Outlaw Rogues in Dragonflight: Strengths and Weaknesses

In World of Warcraft, the Rogue class comes with three DPS specializations: Outlaw, Subtlety, and Assassination. The rogue's spending resource is called Energy. All three specializations revolve around a fast-paced melee-oriented playstyle, with the Outlaw rogue as the most flexible spec.

The Outlaw Rogue represents one of the best DPS classes for Mythic Dungeons and Mythic Raiding in Dragonflight Season 4, providing a high damage output for both single-target and multi-target encounters.

In terms of weapons, the Outlaw Rogue uses any combination of Daggers, Swords, Axes, Maces, and Fist Weapons. However, to use some abilities, Outlaw rogues require a slow one-handed weapon in their main hand. As for raid gear, rogues share the Vanquisher Tier Token with Death Knights, Mages, and Druids for legacy content. In the Dragonflight's latest expansion, the Awakened raid, the rogue shares the Zenith Tier Token with Monks, Warriors, and Evoker.

In the table below, we present the Outlaw Rogue's strengths and weaknesses:

How to gear an Outlaw Rogue

In World of Warcraft, gearing is one of the most important aspects that enhances your character's overall performance by providing massive amounts of stats, armor, procs, and set bonuses. This guide will teach you how to properly gear up for the most challenging content in WoW Dragonflight, Mythic Raiding, and Mythic+ Dungeons.

We'll start with the basics and cover the Outlaw Rogue's stats priority, check out the tier set bonuses, and finally, the best in slot gear you can get from mythic raids and dungeons.

Outlaw Rogue stat priority

Regardless of the class and spec you roll into in World of Warcraft, the stats are a key component when gearing up and min-maxing your character for the end-game content. Outlaw Rogues wear Leather gear with Agility as the main stat.

As a rogue, the Agility stat increases the attack power of your abilities, in other words - the damage you are dealing to the enemies. Also, please note that a higher and adequate item level will better impact your character's performance than a perfect stat distribution, so always keep an eye on the gear's item level!

Outlaw Rogues' stats priority looks like this:

• 1. Agility
• 2. Versatility
• 3. Critical Strike
• 4. Mastery
• 5. Haste

So as an Outlaw Rogue, you will primarily value item level for Agility as the primary stat, then Versatility, followed by Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste as secondary stats.

In other words: Agility > Versatility > Critical Strike > Mastery > Haste. And here's why:

Agility: Increases your attack power and, therefore, all the damage you are dealing to your enemies

Versatility: Increases damage dealt and reduces damage taken

Critical Strike: Increases the chances of dealing double damage with your attacks

Mastery: Increases the damage of Main Gauche off-hand attack that can proc from main hand attacks.

Haste: Increases your attack speed and your energy regen rate

Outlaw Rogue Tier Set Bonus

To start with, what is a tier set in World of Warcraft?

In WoW, a tier set is a unique class armor set with powerful 2-set and 4-set specific bonuses for each specialization of that particular class. Tier set bonuses change based on the character's active talent specialization, ensuring that the bonus is appropriate and useful to that spec.

So to recap, tier sets are unique pieces of armor that, when equipped simultaneously, provide you with a bonus, different for each spec of the chosen class. This bonus is based on the number of pieces from the set you have equipped, with most tier sets providing bonuses when equipping 2 or 4 pieces.

How to get the Outlaw Rogue Tier Set in Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7

There are three ways you can get tier set items in WoW in the Dragonflight expansion:

• Awakened Raids: You can get tier set items found as class tokens from specific bosses in the Dragonflight Awakened Raids.
• Revival Catalyst: You can craft Tier armor from non-set pieces of the same item level using the Revival Catalyst crafting system.
• Great Vault: You can obtain tier set items from all activities that typically reward Great Vault, such as raiding, Mythic+ dungeons, and PvP.

The fastest way to obtain tier set items is to take advantage of these three sources that can reward you with the Outlaw Rogue Tier Set items. The best advice is to complete the Awakened raid weekly - this is probably the fastest way to get your hands on the desired tier armor. In case you don't have a team to raid with, complete some Mythic+ Dungeons or some PvP matches.

Mythic dungeons and PvP are highly beneficial because even if you can't drop the set items while participating in these activities, you increase the chances of getting your set items at the Great Vault or the Revival Catalyst console in Thaldraszus. At the revival catalyst console, you can convert the non-set pieces obtained in dungeons or PvP into tier set items.

