Outlaw Rogue PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — The War Within (11.0.5)

Last updated on Oct 21, 2024 at 21:00 by Shadenox 9 comments

Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Outlaw Rogue in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose your gear and your trinkets.

This page is part of our Outlaw Rogue PvP Guide.

Stat Priority for Outlaw Rogues in PvP

The stat priority for Outlaw Rogues in PvP is as follows:

  1. Agility;
  2. Versatility;
  3. Haste (up to 10-15%);
  4. Critical Strike;
  5. Haste;
  6. Mastery;

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest secondary stat because it increases your damage and reduces the damage you take. Critical Strike is the second best stat because, as Outlaw, your main ability, Between the Eyes Icon Between the Eyes, deals bonus critical damage. Mastery is a nice stat as it adds significant passive damage to your rotation. Haste increases your Energy regeneration and auto-attack speed, leading to more damage, and also synergizes well with Combat Potency Icon Combat Potency for even more Energy regeneration and with Mastery: Main Gauche Icon Mastery: Main Gauche for even more damage, but it remains the least desirable stat.

Gear Recommendations

2.1.

  • Neck: Forged Gladiator's Pendant Icon Forged Gladiator's Pendant
  • Shoulders: K'areshi Phantom's Emptiness Icon K'areshi Phantom's Emptiness
  • Cloak: Forged Gladiator's Cloak Icon Forged Gladiator's Cloak

2.2.

Crafted Gear and Embellishments

In The War Within, you can craft PvP items without a spark. All that is required are components that cost Conquest Points or Honor Points depending on the item level you desire. This makes it easy to improve the gear list displayed above with targeted crafts.

Outlaw relies on a balance between Haste, Critical Strike, and Versatility. As a result, you can achieve the desired stat distribution without the need to craft many items. However, you should still craft two items to benefit from Embellishments. The slots on which you decide to craft them are not important since you are able to get the best stats with Conquest gear. Simply make sure to keep following the stat priority with your crafts. The best Embellishment available is Duskthread Lining Icon Duskthread Lining, for increased Versatility. It is worth mentioning that if you are able to craft PvE items with maximum item level, then Adrenal Surge Clasp Icon Adrenal Surge Clasp combined with Writhing Armor Banding Icon Writhing Armor Banding, it is great (but it is not available on crafted PvP gear).

2.3.

Note: it is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will increase your Agility and Stamina by a significant amount.

Forged Gladiator's Medallion Icon Forged Gladiator's Medallion is a mandatory trinket to have equipped at all times. This allows you to remove any crowd control on yourself. You will use this trinket if you are stunned and will die in this stun, or on any form of CC if one of your teammates will die and you can save them.

Forged Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity Icon Forged Gladiator's Insignia of Alacrity is a good sustained damage trinket. It will randomly give you a main stat buff. It will be your default second trinket.

Forged Gladiator's Emblem Icon Forged Gladiator's Emblem increases your maximum health when used. This gives you an additional defensive when you are the target. The health increase is significant and will very often save your life if you use it when the enemy team is using cooldowns on you and your healer is in crowd control.

2.4.

Gems and Enchants

Here are the best enchants and gems for an Assassination Rogue:

  • Cloak: Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity Icon Enchant Cloak - Chant of Burrowing Rapidity
