Outlaw Rogue DPS Gear and Best in Slot — Battle for Azeroth (BfA) 8.2.5

With the existence of Titanforged and Mythic+ dungeons, there is no such thing as a hard Best in Slot anymore. This is more of a guideline for the best pieces to keep an eye out for in your raid or dungeon (if applicable). Be smart, and if you find higher item level pieces with valuable stat combinations do not hesitate to upgrade to them.

Currently, a number of Benthic pieces are a DPS upgrade over even Mythic versions of raid gear, and since you can effectively guarantee rolling a socket on them, they will be pulling ahead even further. Due to this, it is recommended to farm for the following pieces (in approximate order of priority):

Slot	Item
Wrists	Ori's Tidal Wristwraps
Boots	Akana's Reefstrider Footwraps
Waist	Vim's Scalecrusher Clasp
Hands	Poen's Deepsea Grips

• Pocket-Sized Computation Device is a fairly potent trinket, but does not appear to out-perform raid trinkets. At the moment Cyclotronic Blast is the most potent red card, while yellow cards have random stats and as such simply depend on your current stat weights.
• Loop/Bit ring combinations from Operation: Mechagon do have extra damage components not on the item budgets, however, they need a to both be equipped in order to activate, and limited to a base ilevel of 415 it is fairly likely for them to be out-performed by regular rings. The only useful combinations are Logic Loop of Division/ Logic Loop of Recursion and Shorting Bit Band/ Overclocking Bit Band

^* Disclaimer #1 — Currently, all of the raid Azerite pieces outside of Jerkin of the Aberrant Chimera come with somewhat underwhelming traits. Due to this, actual BiS gear would involve getting one of the other slots from the weekly Mythic+ cache. You only need one, since you can use other slot to activate Reorigination Array proc.

^** Disclaimer #2 — Currently, item level 370 trinkets (base reward from level 10 Mythic+) provide more DPS than 385 (mythic) versions of raid trinkets. Due to this, it is best to make sure if raid trinkets are
