Outlaw Rogue Guide - Shadowlands 9.2.7

How to gear an Outlaw Rogue

In World of Warcraft, gearing is one of the most important aspects that enhances your character's overall performance by providing massive amounts of stats, armor, procs, and set bonuses. This guide will teach you how to properly gear up for the most challenging content in WoW Dragonflight, Mythic Raiding, and Mythic+ Dungeons.

We'll start with the basics and cover the Outlaw Rogue's stats priority, check out the tier set bonuses, and finally, the best in slot gear you can get from mythic raids and dungeons.

Outlaw Rogue stat priority

Regardless of the class and spec you roll into in World of Warcraft, the stats are a key component when gearing up and min-maxing your character for the end-game content. Outlaw Rogues wear Leather gear with Agility as the main stat.

As a rogue, the Agility stat increases the attack power of your abilities, in other words - the damage you are dealing to the enemies. Also, please note that a higher and adequate item level will better impact your character's performance than a perfect stat distribution, so always keep an eye on the gear's item level!

Outlaw Rogues' stats priority looks like this:

  • 1. Agility
  • 2. Versatility
  • 3. Critical Strike
  • 4. Mastery
  • 5. Haste

So as an Outlaw Rogue, you will primarily value item level for Agility as the primary stat, then Versatility, followed by Critical Strike, Mastery, and Haste as secondary stats.

In other words: Agility > Versatility > Critical Strike > Mastery > Haste. And here's why:

Agility: Increases your attack power and, therefore, all the damage you are dealing to your enemies

Versatility: Increases damage dealt and reduces damage taken

Critical Strike: Increases the chances of dealing double damage with your attacks

Mastery: Increases the damage of Main Gauche off-hand attack that can proc from main hand attacks.

Haste: Increases your attack speed and your energy regen rate

Outlaw Rogue Tier Set Bonus

To start with, what is a tier set in World of Warcraft?

In WoW, a tier set is a unique class armor set with powerful 2-set and 4-set specific bonuses for each specialization of that particular class. Tier set bonuses change based on the character's active talent specialization, ensuring that the bonus is appropriate and useful to that spec.

So to recap, tier sets are unique pieces of armor that, when equipped simultaneously, provide you with a bonus, different for each spec of the chosen class. This bonus is based on the number of pieces from the set you have equipped, with most tier sets providing bonuses when equipping 2 or 4 pieces.

How to get the Outlaw Rogue Tier Set in Dragonflight Patch 10.2.7

There are three ways you can get tier set items in WoW in the Dragonflight expansion:

  • Awakened Raids: You can get tier set items found as class tokens from specific bosses in the Dragonflight Awakened Raids.
  • Revival Catalyst: You can craft Tier armor from non-set pieces of the same item level using the Revival Catalyst crafting system.
  • Great Vault: You can obtain tier set items from all activities that typically reward Great Vault, such as raiding, Mythic+ dungeons, and PvP.

The fastest way to obtain tier set items is to take advantage of these three sources that can reward you with the Outlaw Rogue Tier Set items. The best advice is to complete the Awakened raid weekly - this is probably the fastest way to get your hands on the desired tier armor. In case you don't have a team to raid with, complete some Mythic+ Dungeons or some PvP matches.

Mythic dungeons and PvP are highly beneficial because even if you can't drop the set items while participating in these activities, you increase the chances of getting your set items at the Great Vault or the Revival Catalyst console in Thaldraszus. At the revival catalyst console, you can convert the non-set pieces obtained in dungeons or PvP into tier set items.

Let's have a closer look at the Great Vault feature:

  • 2-Set: Sinister Strike has an additional 15% chance of striking an additional time.
  • 4-Set: Roll the Bones additionally refreshes a random Roll the Bones combat enhancement buff you currently possess.
