Outlaw Rogue DPS Guide - Midnight (12.0.1)

In WoW The War Within, the Outlaw Rogue has undergone some class and spec changes. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about this specialization, including how to play an Outlaw Rogue, the best gear choices, and tips to improve your performance. Find answers to all your questions in this WoW Outlaw Rogue guide.

Outlaw Rogue Overview

Outlaw Rogue is a specialization that centers around managing resources while sustaining high damage to stacked targets. As in previous expansions, Outlaw is a fantastic jack of all trades that can comfortably handle any situation or fight type. Between the three Rogue specializations, Outlaw is the most effective in situations involving cleave-DPS.

Outlaw Rogue Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths

• High sustained DPS in both Single-Target and Mythic+.
• Very versatile in both raiding and Mythic+ content with multiple viable builds.
• Very good group utility for Mythic+ in the form of Shroud of Concealment, Sap, Blind, Gouge or Airborne Irritant.
• Exceptional survivability thanks to Feint, Cloak of Shadows, Evasion and Crimson Vial.

Weaknesses

• High cooldown uptime leads to no powerful burst phases in our DPS curve, even with Bloodlust.
• Variance in damage output depending on Sinister Strike procs.
• Highly reactive gameplay, which requires quick reflexes and thinking, making the spec hard to execute flawlessly.
• Relies heavily on extending Adrenaline Rush. Losing uptime by dying or during boss transitions can severely hurt DPS output.

Outlaw Rogue Basic Gameplay

Outlaw Rogue is a spec that is heavily centered around the maintenance of its buffs and cooldowns, for example, the decision to either re-roll Roll the Bones whenever it comes off cooldown or sticking with the current buff(s) you have, as well as the management of many different cooldowns, with some taking priority over others.

Playing around Roll the Bones will quickly become second nature as you watch out for not wasting any of your resources or sitting on cooldowns for too long. Most of your cooldowns do not have a static cooldown-timer, since Restless Blades will constantly lower all your cooldowns whenever you spend Combo Points. Utilizing this cooldown reduction is key to playing Outlaw Rogue efficiently.

Outlaw Rogue Changes in Patch 11.2

Patch 11.2 brings several changes and bug fixes to the Rogue core kit, along with some Outlaw-specific updates. These adjustments aim to improve overall DPS to keep the class competitive, while also strengthening the identity of the Hero Talent trees. Killing Spree received a full rework, and Blizzard also addressed several long-standing bugged interactions.

Killing Spree Rework

The new version of Killing Spree is a channeled ability that strikes enemies in an 8-yard area indiscriminately. It can be cancelled at any time, with its duration determined by the number of Combo Points spent. The channel generates Combo Points throughout its duration as well, making it a more flexible and engaging cooldown.

Hero Talent Tier Sets

With Ghosts of K'aresh, Tier Sets are now Hero Talent-focused rather than spec-specific. This gives Rogues unique bonuses depending on whether they choose Trickster or Fatebound.

Despite the improvements, one issue persists: Fatebound underperforms compared to Trickster in Mythic+ and AoE raid encounters. While Fatebound is ~10% stronger on pure single-target, such fights are rare in modern raid design, limiting its effectiveness.

Rogue Class Changes

• Cold Blood : Cooldown now begins immediately upon use with a 15-second max duration. Helps sync cooldowns more efficiently, especially for Fatebound.
• Single-Button Assistant and Assisted Highlight now recommend more appropriate poisons based on talents, prioritizing Wound Poison in PvP.
• Fatebound Coin: Tails and Lucky Coin damage increased by 17%.
• Fixed an issue where Fatebound Coin: Heads damage was lower than intended.
• Fixed an issue where talents modifying flip chances didn’t always function correctly, resulting in an overall damage boost.
• Trickster: Nimble Flurry bonus to Blade Flurry reduced to 20% (was 25%).

Outlaw-Specific Changes

Outlaw received a strong Aura buff (increasing nearly all damage except melee swings, procs, and trinkets) and the reworked Killing Spree.

