Outlaw Rogue PvP Best Arena Compositions — The War Within (11.1.0)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Outlaw Rogue (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Outlaw Rogue PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
Outlaw Rogue in 2v2 is mostly played with a healer as Outlaw requires time
to ramp
up. It shines when the game drags on a bit as it is durable, has great sustained
damage, and has powerful crowd control tools. Your role will be to deal as much
damage
as possible while keeping the enemy team in CC as much as you can with
Blind,
Sap,
Gouge, and
Kidney Shot. The talent
Blinding Powder
is of great help there as it makes Blind a short cooldown. You will want
to play
with healers who bring damage to the table and good CC to follow up
your own or with healers who enjoy sitting back and winning in dampening, as
Outlaw is
performing well there. Playing with a Priest would be the most
damage-oriented
comp as they deal a lot of damage and help with CC on your goes while playing
with a Monk
or an Druid will allow you to survive deep into dampening as these
healers have high
healing output and don't run out of mana easily.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Outlaw Rogue + Restoration Druid
- Outlaw Rogue + Discipline Priest/Holy Priest
- Outlaw Rogue + Preservation Evoker
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena, in a way. You will still be
focusing on dealing great sustained damage to one target while
crowd-controlling the enemy
team as much as possible. The key difference is that since there is a third
enemy, it will be harder to set up your kills without being denied. Because you
have so much crowd control, it will often be your job to take care of the third
enemy to enable your team's burst. For instance, if you play with a
Retribution Paladin and a healer you would Kidney Shot the
healer and
Gouge the second DPS while your Paladin stuns the kill
target and bursts it down. You also have multiple options to help your team
when the enemies are using cooldowns with
Dismantle and Gouge, so it
will also be your responsibility to help out your team when under pressure.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RMP/D (Outlaw Rogue + Frost Mage/Fire Mage/Arcane Mage + Discipline Priest/Restoration Druid)
- RLD/P/S (Outlaw Rogue + Affliction Warlock + Holy Paladin/ Discipline Priest)
- Thug Cleave (Outlaw Rogue + Beast Mastery Hunter/ Survival Hunter/Marksmanship Hunter + Discipline Priest/Holy Priest)
