Hero Talents

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Outlaw Rogue
Fatebound
Trickster
  • Every 5 Combo Point or more finisher that you use has a chance to flip a coin.
    • Landing on Fatebound Coin (Heads) increases your damage by 10%. Additional flips landing on Fatebound Coin (Heads) increase damage by 2%. Stacking
    • Landing on Fatebound Coin (Tails) does Cosmic damage. Additional flips increase Fatebound Coin (Tails) damage by 10%. Stacking
  • Fateful Ending
    • Very strong stat buff that you want to get as soon as possible in a fight.

Neither of these flips offer much in terms of gameplay, and you could do without tracking any of them.

  • Inevitability.
    • This could in theory make you hit your Fateful Ending earlier by using Cold Blood when you are at 5 stacks of Fatebound Coin (Heads) or Fatebound Coin (Tails). Unfortunately with current tuning this talent doesn't seem worth it.
  • Double Jeopardy.
    • Rolling double of the same coin. Can be used in combination with Inevitability.
  • Edge Case.
    • Rolling both flips for the next finisher can be pretty useful to get closer to your Fateful Ending capstone.
  • Fate Intertwined
  • Delivered Doom

This Hero Tree is currently not recommended.

  • Makes your Ambush and Sinister Strike hit your target with an Unseen Blade. 10sec duration, 20sec Cooldown.
    • Unseen Blade applies Fazed, making the target take 5% more damage from you and being unable to parry, which is pretty nice.
    • Unseen Blade also applies 1 stack of Escalating Blade as a buff on you.
      • At 4 stacks of Escalating Blade, your next Dispatch becomes Coup de Grace.
    • Coup de Grace hits your target as if your Dispatch had an extra 5 Combo Points.
      • This ability currently has a 1.2GCD lock and a lot of bugs.
      • I could start listing the bugs of this ability and the tree itself, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of new ones popping up by the time the guide is out.

The rest of the tree in general has some interesting talents, but current tuning, plus the GCD lock of Coup de Grace among other bugs makes Fatebound a better choice.

  • Mirrors
    • This is a pretty nice defensive that adds some tankyness to your kit.
  • Flawless Form
    • This is a synergistic talent in the tree that outside of being a flat % buff on your finishers, work with Nimble Flurry and Coup de Grace.
  • So Tricky
    • This is a pretty nice quality of life talent, especially for Mythic+.
  • Nimble Flurry
    • Flawless Form has pretty good uptime so a flat damage buff on your cleave is decent.
  • Disorienting Strikes
    • Unfortunate that Killing Spree is the ability that triggers this for Outlaw, but a significant talent for the spec nonetheless.

Talents

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Outlaw Rogue
Fatebound Hidden Opportunity
Fatebound Keep it Rolling
Fatebound Outlaw Rogue in Mythic+ as Hidden Opportunity

This build works best with at least 9%~ haste.

Gameplay Altering Talents

Discover all talents that significantly alter your gameplay within the Spec and Class Talent trees. This section gives a concise overview of these talents and their applications but for a more detailed look check out the Rotation and Deep Dive sections below.

Spec Tree

  • Hidden Opportunity
    • Make you want to use Ambush during your Subterfuge window.
    • Ambush in turn procs your Opportunity to spend outside of your Stealth windows, which in turn Procs Audacity.
  • Crackshot
    • This is the talent that every spec is currently playing and is centered around, making your Between the Eyes have no cooldown when used from stealth, which is where the Subterfuge synergy comes in. Also, it auto casts Dispatch with your Between the Eyes.
  • Underhanded Upper Hand
    • Used mostly to extend Adrenaline Rush uptime with Vanish.
  • Deft Maneuvers
    • You use Blade Flurry as a builder on 5 targets or more targets with this talent.
  • Dancing Steel
    • Increases your target cap which is a big issue for this spec.

Class Tree

  • Without a Trace
    • With the removal of Shadow Dance, having double Vanish charges to extend your Subterfuge windows is a great advantage.

Hero Talents

  • Death's Arrival
    • This is one of the better mobility talents to have when you have to cover a large amount of space.
  • Destiny Defined
    • We pick this talent since Outlaw doesn't like playing Cold Blood.
Fatebound Outlaw Rogue in Mythic+ as Keep it Rolling

This build works best with at least 19%~ haste.