Killing Spree (3-minute cooldown, reduced by Restless Blades): A finishing move that unleashes a barrage of gunfire, striking random enemies within 8 yards for Physical damage over its duration. Duration and strikes scale with Combo Points spent. Restores 1 Combo Point every 0.5 seconds. Movement slowed by 20%. Frequency of hits and CP generation scale with Haste. Only strikes enemies in front of you.

Outlaw also received a minor nerf to Nimble Flurry. Overall, these changes smooth out gameplay flow and improve consistency, while keeping Outlaw’s core strengths intact: steady AoE and single-target output, high APM, and a reactive playstyle centered on constant ability cycling rather than relying on large burst cooldowns.

Outlaw Rogue Leveling Guide for The War Within

Outlaw Rogue Leveling Playstyle

Rogues have long held the reputation of being one of the tougher classes to level in World of Warcraft. Still, don't let that discourage you — Outlaw Rogues are more than capable of handling the leveling process smoothly. While it may take a bit longer compared to some other classes, the payoff at max level is absolutely worth it.

One major advantage Outlaw has is the ability to avoid unnecessary fights. Smart use of Blind, Vanish, Sap, and other crowd-control tools lets you sneak past enemies and complete objectives without combat. It’s a massive time-saver.

When Evasion is ready, you can pull multiple mobs and mitigate damage while using Blade Flurry to cleave them down. Don’t forget to make frequent use of Crimson Vial between pulls to stay healthy. Once you unlock Blade Flurry, dungeons also become a great way to level, thanks to your solid AoE damage output.

Gear Options

While leveling, the rule of thumb is to equip the gear with the highest item level. The exceptions are Rings and Necklaces, as they lack primary stats — having two secondary stats may sometimes outweigh a higher item level.

If you’re using Heirlooms, opt for those with Haste to improve the overall feel and speed of combat.

Outlaw Rogue Talents for Leveling

Talents offer useful passives and abilities that shape your gameplay experience. While many don’t change how you play moment-to-moment, some are key milestones you’ll want to prioritize for smoother leveling.

At Level 71, you’ll gain access to Hero Talents. We recommend choosing Fatebound, which provides solid bonuses both for leveling and endgame content — including an extra Grappling Hook.

If you’re leveling with War Mode on, the best PvP talent picks are:

• Enduring Brawler — Boosts your Sinister Strike proc rate the longer you're in combat, ideal for quick chaining between mobs.
• Boarding Party — Grants a short burst of movement speed to nearby allies when using Between the Eyes, great for navigating zones quickly.
• Take Your Cut — After casting Roll the Bones, grants 15% Haste to yourself and nearby allies for 8 seconds, mimicking a mini Adrenaline Rush.

As you level, some abilities will be replaced with spec-specific versions. For instance, at Level 22, Eviscerate becomes Dispatch. Others will be added via talents or simply unlocked as you progress. Following a guided talent build can help make sure you’re using each new tool effectively as it comes in.

Outlaw Rogue PvP Talents for Leveling

• Take Your Cut — A solid choice for maintaining high Haste during open-world questing, thanks to its synergy with Roll the Bones.
• Boarding Party — Adds helpful mobility when using Between the Eyes, which can speed up your leveling pace.
• Enduring Brawler — Builds up your Sinister Strike proc chance the longer you stay in combat. A great choice if you keep a fast rhythm while questing.
• Control is King — Converts Cheap Shot into a Slice and Dice activator and makes Kidney Shot restore Energy. A strong option if your combat uptime is inconsistent.

Fatebound Raid Talents

Trickster Mythic+ Talents

PvP Talents (War Mode)

In The War Within, players have the option to enable War Mode, which provides a mix of PvP and PvE incentives:

• PvP talents become active in outdoor zones.
• 10% increased rewards from World Quests at max level.
• 10% more experience gained while leveling.
• Earn Conquest Points weekly, which can be used to purchase gear.

Given the benefits for both leveling and endgame PvE content, enabling War Mode is recommended. However, be aware that it also opens you up to open-world PvP, meaning you may be attacked by other players while leveling or completing World Quests.

Outlaw Rogue War Mode Talents

This section outlines the most effective PvP talents for Outlaw Rogues while leveling or engaging in small group PvE content. These include both general-use and spec-specific options.

