证明自己：无限伤害（30波）（90级）Why Proving Grounds?

I was looking for a fun challenge, as my goal to complete 可汗 was derailed by boosted 90s sabotaging battlegrounds. With a break from the rapid-fire PTRs like 5.0-5.4, I've been trying to get back into small group and solo challenges in WoW since I have more energy to focus now.

I found myself learning Brawler's Guild in front of others stressful, so learning this with nobody looking was great.

While I dislike stepping into a raid and feeling that I'm underperforming due to a huge item level gap, the scaling in Proving Grounds places more of an emphasis on skill.

While I was disappointed that sticking with Combat, a spec I enjoy playing, would make things needlessly difficult for learning Endless, I viewed learning Mutilate as a fun experiment. If Proving Grounds are meant to make you better at your class, learning them with a spec I haven't touched since Firelands seems like a good way to put this to the test.

While there were some gimmicky things for rogues that wouldn't translate to a raid situation like using 死亡标记 every 10 seconds, I did learn a bit about the spec's nuances as well as practicing situational awareness with the 琥珀宝珠 and improving keybinds.

Talents

暗影集中 -- Abilities cost 75% less when in stealth, useful since you're starved for energy. Start in stealth each wave, and use Vanish when necessary to help generate combo points and some burst.

暗影步 -- While I started off learning the waves with 速度爆发, I found that 暗影步 was more efficient plus it had no Energy cost. I did find that 暗影步 could cause the 琥珀宝珠s to path weirdly and make a sharp turn into the wrong mob at some points though.

邪恶计谋 -- At first I didn't think too much of this tier and experimented with Paralytic at first. However, 邪恶计谋 felt key to making Waves 26 and 28 more efficient. 致盲 no longer has an Energy cost, which makes the AoE start of Wave 26 better. More importantly, 致盲 doesn't break damage from Poisons and Bleeds, meaning I can 致盲 the Mystic in 28 early to go 割裂 a Saurok and kill the 女妖 as dots finish it off with no risk of a potential heal.

死亡标记 -- This one is huge. Five free combo points on every single mob. Even if a mob is at low health and using a 5 point 毒伤 feels excessive, put 死亡标记 up so you can redirect the points over to the next target.

The Level 30 and Level 45 talents were not particularly helpful as they mostly cover defensive abilities.

Glyphs

被烧毁的雕文 -- You'll be putting 死亡标记 up on everything, but sometimes you'll be in a situation where it's more efficient to let dots kill a mob while you move onto dpsing the next. 被烧毁的雕文 shines here because you can move combo points frequently onto mobs that could use the burst dps more.

被烧毁的雕文 -- I never had to worry about refreshing 切割 with this glyph up.

被烧毁的雕文 -- Not game-changing, but it's nice to get more distance between you and an 琥珀宝珠 every now and then.

Cooldowns

Wave 24: 狂暴

Wave 25: 宿敌

Wave 26: 消失

Wave 27: 暗影之刃

Wave 28: 宿敌/消失

Wave 29: 狂暴

Wave 30: 宿敌/暗影之刃/消失//狂暴

Xinc's Endless 45 video狂暴狂暴狂暴狂暴

Pick up the 1st 狂暴 by Rotun (left side when facing door) seconds before Wave 24 starts. When Wave 24 starts, a new 狂暴 will appear in the same spot.

Get the 2nd 狂暴 (right side when facing door) at the end of Wave 5. It will last for the 20 exposed seconds of the 小型幻影煞魔 and then for the initial 10 seconds of AoE/Mystic DPS of Wave 26.

When Wave 26 spawns, a new 狂暴 will appear on the right side.

You now have two additional 狂暴s to use between Waves 27 - 30 as necessary.

狂暴狂暴消失暗影集中消失消失Wave 21-30 StrategiesProving Grounds Guide大型幻影织珀者刀扇小型幻影恶棍

Start at north on the 小型幻影秘法师. When it's at low HP with 5 combo points, 暗影步/ onto a 大型幻影守卫 and blow it up.

