Tips for Mug'Zee for Outlaw Rogue
Defensive Tips
- On Heroic and lower difficulties, you can help soak the
Unstable Crawler Mines with
Cloak of Shadows, but only if you also receive
Blessing of Protection.
- Depending on your assignments and raid strategy, you want to hold onto
Cloak of Shadows to soak the
Goblin-guided Rocket. You can soak two of these back to back if you use Cloak for the second one.

Feint when the
Earthshaker Gaol soak is happening. This ability deals very high damage.

Grappling Hook to the boss, even if none of the walls are broken yet.

Crimson Vial for each set of abilities that leave behind
Mechengineer's Canisters. You cannot remove this debuff with

Cloak of Shadows to not have to run away during
Suppression, immuning the
Gallybux Finale Blast.

due to
Suppression being cast.

Mythic Difficulty
- There are no Mythic-specific tips here just yet. Make sure to check in again after the fight has been playable on live servers for a bit!

General Offensive Cooldown Usage
Outlaw Rogue has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
- Outlaw doesn't really have cooldowns, due to how much cooldown reduction you get on each of your CDs.
Adrenaline Rush and
Vanish are your most important cooldown-based abilities, as they contribute in major ways to your overall DPS performance. Make sure to not waste these casts so you can get as much cooldown reduction on them as possible.
Make sure to use your cooldowns on cooldown as much as possible unless certain adds or DPS phases allow you to get more value out of them. This is typically something you will want to discuss with your Raidleader or the rest of the raid in static groups, while PUGs are more freeform than that. Simply keep an eye out on how you can best serve the raid.
Take special care to not use Adrenaline Rush right before a boss
becomes unavailable or very difficult to attack for 10+ seconds, as it will cause
issues with the amount of cooldown reduction you will gain, resulting in a much lower
Adrenaline Rush uptime.
General Defensive Cooldown Usage
If you want to mitigate damage during some of the harder hitting moment of
any given encounter, just Feint. You can use
Cloak of Shadows
to remove a variety of debuffs, or simply use it when the entire raid takes massive
chunks of damage or has a very strong DoT effect on all players, to alleviate
some of the pressure on your healers.