Recommended PvP Talents

• Take Your Cut — A solid choice for maintaining high Haste during open-world questing, thanks to its synergy with Roll the Bones.
• Boarding Party — Adds helpful mobility when using Between the Eyes, which can speed up your leveling pace.
• Enduring Brawler — Builds up your Sinister Strike proc chance the longer you stay in combat. A great choice if you keep a fast rhythm while questing.
• Control is King — Converts Cheap Shot into a Slice and Dice activator and makes Kidney Shot restore Energy. A strong option if your combat uptime is inconsistent.

Best Hero Talents for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Trickster

The Trickster tree is centered around triggering a new proc called Unseen Blade, which deals substantial damage on activation. It begins with a 20-second internal cooldown, but several talents reduce this cooldown and allow for extra procs under certain conditions. The effect also applies a debuff to the target, increasing all damage they take from you and preventing them from parrying your attacks.

Trickster is now competitive with Fatebound in single-target scenarios. While its rotation may feel slightly less fluid, Trickster currently outshines Fatebound in Mythic+, making it the best pick for Outlaw Rogues in that content.

Fatebound

Fatebound pairs naturally with Outlaw's playstyle, improving the fluidity of combat by increasing the chance for Sinister Strike to strike an additional time. It also provides a damage boost and additional proc via Hand of Fate, which complements Outlaw's sustained damage focus.

This tree is simple, passive, and consistent—traits that improve gameplay smoothness while delivering strong results. For single-target scenarios, most builds continue to favor Fatebound due to its ease of use and reliable performance.

Raiding Hero Talents for Outlaw Rogue

Both Fatebound and Trickster perform similarly in raid settings. If you’ve already been playing Fatebound, there’s little reason to switch. New players may choose Trickster with no major performance loss. However, it's important to note that Trickster relies on Killing Spree, which can lead to dangerous positioning in raid environments—making it less ideal in those cases.

Mythic+ Hero Talents for Outlaw Rogue

Trickster is the superior option for Mythic+, primarily due to its buffs to Blade Flurry. It outpaces Fatebound by about 8–10%, making it the preferred choice. That said, players should remain mindful of Killing Spree, as it can introduce additional risk during tight melee encounters common in Mythic+ dungeons.

Outlaw Rogue DPS Stat Priority

The Basics of Stats for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

For Raiding and Mythic+, the secondary stat priority for Outlaw Rogue is:

1. Versatility
2. Haste
3. Critical Strike
4. Mastery

The value of Haste can vary depending on your build. Hidden Opportunity builds aim for around 10% Haste, while Keep It Rolling builds target closer to 20%, though reaching this may be more difficult. Rather than stacking Haste on every piece of gear, aim to get near these "breakpoints" where possible.

While Versatility is our best stat, it diminishes in value quickly. Haste is primarily valuable to hit the 0.8-second GCD threshold during Adrenaline Rush, which is typically achievable with just a few gear pieces. It's ideal to prioritize Versatility and Critical Strike, and take as much Haste as necessary to meet your threshold.

Stat weights may shift as you gain gear, trinkets, and upgrades. These general priorities offer a solid foundation, but it's strongly recommended to simulate your character regularly to optimize your stats.

Getting a Better Understanding of Outlaw Rogue Stats

Agility: Your primary stat, found on all upgrades. It increases Attack Power and boosts your ability damage.

Versatility: Provides a flat damage increase and reduces incoming damage.

Critical Strike: Increases your chance to deal double damage. It also synergizes with Improved Between the Eyes for bonus crit effects.

Haste: Boosts your attack speed and Energy regeneration. It enhances Combat Potency and increases Main Gauche procs. During Adrenaline Rush, it reduces your GCD to as low as 0.8 seconds.

Mastery: Increases the damage of your Mastery: Main Gauche procs. These also have a chance to trigger Combat Potency, further boosting Energy regeneration.

Outlaw Rogue DPS Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities

Fatebound Single-Target Ability Priority List for Outlaw Rogue

This is a general priority list for using your abilities. It is not a strict rotation to follow step by step, but rather a guideline to help you make the best decisions during moment-to-moment gameplay. You will often be faced with multiple abilities available at once—this list helps you understand which ones should typically take priority over others.

