Best Trickster Hidden Opportunity Raid Talents

This is our highest performing single-target build, which beats out the other options that play Keep It Rolling or Fatebound instead. You should play this build on every boss that where Killing Spree does not get you into trouble.

3.

Best Trickster Hidden Opportunity Mythic+ Talents

This is the recommended Mythic+ build. While playing a Keep It Rolling build would be slightly higher AoE, it is more difficult to play and has slightly worse single-target, so this build is going to be easier to pick up and play at a high level.

3.

Best Trickster Keep It Rolling Raid Talents

This is our Keep It Rolling build for Raid scenarios. It is a bit more difficult to play then the Hidden Opportunity version, and also requires ~20% Haste to reach the reduced GCD cap of Adrenaline Rush. Only play this build if you really like Keep it Rolling.

3.

Best Fatebound Keep It Rolling Raid Talents

This build plays Fatebound and due to not having to play Killing Spree, it ends up being a bit safer. It also performs 3-4% lower than the other raid builds, so only play this if you really struggle with the Trickster builds.

3.

Best Fatebound Keep It Rolling Mythic+ Talents

An alternative version to the recommended Mythic+ build, this build plays Fatebound, which ends up significantly weaker in AoE, but it is safer due to not playing Killing Spree. Only play this if you really cannot handle Killing Spree gameplay.

Best TWW Delve Talents for Outlaw Rogue

Delves are new content in TWW that you can engage with solo or with up to three friends (and the help of a follower!). They are short ~10-15 minute scenarios, and as a Rogue, you'll be able to bypass some of the stages almost entirely thanks to being able to Stealth to objectives instead of having to fight.

Surviving can be tough in these, as the enemies hit hard, especially when you are undergeared, and your follower's heals aren't that strong just yet. That's why this talent build takes all the defensive and CC talents, so you can take on enemies methodically. Remember that there is no time limit, so you are free to wait for cooldowns or heal up to full HP, and most enemies are kitable with Crippling Poison as well.

Outlaw gets to pick between two distinct Hero Talent choices: Fatebound and Trickster.

Trickster received some major buffs in Patch 11.1 and has become the best choice for Outlaw in Mythic+ content, while being equally as good as Fatebound in most raid environments. Fatebound offers a little more consistency in the rotation thanks to its buffs to the increase to Sinister Strike and Opportunity procs, while Trickster is heavily built around Killing Spree, an ability that has a tendency to put the player into harms way.

Trickster is still the better choice in Mythic+, sporting a much higher damage potential in AoE, and being the preferred choice for raid as it can play a Hidden Opportunity build, which is easier to execute and gear than the alternative Keep It Rolling builds that Fatebound has to go for to match its DPS.

Fatebound is the higher performing option in all content, and adds some additional consistency to our rotation as it improves the chance of getting Sinister Strike and Opportunity procs. This alone makes it a very solid choice for a spec that already boasts incredible high sustained DPS, and all its benefits further improve on this strength of the spec.

Trickster is a significantly worse performing option, and is not recommended in any kind of content. It simply performs worse both in raw damage output, as well as being somewhat awkward to play due to its capstone locking you in place. Pick this option at your own peril.

If you want to learn more about the addition of Hero Talents and the ins and outs on both respective choices, you can find more information on our dedicated Hero Talents page.

In Dragonflight, there will be the option to go into "War Mode." Enabling War Mode provides the following benefits:

• PvP talents enabled in the outdoor world.
• 10% increase in World Quest rewards at maximum level.
• 10% more experience gained while leveling.
• Earn Conquest Points, which can reward gear every week.

With the benefits of enabling War Mode for leveling and PvE content, it is recommended enabling the feature to maximize your leveling and rewards at maximum level. However, you will make yourself available for open-world PvP, and the possibility of being "ganked" while leveling or doing World Quests exists.

In this section, we will rank the PvP talents best for leveling and doing solo / small group PvE content. Below is a ranking of both General PvP Talents and Outlaw Rogue-specific PvE talents.

1. Take Your Cut causes you and allies within 15 yards to gain 15% Haste for 8 seconds after you use Roll the Bones. It is fairly good since it acts as a mini- Adrenaline Rush and has decent uptime when you are questing in the open-world.
2. Boarding Party makes Between the Eyes increase the movement speed of all friendly players within 15 yards by 30% for 5 seconds. Movement speed is always nice while world-questing, so this is highly recommended.
3. Enduring Brawler increases the chance for your Sinister Strike to hit an additional time the longer you remain in combat. While this will be only a small gain in most engagements with enemies in the open-world, it is very potent when trying to kill Elites, chain-pulling, or fighting World Bosses.
