Outlaw Rogue DPS Mythic+ Tips — The War Within (11.0.7)

This is the Fatebound build for Outlaw, which offers strong, sustained sustained damage in both single-target and AoE.

Try to maintain your coin buffs between packs, although do not pull packs the tank did not yet engage, just because your buffs are about to run out.

There isn't a whole lot of flexibility in your talent choices, but these are the choices you can make:

• You can opt out of any of the talents that are not required to path through in order to pick up Stillshroud for any keys where Shroud is used. Wiping and not being able to return to the boss or trash pack you wiped on is usually a depleted key, but with a reduced cooldown, Shroud might be back up again to keep going.
• You can swap Airborne Irritant for Gouge if there is a desperate need for additional stops on a low cooldown. This is a thing that will very likely only be used in higher-level keys.

Be sure to make use of the 'Export Talents' button to import the best build directly into your game!

This is the Trickster build for Outlaw, which offers strong sustained sustained damage in both single-target and AoE.

It is not recommended to play Trickster due to how awkwardly it interacts with the reduced global cooldown of Outlaw, as well as Coup de Grace locking you in place and making it impossible to cast other abilities while it procs. Only play this if you hate yourself.

Kick is your, well, "kick". You will interrupt your targeted enemy or, when using a Focus-Macro, the target you set up as your focus.

• /stopcasting
• /stopcasting
• /cast [@focus,exists,nodead] [] Kick

This macro will kick your focus target if you have one and your target if you have no focus target. We recommend keeping both the macro and a regular kick cast on your bars, as you may have multiple targets to interrupt, and the macro always prioritizes the focus target.

To quickly set a focus target in hectic scenarios, we also recommend a Focus Mouseover macro or setting the "Focus Target" hotkey in the game's keybinding settings.

• /focus [@mouseover]

Make sure that your UI shows your Focus Target's casts clearly so that you are always able to kick it on cooldown or in coordination with the rest of your group.

Sap and Blind can be useful to hard-crowd control multiple mobs in a single trash pack. You can also use it right before the tank is pulling, as Blackjack applies a damage reduction debuff to the target when Sap breaks.

Vanish can be used to Cheap Shot enemies, stunning them thanks to Subterfuge. Only use this as a last resort, as you want to use Vanish as a DPS cooldown.

With Airborne Irritant talented, Blind turns into a powerful AoE disrupt that also drastically reduces tank damage taken.

Gouge (if talented) can be used to disrupt enemies from casting otherwise uninterruptible spells. This requires you to stand in front of the enemy but can be used in many situations to keep enemies from using some of their most lethal abilities. Many of these abilities go on cooldown once used, so disrupting them with Gouge, Kidney Shot, or Blind will keep these mobs from re-casting these abilities for a while.

Shroud of Concealment projects AoE Stealth around you. It is important to note, however, that in the current expansion, there is a much greater number of enemies who can detect through Stealth or Invisibility, whom you will need to be on the lookout for.

Distract helps set up Shroud-skips and keeps patrolling trash packs in place for 10 seconds. Make sure to force enemies to look away from you to allow you to stealth past them.

Feint, Cloak of Shadows, Evasion, Crimson Vial and Cheat Death form a very powerful set of defensive cooldowns and are one of the biggest reasons for Rogue's strength in Mythic+.

Tricks of the Trade is not exceptionally great normally. However, any kind of support that helps your tank keep aggro on all enemies is encouraged. Sadly it is a choice-node with Blackjack.

Shiv can be used to dispel Enrage effects. Keep in mind that this means you will not be able to use Shiv for DPS.

Numbing Poison and Atrophic Poison are both useful in Mythic+, but with the heavier emphasis on trash mobs, Numbing Poison is likely to win out on Fortified, with Atrophic gaining more value on Tyrannical weeks. Communicate with your tank and healer which ones are preferable.