Let's have a closer look at the Great Vault feature:

And this is what the Revival Catalyst looks like:

Back to our Outlaw Rogue Tier Set. Now that you learned how to obtain the tier set, let's see some set bonuses and particularities, shall we?

The Outlaw Rogue Tier set is called Lucid Shadewalker's Silence. It comes with the following bonuses for two pieces and four pieces equipped:

• 2-Set: Sinister Strike has an additional 15% chance of striking an additional time.
• 4-Set: Roll the Bones additionally refreshes a random Roll the Bones combat enhancement buff you currently possess.

In the table below, we present you the sources for Outlaw Rogue Tier Set items:

The remaining tier set items (Cloak, Wrists, Waist, and Boots) can be obtained by using the Revival Catalyst in Thaldraszus.

As previously stated, you unlock the tier set bonuses for your Outlaw Rogue when you equip any two or four pieces of the Vault Delver's Toolkit set. Your four pieces of tier set as a Outlaw Rogue will be the Helm, Shoulders, Gloves, and Legs for itemization and build optimization.

How to level an Outlaw Rogue. Outlaw Rogues leveling tips

Before leveling your Outlaw Rogue, you must first create and customize the character. That brings us to the first question: what race should you go for when creating the character? Let's find out, shall we?

Best Outlaw Rogue Races

When it comes to racials, with so many options to choose from, you are probably wondering what would be the best race for your rogue. In World of Warcraft, each race has different racial abilities and spells, but no races offer an immediate advantage compared to others regarding the Outlaw spec. I highly recommend choosing the race you like the most, aesthetically speaking.

However, in the table below, you can see the top 10 best races for Outlaw Rogues based on performance gain:

Now, if you want to make an idea of what race players generally choose for their Outlaw Rogues:

• For Alliance: Human, Gnome, Night Elf, and Mechagnome.
• For Horde: Zandalari Troll, Blood Elf, and Goblin.

Best Outlaw Rogue Leveling Talents and Rotation in Dragonflight 10.2.7

The best talents to use while leveling to level 60 as an Outlaw Rogue are:

Now let's check out how you should prioritize your abilities. Here is what most people consider to be the best leveling rotation for Outlaw Rogues:

Outlaw Rogue Single Target Rotation

• Outlaw Rogues in Dragonflight bring a swashbuckling blend of damage and utility to the table while leveling. Adrenaline Rush (on Cooldown). This isn't the flashiest cooldown, but its frequent uptime makes it valuable. Use it whenever it's available for a consistent damage boost.
• Roll the Bones (For Enhancements): If you haven't gotten any combat enhancements from Roll the Bones, use it again to try and proc a buff, like increased Attack Power or reduced cooldowns.
• Blade Flurry (Multi-Target): When facing two or more enemies, unleash Blade Flurry to cleave through them with a whirlwind of attacks.
• Keep Slice and Dice active for increased attack speed and overall damage output. Finish your foes with Between the Eyes (on Cooldown).
• Talking about Combo Points and Builders is important. Use Dispatch as your primary Combo Point builder. It generates Combo Points quickly and efficiently.
• Now, Blade Rush offers both mobility and Combo Point generation. Use it strategically to reposition yourself and build Combo Points.
• Next, when you have the Opportunity proc active (from Roll the Bones), use Pistol Shot for a powerful ranged attack that also consumes Combo Points.
• Last but not least, if you don't have Opportunity active, use Sinister Strike as your filler ability to generate Combo Points.
• The Outlaw Rogue leveling philosophy is quite simple. This class playstyle is smoothly at its core. The key is to consistently build Combo Points and then unleash them with powerful finishers like Between the Eyes. Don't overthink it – prioritize keeping your buffs active and your cooldowns on cooldown for maximum efficiency.
• As a last step, I want to define that Outlaw Rogues have a straightforward approach to cooldowns while leveling. Make sure you use Adrenaline Rush whenever it's available. Don't hold onto it for a perfect situation. Instead, maximize its uptime for consistent damage.

Follow the rotations, and you'll get to max level in no time! Now that we've covered the leveling part, it's time to move on to the end-game.

In the next section of our Outlaw Rogue Guide, we'll present the best talents to use for PvE end-game content, such as raiding and Mythic+ dungeons.