Blow up the second 大型幻影守卫. Sometimes weird pathing can happen with the 琥珀宝珠 where it traps the 小型幻影织珀者 instead of the second 大型幻影守卫, but the dps for this wave can handle the loss.

Run into the 小型幻影女妖 and cloak the 琥珀宝珠 so it's trapped. Finish up the 小型幻影织珀者.

死亡标记 a 大型幻影掷蕉兵 in center and then 割裂 it. 疾跑 around the bananas using 刀扇 on all the virmen.

Depending on pathing, the 大型幻影掷蕉兵 will either be in your AoE, in 暗影步 range, or far away in which case use 疾跑. Kill first 大型幻影掷蕉兵, use a speed boost to get to 2nd. If you need to travel far to the 2nd 大型幻影掷蕉兵, 刀扇 the virmen along the way.

For remaining 大型幻影恶棍, 死亡标记/割裂 one with high HP and then 刀扇 the rest.

This wave tends to die very quickly, make sure you do not kill things too quickly and lose your 切割 buff.

Grab the 狂暴 buff by Rotun right as the wave ends.

Start blowing up one of the 大型幻影守卫 with the 狂暴 you got seconds before.

Try not to path the first 琥珀宝珠 in such a way that it traps the 大型幻影织珀者 instead of the 大型幻影守卫.

Know when to stop dpsing a mob and move onto the next one with 暗影步 and 疾跑, bouncing points around with .

Kill three 大型幻影守卫, and then move to center seconds before the 小型幻影女妖 spawns.

Put 割裂 up on the 大型幻影织珀者, and then blow up 小型幻影女妖. Use 暗影斗篷 so both mobs end up trapped by amber in center.

Let dots finish off 女妖, then kill final 大型幻影守卫.

Start at north, blow up 小型幻影秘法师, dance around bananas if need be.

疾跑 to 小型幻影掷蕉兵, blow it up

暗影步 to center, start DPS on 小型幻影煞魔.

Blow up the 小型幻影女妖, but save combo points at the end so they can be redirected back onto the 小型幻影煞魔.

宿敌 when the debuff drops, also use 消失 if you need it. You can even use Prep as it will be up at the end of Wave 30.

Start in center, 致盲 one of the 大型幻影秘法师.

Target one of the 大型幻影恶棍. 刀扇 it 3-4 times, then 暗影步 and 脚踢 the other 大型幻影秘法师 who will be starting to heal. Redirect the points from 刀扇 onto the 大型幻影秘法师.

I preferred to use remaining combo points from the 1st 大型幻影秘法师 onto a AoE before dpsing the second 大型幻影秘法师, but redirecting the points onto the second 大型幻影秘法师 could work as well. With my strat, most if not all 大型幻影恶棍 were dead by the time the 2nd 大型幻影秘法师 died.

消失 felt useful here especially if I was having a dry spell on procs.

If you do have bad luck on procs, the first 大型幻影秘法师 may cast a second heal right before it dies. You need to be prepared to interrupt the 2nd 大型幻影秘法师 with your 脚踢 on cooldown, who will start casting a heal as soon as 致盲 is broken.

Blow up the 大型幻影掷蕉兵 that's in the center-south, then the nearby 大型幻影织珀者 to the south so you don't have to deal with dancing around two sets of 琥珀宝珠s. Avoid running into the 狂暴 buff since the 大型幻影掷蕉兵 likes to run on top of it.

90% of the time an 琥珀宝珠 will be heading straight towards you at this point. Cloak it to avoid dancing around the 狂暴 buff even more.

DPS the center 大型幻影守卫, which will be hit by the other 大型幻影织珀者's 琥珀宝珠. This wave in general is knowing when to stop dpsing your existing target, redirect points onto a new target, and feeling confident that dots can finish the old target off quickly so 死亡标记 is continually up. Use 暗影之刃 at the beginning/middle of the wave--whenever needs the most control.