When to use this Spec

This spec performs better than the Hidden Opportunity alternative in M+ situations but has a much higher haste requirement at 19%~

Talent Adjustments

Listing all the changes within Class and Spec tree compared to the default build.

Spec Tree

  • Added
    • Keep it Rolling
      • This talent allows you to "save" your buffs by extending them by 30 seconds, and also making you unable to reroll them away with Roll the Bones. You generally want to press this ability as soon as you have 4+ buffs to get it on cooldown.
    • Summarily Dispatched
      • Fairly strong node that smooths out the rotation a bit.
    • Triple Threat
      • Needed to get further down the tree.
  • Removed
    • Audacity
      • You don't use Ambush with this build.
    • Hidden Opportunity
    • Take 'em by Surprise
    • Heavy Hitter
      • Small dps hit to pick up Deft Maneuvers.
    • Killing Spree
    • Blinding Powder

Class Tree

  • Added
    • Echoing Reprimand
      • Makes your 3, 4 and 5 Combo Points act as if you used a 7 combo point finisher. This is an energy efficient ability that makes you hit your finisher faster and with more ease.
    • Resounding Clarity
  • Removed
    • Vigor
    • Lethality

Rotation

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Outlaw Rogue

Tier Set

  • 2-Set: Your Sinister Strike, Pistol Shot, and Ambush have a 20% chance to Ethereal Rampage, dealing 15% increased damage as Shadow.
  • 4-Set: Ethereal Rampage additionally increases the damage of your next Between the Eyes by 6%, stacking up to 3 times.

This tier is pretty badly tuned and using random offpieces is almost better in the ST setup.

Single-Target

Fatebound Hidden Opportunity
Fatebound Keep it Rolling

Opener

  • This build uses Ambush as the main builder with Audacity procs and during Subterfuge windows through Vanish or during the opener.

Prepull

  1. Cast Stealth
  2. Cast Roll the Bones

As always, Opportunity, Audacity procs, Broadside proc, can alter this rotation a bit. This tier is pretty badly tuned and using random offpieces is almost better in the ST setup. Refer to the priority list for your opener.

Outlaw Rogue opener on Single Target in Mythic+
  • Because of Double Jeopardy not working with Adrenaline Rush prepull, we use Adrenaline Rush on combat start.

Priority List

This is a general priority you aim to maintain throughout the fight.

  1. Cast Roll the Bones if you have 1 buff with Loaded Dice Active.
  2. Cast Adrenaline Rush on cooldown with 2 or less Combo Points.
  3. Cast Ghostly Strike on cooldown ideally before a finisher.
  4. Cast Killing Spree on cooldown with 6 or more Combo Points.
  5. If Adrenaline Rush is active, Cast Vanish with 6 or more Combo Points to use Between the Eyes right after.
  6. Cast Between the Eyes as a finisher in Subterfuge windows with 5 Combo Points or more. More information on Between the Eyes usage under Deep Dive.
  7. Cast Dispatch at 6 or more Combo Points.
  8. Cast Ambush in Subterfuge at 4 Combo Points or less, or with Audacity at 5 Combo Points or less.
  9. Cast Pistol Shot if you have Opportunity buff at 4 Combo Points or less outside of Subterfuge or Audacity
  10. Cast Sinister Strike at 5 or less Combo Points outside your Stealth windows.

Opener

  1. Unlike Hidden Opportunity, Keep it Rolling does not use Ambush at all.

Before Pull

  1. Cast Stealth
  2. Cast Adrenaline Rush
  3. Cast Roll the Bones
  4. Cast Slice and Dice

As always, Opportunity, Audacity procs, Broadside proc, can alter this rotation a bit. Refer to the priority list for your opener.

Outlaw Rogue opener on Single Target in Mythic+

Since KIR prefers using Loaded Dice prepull, you don't get to use your Double Jeopardy buff.

