Disclaimer
This page will be a rough outline of the bosses and mechanics in the Crucible of Storms raid. This page will focus primarily on how an Outlaw Rogue can optimize its performance on the raid bosses in Crucible of Storms, and not on an actual raid strategy for the bosses. Initially, this page will focus on Heroic mode and lower, however, as more bosses are being killed on Mythic, the guide will also include optimizations for Mythic bosses.
Outlaw in Crucible of Storms
Outlaw is competitive on single target, closing the gap with other specs, and has a superb cleave; however, it is still likely to be outclassed by Assassination.
