Outlaw Rogue DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Dragonflight 10.2

Disclaimer: With the vast amount of changes to Rogue and Outlaw talents and abilities in Patch 10.2, we expect more findings and optimizations to surface as the Theorycrafting community continues their efforts to find the best possible way to play the spec. As a result, information on this page might receive frequent updates after Patch 10.2 hits live servers.

With the start of Season 3, Amirdrassil is opening up its gates, and you are once again able to acquire gear from the Raid. Mythic+ is also starting, same as the new PvP season, and this serves as a soft reset for most of the gear you acquired during the last Season of Dragonflight.

Season 3 once again uses the Crest upgrade system that was introduced in the previous season. We recommend that you check out our dedicated page for more information on this gear upgrade system if you are not yet familiar with it:

BiS List for Outlaw Rogue

This list contains the highest DPS setup from most sources, for Outlaw Rogue

In most non-Tier slots, a 486 iLvl Craft is technically optimal, since you can customize the secondary stats to your liking. A few 489 iLvl slots from Mythic Raid are the exception.

This list is by no means a replacement for simming yourself. Depending on your previous Great Vault choices and the gear you have available to yourself, your BiS gear might look different than this list in some spots.

With all the different layers of gearing currently available to players, it is impossible to cover all edge cases and individual recommendations in a guide. We therefore highly recommend simming your own character by using Raidbots. This website allows for precise and individualized recommendations that consider your exact talents, gear, trinket, and all the other layers of gearing that the game has to offer. Learning to use this tool is essential to maximizing your potential, as it is the only reliable way to get information on which piece of gear, enchant, gem, or trinket is the best for your character.

The Droptimizer feature from Raidbots lets you identify which dungeons and Raid Bosses offer the highest DPS upgrades to you. It simulates all of the potential upgrades in a raid or a dungeon and lists the bosses/dungeons by rank order of how much DPS you can expect to gain from each of the items it drops. We have a guide for it that you can access using the link below.

These are some of the items you should prioritize on upgrading as high as possible early into the season:

• A Mainhand weapon, like Thorncaller Claw, and the Nick of Time Offhand dagger.
• A powerful trinket like Cataclysmic Signet Brand or Coiled Serpent Idol
• Embellished Items like Toxic Thorn Footwraps and a crafted item with Toxified Armor Patch.

These are not the only items worth upgrading, of course. They simply offer the highest DPS gain early into the tier when you are limited by the weekly cap of the Crests.

Amirdrassil once again offers us the choice of 5 tier-set items that grant powerful bonuses: Rogue Outlaw 10.2 Class Set 2pc and Rogue Outlaw 10.2 Class Set 4pc

If given a choice, try to prioritize the Shoulder, Chest, Gloves, and Legs slots for this. However, getting the Helmet to complete one of the bonuses is still better than any other gearing choice.

Professions are a great way to gear up with your optimal secondary stats, as generating specific secondary stat combinations is now possible when adding special items to the crafting process. With the heavily reworked crafting system in Dragonflight, exploring the new professions will help you gear up throughout the expansion, as you will be able to craft some Mythic Raid item-level pieces further down the line.

If you want to find out more about professions, make sure to check out our Dragonflight Profession guide!

As your ability to craft items will be time-gated in the initial stages of Patch 10.2, we highly recommend to get a Main Hand weapon as soon as possible. However, the Nick of Time dagger is so powerful that you will eventually replace your weapon with it, so be careful not to waste your limited opportunity to craft an item unless absolutely necessary.

Up to two of your crafted items can be Embellished. This is a similar concept as Unique-Equipped, as you can only wear two items that have the Embellished status. Some crafted items, many of which have powerful procs or beneficial effects by default, are considered Embellished. You can also add Embellishments from a variety of professions to any crafted item, adding the effect to this item either when creating it or at a later stage.

As there is a lot of competition for Embellishments, you will have to pick and choose the two strongest ones for your overall DPS output. The two best choices for this are:

• Toxic Thorn Footwraps
• A crafted item with Toxified Armor Patch.

You can add sockets to your necklace by using a Tiered Medallion Setting on it. Depending on the rank of the Medallion, you can add up to 3 sockets to any necklace you own.

You can also add sockets to Helmets, Belts, Bracers, Necks and Rings with Tokens of Merit, which are granted if you do not select any of the choices in your Great Vault. 6 of these tokens can be traded in for an item that allows you to add a socket to any piece of gear you acquired in Season 3.

Which gems and enchants to use heavily depends on your current stat priority. As previously mentioned, this priority can shift and change whenever you acquire new gear, so simming yourself to figure out the best use of your newly acquired socket is highly recommended. The general rule is to prioritize Versatility and Critical Strike on as many pieces of gear as possible, and prioritizing those stats for any consumables as well.