Priority List

  1. Cast Roll the Bones if you have 1 buff with Loaded Dice Active.
  2. Use Keep it Rolling at 4 or more buffs if Broadside is one of them.
  3. Cast Adrenaline Rush on cooldown with 2 or less Combo Points.
  4. Cast Ghostly Strike on cooldown ideally before a finisher.
  5. Cast Echoing Reprimand on cooldown.
  6. If Adrenaline Rush is active, Cast Vanish with 6 or more Combo Points to use Between the Eyes right after.
  7. Cast Between the Eyes as a finisher in Subterfuge windows with 5 Combo Points or more. More information on Between the Eyes usage under Deep Dive.
  8. Cast Dispatch at 6 or more Combo Points.
  9. Cast Pistol Shot with Opportunity buff at 3 or less Combo Points or at 6 stacks of Opportunity.
    • Cast Pistol Shot with Opportunity buff at 1 or less Combo Point or at 6 stacks of Opportunity while Broadside is active.
  10. Cast Sinister Strike at 5 or less Combo Points outside your Stealth windows.

AoE

For multitarget, your rotation barely changes, but there are a few things to note

  • Blade Flurry cleaves from around your character, so always try to position yourself closer to mobs when possible.
  • Keeping Blade Flurry active is the highest priority with 2 or more targets.
  • When you have Deft Maneuvers talented, you use your Blade Flurry as the highest priority builder at 5 or more targets

Deep Dive

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Outlaw Rogue

Stealth Windows

  • You have to maximize your Between the Eyes casts throughout your pull and thus have to make the most out of your Subterfuge Window. The safest way of doing this is only using Between the Eyes in your Subterfuge window. However, you can maximize the usage of your Between the Eyes casts and use it outside of your Subterfuge if
    • Your Adrenaline Rush has 45 seconds or more on cooldown.
    • Your Vanish is at 0 stacks and has more than 45 seconds cooldown.
  • In dungeons specifically, you have to plan your movement in combination with your Subterfuge windows, using off the global utility such as Grappling Hook and Shadowstep to instantly close the distance to a mob, especially if you have Subterfuge running.
  • Before a pack dies, make sure to clear your Between the Eyes so you can go into the new pack without it on cooldown when you open from Stealth.

Adrenaline Rush Usage

  • This is your "Big" cooldown. It reduces your Global Cooldown through haste, down to 0.8 during its duration. It increases energy, energy regeneration, and fills your combo points with Improved Adrenaline Rush. These are the things you are going to feel when you press it.
  • Generally, you use it as soon as it's ready, but there are some rules you can utilize to maximize the uptime.
    • If your Adrenaline Rush is about to expire, and you have Vanish ready, but you are not at full Combo Points, you can press it even at lower combo points just to extend Adrenaline Rush.
    • Only use your Vanish charges to extend Adrenaline Rush and never outside of it.
    • With Adrenaline Rush being the ability that makes your spec work, it's important that you do not waste it needlessly. Only use/refresh it when you know you are staying on the boss for a good time period. Make sure you are going to have uptime on boss or adds.
    • To hit the threshold for the global cooldown cap, Hidden Opportunity builds require 9%~ haste, while Keep it Rolling builds require 19%~. As always make sure to use raidbots to come up with the best stat weights for your character

Roll the Bones

  • Always use Roll the Bones with 1 buff if Loaded Dice is active.
  • With the KIR Build, use Keep It Rolling if you have 4 buffs or more and Broadside is one of them.
    • After Keep it Rolling is active, your buffs are "saved" and cannot be rerolled away. While they are active, and when you get your next Loaded Dice, use Roll the Bones to try and get extra buffs. Only do this when your current buffs are at ~39s or less as you can roll the same buffs again.
  • Ideally always reroll before your Subterfuge window if your buffs are about to drop, the only time not to is when True Bearing is active as Hidden Opportunity build or Broadside as Keep it Rolling Build.

Pistol Shot

You only want to use this ability when you have an Opportunity proc active, but even so, there are a few rules to follow.

With Hidden Opportunity

  • Only use Pistol Shot when
    • Ambush is not available from Audacity.
    • Subterfuge is not active.
  • During your Subterfuge, when you have Broadside active, use Pistol Shot at 1 Combo Point or less, or if you are low on energy and can't use Ambush.

With Keep it Rolling

  • If Broadside is active, use Pistol Shot at 1 Combo Point or less or at max stacks of Opportunity.
  • If Broadside is not active, use Pistol Shot at 3 Combo Points or less or at max stacks of Opportunity.

