This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Outlaw Rogue and how you can deal with each fight as best as possible.

This is a pure single-target encounter.

Use Cloak of Shadows to avoid damage from Hellsteel Carnage, which happens at 80%, 60% and 40%, or if you get stuck in between Rays of Anguishes.

Use Grappling Hook to counter-act the knockback from Wings of Extinction.

For more information, please refer to our Kazzara guide.

This is a pure single-target encounter.

Use Cloak of Shadows to reset stacks of Blazing Heat, Corrupting Shadows and Shadowflame Contamination.

Mythic Difficulty: You will want to use Cloak of Shadows right after a tank switch, in order to only have the new debuff. If other melee also use their immunities, you can stack with one another, and make life easier for those melee who do not get to remove their previous stacking debuff.

You can easily soak Gloom Conflagration with Feint.

We recommend the cleave build for this boss.

Use Cloak of Shadows for more DPS while Bellowing Roar is active instead of having to run away from the boss. You can also use it to mitigate the damage during Violent Eruption or simply use Feint.

For more information, please refer to our Forgotten Experiments guide.

We recommend playing the cleave-heavy build on this encounter.

Almost all the magical damage on this encounter can be mitigated by both Feint and Cloak of Shadows, so use them freely. There is no major mechanic you want to save these abilities for.

Make sure to have at least some burst damage for the Magma Mystic's Molten Barrier.

For more information, please refer to our Assault of the Zaqali guide.

This is a pure single-target encounter.

Use Feint when soaking Charged Smash.

Use Cloak of Shadows to cleanse the Overcharged DoT debuff.

Timing Cloak of Shadows can prevent the application of the Overcharged debuff entirely. You will need to use it less than a second before the debuff is applied, which also allows you to mitigate all damage from Charged Smash.

For more information, please refer to our Rashok the Elder guide.

If your raid consistently stacks the golems close to the boss, you should play the cleave build on this fight, else go for single-target.

If your guild plans on simply crowd-controlling the Animate Golems, you can use Blind to do so. Remember that it has a higher cooldown than duration.

Cloak of Shadows is a very good defensive tool on this fight, and you can use it for either more uptime on mechanics such as Blast Wave or defensively if you get caught by Tactical Destruction or Dragonfire Traps.

Grappling Hook is useful to counteract the knockback from Blast Wave.

This is a pure single-target encounter.

Use Grappling Hook to counteract the knockback from Overpowering Stomp.

Cloak of Shadows removes multiple debuffs on this fight such as Lava Ejection and Searing Heat.

For more information, please refer to our Magmorax guide.

We recommend playing the cleave build on this boss. Be careful with killing your own raid members with Blade Flurry.

Feint is incredibly powerful on this encounter, as there are regular high-damage AoE hits like Echoing Fissure or Umbral Annihilation.

Save your Cloak of Shadows for Phase 2 or Phase 3. You do not have to be inside a portal in Phase 3 during Ebon Destruction with Cloak of Shadows active, and it also removes all stacks of Ebon Destruction. You will be getting more adds, however.

Evasion can be used to avoid the debuff from Shatter. This can be very helpful in Phase 2 of the encounter. Make sure to face the boss when using Evasion, as he is the source of the DoT.

For more information, please refer to our Neltharion guide.

Only phase 1 is single-target, so make sure to play the cleave build on this boss.

Phase 1: Use Feint and Cloak of Shadows freely to mitigate damage, especially when many players are cleansing their Oppressing Howl.

Phase 2: There is no mechanic you need to save your defensive cooldowns for in this phase.

Phase 3: Use Cloak of Shadows to not have to hide behind Astral Formations during Scouring Eternity.