Once the center 大型幻影守卫 is dead, kill the left, then 暗影步 to right, then 疾跑 to the last 大型幻影织珀者 (movement boost optional).

宿敌 onto the 大型幻影秘法师, use 消失 to help out generating combo points.

When the 大型幻影秘法师is at low HP with 割裂 ticking and 5 combo points, 致盲 it and redirect the points into a 割裂 on the 大型幻影杀戮者. 暗影步 back to kill the first 大型幻影女妖.

Around the time the 大型幻影女妖 dies, dots should finish up the 大型幻影秘法师 as well, freeing up 死亡标记.

any points from the 大型幻影女妖 onto the second 大型幻影杀戮者, you can get it pretty low or kill it before the 2nd banshee spawns.

Blow up the two 大型幻影女妖, go back to the 1st 大型幻影杀戮者 (usually less than 50% HP). 暗影步 to 2nd 大型幻影杀戮者 if not dead.

Get 狂暴 right before the wave starts and head towards the center, so the 大型幻影掷蕉兵 doesn't run even farther away from you as you waste seconds of the buff not dpsing.

Kill 大型幻影掷蕉兵, then the nearby 大型幻影杀戮者.

暗影步, redirect points to 大型幻影守卫, which an 琥珀宝珠 will usually hit.

points to second 大型幻影掷蕉兵, get dots up.

The 大型幻影女妖 will spawn at this point, run into the 琥珀宝珠 and 暗影斗篷 it.

Kill the 大型幻影织珀者, then finish up the 大型幻影掷蕉兵.

Keep 切割 refreshed with 毒伤. Maximum 切割 is 37 seconds.

It's better to continually DPS and waste a proc than not DPSing at all and missing out on taking 10%+ health off the 大型幻影煞魔.

疾跑 to the 狂暴 buff with 10 seconds left on 防护罩. Your dps for these interim 10 seconds will not actually be super-weak, as the 50% damage reduction is balanced out by the 30% damage buff.

Figure out how you're going to time all the following for the last 20 seconds without getting flustered and forgetting one: 宿敌, 暗影之刃, refreshing 割裂, 死亡标记, 消失//消失, any On Use Trinkets.

All enemies can dodge and parry, so stay behind the 大型幻影煞魔.

Gearing Up试炼场试炼场灵巧之源钻雪怒圣物Gear/Socket Basics

Any item above ilvl 463 is scaled down to ilvl 463; items that are 463 or below are not affected or scaled up. ilvl 458 items are viable as they can be upgraded to ilvl 466 with Justice Points.

Any trinket of ilvl 458 or higher is a valid choice because of the wide selection of unique procs, so you have a wide array of trinkets to consider compared to armor.

If you were hit/expertise capped normally, you will remain hit/expertise capped in a Proving Grounds.

Tier set bonuses are not active, and neither are Sha-Touched Gems, legendary meta gems, or legendary cape procs.

Stats from flasks, enchants, other gems, and profession bonuses are not reduced.

Whiterock's Gear Guide

When an item has a socket, 试炼场 scaling deducts 80 primary and 80 secondary stats from an item. This is balanced out by the socket gem giving +160 of a primary stat, which more than makes up for losing some of a secondary stat. 黑王子之眼 is special because the stat deductions aren't taken into account--it's just free additional stats.

The more important benefit is going from an item that has 0 sockets to an item that has 1 with a socket bonus. The socket bonuses are not scaled down in any way, so you can get additional free stats, usually 60-120 agility.

雷电王座试炼场雷电王座雷电王座决战奥格瑞玛雷电王座

Weapons not only have sockets and strong socket bonuses, but they benefit from the additional 黑王子之眼 socket which 决战奥格瑞玛 weapons do not benefit from. However, Siege of Orgrimmar weapons are preferable to PvP weapons because they at least have a socket and good socket bonus.