1. Use Roll the Bones on cooldown unless you have any of the desired buffs.
2. Use Keep It Rolling when you have 4+ buffs already. If you're still missing Broadside, wait until the last second of your lowest-duration RtB buff to use it, hoping to also get Broadside.
3. Use Adrenaline Rush on cooldown, at low Combo Points.
4. Cast Vanish at 6+ Combo Points, followed by Between the Eyes. Only use Vanishwhile Adrenaline Rush is active.
5. Cast Between the Eyes on cooldown if the Ruthless Precision RtB buff is active, and as your sole finisher during Crackshot windows. Otherwise, use it only to refresh the buff.
6. Cast Ghostly Strike on cooldown as a regular builder.
7. Cast Dispatch as your main finisher.
8. Hidden Opportunity only: During Subterfuge, use Ambush if you don’t have Opportunity procs or are at 2 Combo Points after finishing. Also use Ambush from procs.
9. During Subterfuge, use Pistol Shot if you have Opportunity procs, have Broadside, and are at 0 or 1 Combo Points after finishing.
10. Cast Pistol Shot if you have an Opportunity proc.
11. Cast Sinister Strike to generate Combo Points.

Opener Sequence for Outlaw Rogue

This is your prepull opener:

1. Cast Stealth.
2. Cast Roll the Bones 2 seconds before the pull.
3. Cast Adrenaline Rush 1 seconds before the pull.

This is your actual in-combat opener:

1. Use Ghostly Strike from Stealth.
2. Cast Ambush.
3. Build with Ambush during Subterfuge, or a free proc.
4. Finish with Between the Eyes during Subterfuge with 5+ Combo Points.
5. Build to 6+ Combo Points once Subterfuge drops.
6. Cast Between the Eyes.
7. Build to 6+ Combo Points again.
8. Use Vanish followed by Between the Eyes, then repeat the Subterfuge playstyle of 5+ Combo Point Between the Eyes.
9. Repeat this process twice.
10. Once you have exhausted your Stealth cooldowns, follow the regular priority rules.

You will want to ensure that Between the Eyes is on cooldown whenever you use Vanish. Avoid using Vanish if Adrenaline Rush is about to expire. You can also hold onto the second Vanish charge if you did not roll Ruthless Precision as one of your Roll the Bones buffs.

Trickster Multi-Target Ability Priority List for Outlaw Rogue

1. Use Roll the Bones on cooldown unless you have any of the desired buffs.
2. Maintain Blade Flurry.
3. If talented: Use Keep It Rolling when you have 4+ buffs already. If you are still missing Broadside, wait until the last second of your lowest-duration RtB buff to use it in hopes of also getting Broadside.
4. Use Killing Spree on cooldown with 6+ Combo Points.
5. Use Adrenaline Rush on cooldown at low Combo Points.
6. Cast Vanish at 6+ Combo Points, followed by Between the Eyes. Only use Vanish while Adrenaline Rush is active.
7. Cast Between the Eyes on cooldown if the Ruthless Precision RtB buff is active, and as your sole finisher during Crackshot windows. Otherwise, use it only to refresh the buff.
8. Cast Ghostly Strike on cooldown as a regular builder.
9. Cast Dispatch as your main finisher.
10. Hidden Opportunity only: During Subterfuge, use Ambush if you do not have Opportunity procs or are at 2 Combo Points after finishing. Also use Ambush from procs.
11. During Subterfuge, use Pistol Shot if you have Opportunity procs, have Broadside, and are at 0 or 1 Combo Points after finishing.
12. Cast Pistol Shot if you have an Opportunity proc.
13. Cast Sinister Strike to generate Combo Points.

Important Notes for Outlaw Rogue

How to Roll the Bones

The general rule is to use Roll the Bones on cooldown, unless you already have 3 or more buffs active or have recently used Keep It Rolling. In that case, wait until the buffs are below 40 seconds before using it again.

You should also reroll Roll the Bones if you're about to use Vanish.

Keep It Rolling

Keep It Rolling is mainly used in Mythic+ content. The priority is simple: use it after gaining 4 or more buffs from either Roll the Bones or Count the Odds. If none of those buffs include Broadside, you can delay using Keep It Rolling until the last second of a buff, hoping for a proc that grants Broadside.