Understanding Mechanics

Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Boss Tips

Avanoxx

  • Always use Feint on Alerting Shrill.
  • Avoid kiting Starved Crawlers into the boss else the boss receives Insatiable.
    • You can drop the fixate with Vanish.
    • Evasion also works on them.
  • Try stacking with other players to avoid spawning bad Gossamer Onslaught puddles.

Anub'zekt

  • Always avoid Burrow Charge.
  • You can use your Feint with Elusiveness to lower the damage of Infestation.

Ki'katal the Harvester

  • Use your Feint if you are talented into Elusiveness while you're affected by Cultivated Poisons since it hits like a truck!
    • Also, try to position yourself in a way so that when the waves go out, they don't hit any of your party members.
  • When the boss starts casting Cosmic Singularity, run into one of the black puddles on the ground before the cast ends. Generally, you have a bit of time, so don't waste too much uptime, but also play it safe. You can Grappling Hook 0.2sec before the cast goes off.
    • Once you get into a puddle, you will be rooted in place with Grasping Blood. After the boss cast is done, use any form of CC such as Blind on the add to free yourself from the root.

Outlaw Rogue Mythic+ Build in The Dawnbreaker

Boss Tips

Speaker Shadowcrown

  • Use your Kick on the boss's Shadowbolt cast.
  • Be mindful of the movement pattern you are going to be following as the boss is casting Obsidian Beam. You can use your Cloak of Shadows or Shadowstep on a target that is somewhere safe if you get yourself in a difficult spot.

Anub'ikkaj

  • Move in a way so that Dark Orb has a long travel distance and doesn't instantly hit a wall. Regardless, make use of your Feint when it explodes as it still deals significant damage..
  • Stun Animate Shadows with Shadowfury.
  • Use your Feint for the Shadowy Decay channel.

Rasha'nan

  • When you get targeted by Rolling Acid, check where the beam is going towards and place it so that you don't hit any of your party members.
    • The side that the beam is going to shoots towards is the side your line is on.
    • In Phase 2 the beam removes the Spinneret's Strands and creates smaller green pools on the floor, so be mindful of that.

Outlaw Rogue Mythic+ Build in Mists of Tirna Scithe

Boss Tips

Ingra Maloch

  • Interrupt Spirit Bolt every time a non-tank player is targeted.
  • Ideally use your Feint on Repulsive Visage so that you take minimal damage during it. Cloak of Shadows works aswell if used within 1 second of the cast ending.

Mistcaller

  • Blind the Illusionary Vulpins to prevent them from reaching their target.
    • If your group is not crowd-controlling the Illusionary Vulpins use Crippling Poison for this fight but make sure you don't step too close.
  • Use your Feint or Cloak of Shadows during the Guessing Game.
    • While you are moving towards the add that needs to die, make sure to watch the boss for the lines as they can be very deadly if you get hit by multiple, and its easy forget about them with the boss at the opposite side of the room.

Tred'ova

  • You can try to stay on your tank to minimize movement on this fight. Generally, the boss's hitbox is very small and you want to minimize the amount of spread from Acid Expulsion.

  • Use Crippling Poison on the worms if your group doesn't have anything better to deal with them and try to avoid them as much as possible.

Amarth, The Harvester

  • Try to use your Shadowstep to Kick the Reanimated Mage adds that are far away, its very important that you get them close to the boss quickly.

Surgeon Stitchflesh

  • Ideally if you don't need to extend your Adrenaline Rush after your opener, you could save your cooldowns for when the boss gets dragged down.

Nalthor the Rimebinder

  • Using your Grappling Hook while Dark Exile projectile is flying can make you avoid being sent down.
    • Do note that you still die after 50 seconds after doing this. It's a gain if the boss has low health or the targeted player could struggle in the extra phase.

Affixes

The Affix system got revamped going into The War Within Season 1 retiring most Affixes as well as introducing new kiss-curse ones while also changing on which key level these appear.