雷电王座 has the only illvl 463+ socketed bracers and necks in the game, as well as two of the few socketed rings.

Several tier pieces are itemized well, with multiple sockets, good socket colors, and good socket bonuses.

莱登 has many viable pieces--ring, chest, pants, boots, belt.

Unoptimized gear when starting Endless (worked for Gold): 13155 agility, 16 sockets

Gear used to beat Wave 30: 13919 agility, 21 sockets

Gear from Siege of Orgrimmar with only optimized trinkets: 14259 agility, 23 sockets

Set that is close to BiS with good SoO and ToT pieces: 14859 raw agility, 25 sockets

Gear Optimizations决战奥格瑞玛雪怒圣物雪怒之律神盾鹰眼徽章雪怒之律永恒铸币恶孽角斗士的军刺狂暴狂暴

Heroic 雷电王座 for the chance at five 莱登 pieces.

Obtaining crafted ilvl 553 gear (雪百合腰带, 雪百合马裤), which have good itemization due to their red sockets and agility socket bonuses.

Replacing my Timeless Isle pieces with doubled-up secondary stats.

Running Siege of Orgrimmar to get solid gear for most slots. Also ran 雷电王座 LFR only once.

Ensuring I had the best possible socket bonuses available. I used Tier 15 legs to get a decent socket bonus over 骄矜角斗士的皮甲护腿 PvP ones I won from the Celestials, but I didn't bother minmaxing the socket colors/bonuses from there.

雪怒圣物Consumables春华合剂海雾米线

If you use a flask before one is up, it takes your remaining duration into account and adds an hour on top of that.

If you use food before one is up, it just refreshes the duration to 60 minutes, so you can start burning food through quickly with 30 minute attempts. If you notice your food buff is low, there is a 15 second buffer after 10 and 20 to eat, plus you usually end 1-3 with a lot of spare time.

If you attempt to swap in a lesser food for learning attempts, the 250 or 275 food will not override your 300 food buff.

This is awesome, congratulations!

I have a question, though:
Did you pick the glyph of deadly momentum because there was really no other valuable choice? Since finishing moves refresh Slice and Dice in Assassination spec, it does not sound as helpful as it is for a Combat rogue.

Does this mean the glyph of Vendetta is a dps loss because most enemies die too fast for it to be effective?

评论来自 Duzevert

Thx for your guide!
Done it yesterday in Sub-spec :)

评论来自 Kilvanas

Thanks for the guide, never really used assassination outside of pvp, so help with the spec was needed.

评论来自 Cnith

I want to thank you as well for your very helpful advice! I don't think I had the optimal gear for this, but finally got the waves down today after many a 20+ wipe. Never again! (unless they make new proving grounds where you can speed up time at the lower waves).

Again: Thank you!

great and usefull guide...

got this today as assa rogue with 15600 agi set

评论来自 Alfakyn

Absolutely great guide! It helped me out a lot :D thanks!

评论来自 shams94

Thank you! I wanted to get the title on my rogue but I didn't know much about Proving Grounds and this guide had everything I needed! I got my title today and on the run where I reached wave 30 for the first time I even managed to make it to wave 46! :D

评论来自 Templarian

Perculia, I want to thank you so much for this guide! I just made it to wave 38 after a lot of practice, only days before patch 6.0 drops and the title goes away. You rock.

评论来自 TristaMeioh167

Thank you for this guide! It was the starting point for my attempts at this title (which I finally got with 1 hour to go before the server shut down for 6.0.2). When I got it I ended up using a different 'rotation' of cooldowns for waves 24-30 due to an accidental pick up of a berserker buff earlier. Instead of what you recommended I had to judge whether I needed a CD (depending on proc luck) and if so see what I had available and go with that. I hope this strategy might still be useful for the WoD equivalent of this achievement. Thanks again!
