

Illusionary Amber-Weavers launch ambers that encase the first target they hit. Encased targets are stunned and take 50% additional damage.

Illusionary Mystics cast strong heals and need to be controlled or interrupted.

Illusionary Banshees explode after a short amount of time and need to be killed before.

Illusionary Banana-Tossers throw bananas at you. Getting hit causes a debuff with your hit chance severly lowered.

The Illusionary Sha has a shield that reduces damage taken by 50%. Wait until the shield runs out before you pop cooldowns.

Talents: The most important one is Marked for Death to maximise the gains from Restless Blades. Using many finishers helps to reduce the cooldowns of many combat rogue abilities. Also it can be used constantly as the enemies die fast.

Talents:

Shadow Focus, Nerve Strike (useless), Elusiveness (useless), Shadowstep, Prey on the Weak, Marked for Death

Glyphs:

Glyph of Deadly Momentum (important to keep Slice and Dice up)

Glyph of Redirect (waste no combo points, use finishers)

Glyph of Sprint (moving faster to drag embers helps)

UI:

ArenaLive UnitFrames - curse.com/addons/wow/arenalive-unitframes

The Monk skill Diffuse Magic reduces magic damage taken by 90%. I used it prior to the Dispel with Revival but still got the normal damage I would have gotten without Diffuse Magic.