  • +2 Affixes -- Rotates on a weekly basis
    • Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant
    • Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound
    • Xal'atath's Bargain: Oblivion
    • Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour
  • +4 Affixes -- Alternates between each other on a weekly basis
    • Tyrannical
    • Fortified
  • +7 Affix
    • Challenger's Peril
  • +10 Affixes -- Alternates between each other on a weekly basis, is always the opposite of the +4 Affix
    • Tyrannical
    • Fortified
  • +12 Affix
    • Xal'atath's Guile -- Replaces the +2 Affix

Following you get some useful tips for handling different Mythic+ Affixes as an Outlaw Rogue.

  • Xal'atath's Bargain: Ascendant
    • You can use your Blind with Airborne Irritant talented to gain the buff, but try to wait as much as possible to maximize the potential. Make sure to use on an enemy and not on one of the the orbs.
  • Xal'atath's Bargain: Voidbound
    • Try to DPS the add down quickly when it spawns as it casts Dark Prayer and buffs nearby mobs. After it dies, you get a 20% crit chance for 20 seconds. This is a great time to use your cooldowns.
  • Xal'atath's Bargain: Oblivion -- Soak the orbs
    • Simply try to soak as many of them so they don't reach the mobs as they buff them. Everyone gets the stacks of the buff regardless of who soaks them. Stacks up to 10.
  • Xal'atath's Bargain: Devour
    • You can use your Algari Healing Potion if you drop too low.
    • Cloak of Shadows works on the debuff.
    • Crimson Vial can be useful to clear the healing absorb.

Stat Priority

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Outlaw Rogue

Understand your secondary stat priority and the tertiary stats needed for optimal performance during Mythic+ dungeons as an Outlaw Rogue. For more detailed information, visit the Stats and Attributes guide.

Outlaw Rogue Mythic+ Stat Priorities

Higher Item level items are better in most scenarios. For an accurate representation of what item to equip you should use Simcraft! A static "Stat Priority" is just a starting point and can easily shift depending on your individual gear.

All secondary stats are affected by diminishing returns. Click here to learn more!

Tertiary

  • Avoidance - Great stat to reduce the damage intake of "Area of Effect" abilities.
  • Leech - Provides additional healing through damage dealing.
  • Speed - Niche tertiary that can be very useful and has been proven useful in the past. Makes playing certain mechanics a lot easier.

Trinkets

Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the mythic+ dungeon.

Active Trinket alternatives

  • Scroll of Momentum
  • Dead-Eye Spyglass
    • A good crit trinket alternative but you have to attack one target to get the full benefit.
  • Bottled Flayedwing Toxin
    • Passive single target trinket that you have to use every hour, similar to poisons.
  • Empowering Crystal of Anub'ikkaj
    • Fairly close to the previous trinket, and doesn't require you to hit the same target. A bit rng with what stat you end up getting.

Embellishments

  1. Duskthread Lining x2

Remaining Sparks

  • Crafted items are 636 item level and regular items are 639 on max item level therefore it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races

Patch 11.0.2 - The War Within
Outlaw Rogue

For min-maxing an Outlaw Rogue in Mythic+, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your character. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.

  • Stoneform -- Dwarf
    • One of the most potent racials in Mythic+ currently and historically.
    • Dispels Magic and Bleed debuffs.
  • Shadowmeld -- Night Elf
    • Also one of the most potent racials in Mythic+ historically.
    • Use-cases
      • Run past basically any mob and then cast Shadowmeld to make them reset. Even works on mobs that have stealth detection if you get enough distance before you Shadowmeld.
    • You can also re-stealth and get Subterfuge during trash, but not during boss fights.
  • Brawn -- Tauren
    • Similar to Dwarf in terms of DPS, but you don't get to have Stoneform.
  • Blood Fury -- Orc
    • Strong racial for damage that scales with level, thus being competitive right now.
    • 20% reduced Stun duration on you which can be useful in some Mythic+ dungeons.
  • Escape Artist -- Gnome
    • Free yourself from roots.
  • Rocket Jump -- Goblin
    • Do a small jump in the direction your character is facing.
    • While you're in the Rocket Jump animation you are placed on a global cooldown until your character lands.
  • Combat Analysis -- Mechagnome
    • Fairly strong passive trait that scales with level, hence why it's so strong now

Recommendation

Dwarf and Night Elf abilities have such a big impact on your Mythic+ experience that you need to use either of them if you're serious about pushing keys with your Outlaw Rogue.
