It is meant to give you advice on ideal Talent and Legendary Power choices for each encounter as well as offer tips that may help your specialization in particular. These will not be full encounter breakdowns, but rather a quick summary of tips and tricks for Subtlety Rogues.

During the Dragonflight Pre-Patch, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will be simultaneously featured as Fated Raids.

• Move away from the raid if you get the Echolocation debuff, preferably to the edges of the room whenever possible, as it leaves a void zone after the debuff runs out.
