Outlaw Rogue DPS Gear and Best in Slot — 12.0.5

With the release of Midnight, all items have been squished to a much more reasonable level.

The Crest upgrade system that was introduced in Dragonflight remains, and is a useful way to upgrade even lower-item level gear to higher versions that can be quite useful in your journey. 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 all sources for Outlaw Rogue. Keep in mind that there are many other setups that perform within the margin of error. This list is not the end-all-be-all list where any item that is not listed is far behind this specific selection.

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

In some non-Tier slots, a max ilvl Craft will technically be optimal since you can customize the secondary stats to your liking. Your mileage here may vary.

Mythic+ Gear BiS List for Outlaw Rogue

This list contains the highest DPS setup with farmable gear from Season 1 Mythic+ Dungeons.

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.

TipsWhich Dungeons Should I Farm?

If you have limited time to play the game, we recommend to farm the following dungeons:

• Weapon: Try to run Nexus-Point Xenas for a weapon, unless you decide to craft one.
• Trinkets: Skyreach and Windrunner Spire drop your best dungeon trinkets, although a handful of raid options tend to be stronger.
• Pit of Saron: Drops multiple high-value items.

Raid Gear BiS List for Outlaw Rogue

This list contains the highest DPS setup, only using gear from the Dreamrift, Voidspire, and March on Quel'Danas Raid.

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.

TipsWhich Raid-Items Do I Want Most?

If you need to submit a list of highly-important items to your raidleader, or simply want to focus on the most important bosses and items, we got you covered!

• Arator's Swift Remembrance: Our BiS Mainhand, if you can get it on Myth track. Drops from Crown of the Cosmos.
• Gaze of the Alnseer: Our best passive trinket. Drops from Chimaerus, who also drops our Tier-Set chest.
• Umbral Plume: Another good passive Trinket option (play the crit version). If you know you won't be getting Gaze, this is a good alternative. Drops from Belo'ren.

Slot	Item	Source/Note
Mainhand Weapon	Your highest ilvl slow main-hand. Best choice: Arator's Swift Remembrance	Crown of the Cosmos in The Voidspire
Offhand Weapon	Belo'ren's Swift Talon	Belo'ren in March on Quel'Danas

Trinket #2	Gaze of the Alnseer	Chimaerus in The Dreamrift

There are a great number of Trinkets available for Outlaw, and we will always want to play a combination of two powerful passive trinkets like Gaze of the Alnseer and Umbral Plume. Outlaw has no meaningful burst cooldowns, so playing a on-use trinket is not that powerful for us, while running two passive trinkets lets us further boost our already high sustained DPS.

Aim to pick up one trinket from each of these categories as a pair:

Outlaw Rogue Trinkets

Passive 1 - Gaze of the Alnseer or, alternatively, Solarflare Prism
Passive 2 - Umbral Plume or, alternatively, Ranger-Captain's Iridescent Insignia

There are quite a few other valuable trinkets out there, so make sure to click on our ranking chart to see if they are worth equipping.

Click for Outlaw Rogue Trinket Rankings

Ranking	Trinket
S Tier	Gaze of the Alnseer Umbral Plume Ranger-Captain's Iridescent Insignia Solarflare Prism
A Tier	Heart of Wind Light Company Guidon Eye of the Drowning Void Crucible of Erratic Energies - Click for Details This trinket is viable at Champion track, and outperforms most trinkets on the same ilvl, and even up to 10 ilvl higher. It quickly falls off once you gain access to Myth track trinkets, but until then, we recommend simming to find out if this trinket might be worth grabbing. Keep in mind that you need to unlock all 3 bonuses to gain the full benefit out of it.
B Tier	Kroluk's Warbanner Void Stalker's Contract - Click for Details This trinket can be very useful in encounters where you need additional on-demand burst.
C Tier	Algeth'ar Puzzle Box Emberwing Feather
D Tier	Crafted Trinkets Delve Trinkets

Midnight's patch 12.0.5 introduces two new yet familiar systems:

• Nebulous Voidcore can be used to acquire specific items from raid bosses or dungeons, by letting you gain a guaranteed piece of loot from a specific drop-location. Which item you will receive from any given loot-pool, which is based on the boss/dungeon, is random, but once an item has been acquired in this way, your next use of a Voidcore on the same boss or dungeon will grant one of the remaining items you haven't yet acquired.
• Ascendant Voidcore can be used to further increase the itemlevel of Hero or Myth track weapon or trinket if they have reached the highest possible itemlevel already, as well as Radiance-Crafted items at max quality. This will further boost their power, similar to the additional upgrade from previous Turbo Boost events.