After using Keep It Rolling, cast Roll the Bones once again if:

• You don’t have all six buffs
• You have Loaded Dice
• Your buff duration is below 39 seconds

This extends the buff durations and increases your chances of getting a fifth or sixth buff, without losing the ones already active.

Roll the Bones Academic Information

Roll the Bones grants one or more random buffs. Its duration is affected by Pandemic, meaning it can safely be refreshed when less than 30% remains. You can receive the following buffs:

• True Bearing: Finishers reduce cooldowns of key abilities by 0.5s per Combo Point.
• Ruthless Precision: +15% Crit chance, +60% Crit chance for Between the Eyes.
• Skull and Crossbones: +25% chance for Sinister Strike to strike again.
• Grand Melee: +10% Blade Flurry cleave damage, +5% overall skill damage.
• Broadside: +1 Combo Point per generator, +15% generator damage.
• Buried Treasure: +5 Energy per second.

Buff probability:

• 1 buff: 78%
• 2 buffs: 20%
• 5 buffs: 2%

Combo Points and Energy

Outlaw Rogues rely on Energy for most abilities. Your base Energy pool is 100 (increased to 200 with Vigor and 250 during Adrenaline Rush), regenerating at 10/sec baseline. This can be increased by:

• Melee Haste
• Combat Potency (+25%)
• Adrenaline Rush (+60%)
• Vigor (if talented)

Avoid Energy capping by frequently using abilities. Unlike Subtlety or Assassination, Outlaw Rogues should not pool Energy — always spend it quickly, especially during burst windows like Bloodlust or trinket procs.

Combo Point generation is boosted by:

• Opportunity (with Quick Draw)
• Improved Ambush or Fan the Hammer
• Sinister Strike double hits
• Broadside
• Ruthlessness: 20% chance per Combo Point spent to grant 1 Combo Point

Never overcap Combo Points. Be especially cautious when guaranteed to generate 2 points, such as during Broadside or when using Pistol Shot with Quick Draw.

Adrenaline Rush

Adrenaline Rush increases Energy regen by 60%, adds 50 Energy to your cap, and boosts attack speed by 20% for 20 seconds. Use it on cooldown, and feel free to stack it with Bloodlust, Heroism, or Time Warp. While you may cap Energy, the attack speed gains are still valuable.

Cooldown is 3 minutes, reduced via True Bearing and Restless Blades. It also reduces your global cooldown proportionally to your Haste, down to a 0.8s minimum.

Outlaw Cooldown Reduction

Restless Blades reduces cooldowns of the following abilities by 1s per Combo Point spent via finishers (+0.5s with True Bearing):

• Adrenaline Rush
• Between the Eyes
• Blade Flurry
• Blade Rush
• Ghostly Strike
• Grappling Hook
• Keep It Rolling
• Killing Spree
• Roll the Bones
• Sprint
• Vanish

Blade Flurry

Blade Flurry cleaves from your position, not your target. This means enemies can be behind or in front of you—even more than 8 yards apart—and still be hit as long as you're positioned between them.

Defensive Utility

Rogues are packed with defensive tools, making them ideal for handling high-damage mechanics.

• Feint: Reduces AoE damage by 40% for 6s. With Elusiveness, also reduces all damage by 20% and enhances Evasion.
• Cloak of Shadows: Provides 1s of magic immunity and 4s where all spells miss. Great for clearing harmful debuffs or soaking non-piercing abilities.
• Cheat Death: Prevents death once every 6 minutes, so long as the hit isn’t more than twice your max HP. Ideal for unavoidable or surprise mechanics.
• Crimson Vial: Self-heal on a short cooldown. Use liberally in boss fights.
• Evasion: 100% dodge chance against frontal attacks. Can sometimes avoid physical spell damage too.

Poisons

Your lethal poison should always be Instant Poison.

For your non-lethal poison:

• Atrophic Poison is best for raids (reduces group-wide damage).
• Crippling Poison is helpful for slowing targets, assisting tanks in Mythic+.
• Numbing Poison slows enemy attack speed, which can also benefit your tank or group.

