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.