Outlaw Rogue DPS Gems and Consumables

Best Gems for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

The best gems for Outlaw Rogue heavily depend on your current gear. Each secondary stat can be your top-performing stat depending on your loadout, so it's essential to sim your character using tools like Raidbots to determine the optimal gem and ring enchant setup.

Use Culminating Blasphemite in one socket for maximum DPS. Alternatively, Elusive Blasphemite offers nearly the same performance (less than 1% DPS loss) with the added benefit of increased movement speed, which may be preferable in many scenarios.

Ensure you have one of each gem type in your other sockets to activate the set bonus for extra Critical Strike or Movement Speed. Ideal gems include:

• Versatile Ruby
• Versatile Onyx
• Deadly Sapphire
• Versatile Emerald

Fill remaining sockets with Deadly Sapphire or the highest simming stat combination for your character.

Use the Magnificent Jeweler's Setting to add up to two sockets to your rings and amulet.

Best Flask for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Always use Flask of Alchemical Chaos for the best performance.

Best Potion for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Your primary stat potion should be Tempered Potion. Use this during your cooldown windows or when under the effects of Bloodlust or Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion from Alchemist-spawned Cauldrons.

Keep a stock of Invigorating Healing Potions for emergency healing. If a Warlock is in your group, grab a Healthstone as well. Do not macro these together; use them independently for better survival. Fleeting Invigorating Healing Potion is another option from Cauldrons.

Best Food for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Since secondary stats outperform primary stats point-for-point, always use secondary stat food. All the following options are equally effective:

• Beledar's Bounty
• Outsider's Provisions
• Jester's Board
• Empress' Farewell
• The Sushi Special (Feast)

If affordable, use Crystallized Augment Runes for a primary stat boost. These are costly and consumed on death, so use them strategically.

Best Enchants for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Necklace	Magnificent Jeweler's Setting (adds up to 2 sockets to a Ring or Neck)

Best Trinkets for Outlaw Rogue in Season 3

There are a number of good trinkets available for Outlaw Rogue in Season 3, from a variety of different sources. Two stand out as the go-to choices here, if you can acquire them:

• Sigil of the Cosmic Hunt - A very strong passive trinket that provides regular damage every time it procs.
• Astral Antenna - A very strong DPS trinket with a Crit stat proc that can stack.

The above two trinkets are the ones you want to aim for, but there are some strong alternatives that you can farm more reliably until you grab those two raid trinkets.

• Ara-Kara Sacbrood - A good DPS trinket with a useful passive proc that you can get from Mythic+.
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker - Another good option from Mythic+.
• Incorporeal Warpclaw - A solid damage proc trinket from the new dungeon, farmable in Mythic+.
• Unyielding Netherprism - One of the few alternatives that you can acquire from Raid.

The War Within Season 3 Tier Set for Outlaw Rogue

If given a choice, try to prioritize the Helmet, Shoulder, Chest, and Legs slots for this. However, getting the Gloves to complete one of the bonuses is still better than any other gearing choice.

Outlaw Rogue Frequently Asked Questions

What Stats Do I Want as an Outlaw Rogue?

For raiding and Mythic+, prioritize Versatility and Critical Strike.

• Versatility provides consistent damage increases and damage reduction.
• Critical Strike improves overall damage output and synergy with various talents.
• Haste can also be useful to lower the global cooldown (GCD) during Adrenaline Rush.

Should Outlaw Rogue Use a Fast or Slow Off-Hand?

The speed of your off-hand weapon does not matter as long as the item level is the same. If you have a choice between two weapons, always pick the higher item level for the best performance.

Which Race is the Best for Outlaw Rogue?

Race choice has minimal impact on DPS, but the top picks are:

• Horde: Tauren, Highmountain Tauren, and Blood Elf.
• Alliance: Dwarf, Void Elf, and Human.
  Choose based on racial abilities that best fit your playstyle or personal preference.

Is There a Haste Cap for Outlaw Rogue?

The optimal Haste target depends on your chosen talents:

• Hidden Opportunity Build: Around 10% Haste.
• Keep It Rolling Build: Around 20% Haste.
  Haste plays a role in reducing the GCD during Adrenaline Rush, making certain breakpoints more beneficial.