For more information on how to acquire these items, make sure to check out our dedicated guide below.

Which item you want to chase after depends heavily on the items you have already acquired through i.e. the Great Vault, or whether you expect to down certain bosses on Mythic difficulty, as you do not want to waste your Voidcores on items you may be able to get on a higher difficulty track in a few weeks. The priority is as follows:

Voidcore (Bonus Roll) Priority

1. Myth Track Mainhand
2. Mythic Gaze of the Alnseer
3. Mythic Umbral Plume OR Mythic Ranger-Captain's Iridescent Insignia
4. Remaining BiS List items

If you do not raid Mythic, using them in Nexus-Point Xenas or Skyreach will eventually get you your best Mainhand option, and a Mythic Solarflare Prism. On a new character, we recommend doing dungeons that drop a large amount of tier-slots like chest+legs+shoulders from Windrunner Spire, where you can also pick up some good trinkets even if your roll "fails". The tier-slot items you can catalyze to quickly get multiple Myth Track tier items, without having to rely on the Great Vault.

Using your Ascendant Voidcores follows a similar priority list as using your Crests:

1. Your Mainhand Weapon is the highest priority
2. Your two trinkets
3. Your Offhand weapon

You will also want to prioritize Myth track items over Hero track ones, unless you do not expect to get a Myth track variant of said item. I.e. it is fine to upgrade a Hero track Umbral Plume or Gaze of the Alnseer if you do not expect to kill Mythic Belo'ren or Chimaerus anytime soon.

Professions are a great way to gear up with your optimal secondary stats, as adding special items to the crafting process lets you pick and choose the exact secondary stats you want.

If you want to find out more about professions, i.e. to learn how to craft your own Mythic itemlevel equipment, make sure to check out our Midnight Profession guide!

As your ability to craft items will be time-gated in the initial stages of Midnight, we highly recommend getting a Mainhand weapon as soon as possible, unless you can reliably get one elsewhere. Once you have a good weapon, work on your other Embellished Item next, and then craft whichever pieces you do not have high-item-level versions of yet.

Outlaw Crafted Gear Priority

• Spellbreaker's Blade with Darkmoon Sigil: Void if you need a Mainhand
• Silvermoon Agent's Sneakers with Arcanoweave Lining
• Masterwork Sin'dorei Band with Prismatic Focusing Iris

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. Most of them provide very similar DPS benefits, even if the effects are entirely different. The two best choices for this are:

• For Raid: Darkmoon Sigil: Void on a weapon and Arcanoweave Lining on another crafted item like Boots. If you have high ilvl mainhand weapon already, craft a ring with Prismatic Focusing Iris instead.
• For Mythic+: Darkmoon Sigil: Void on a weapon and Arcanoweave Lining on another crafted item like Boots. If you have high ilvl mainhand weapon already, craft a ring with Prismatic Focusing Iris instead.

It is recommended to sim yourself to find out what works best, and if you also play the other two Rogue specs, you might want to pick Embellishments that work well for all of them.

You can add sockets to Helmets, Belts, and Bracers with the Radiant Jewelbinder consumable that you can get if you do not select any of the choices in your Great Vault. Not picking a choice will grant you tokens, six of which can be traded in for the Radiant Jewelbinder item that allows you to add a socket to the above piece of gear, if you acquired them in Season 1.

Early into the season, or if you have just started playing an alt, you will have limited access to upgrading-crests such as Myth Dawncrest. These can be used to upgrade gear to higher itemlevels. Since crests are limited each week and upgrading different items costs the same amount of crests regardless, you will want to prioritize your usage of them on items you plan on not replacing anytime soon, or that offer the biggest benefits.

Outlaw Rogue Crest Upgrade Priority

Weapon (Mainhand) ➜ Trinkets ➜ Helmet/Chest/Legs ➜ Shoulders/Gloves/Belt/Boots

These are not the only items worth upgrading, of course. They simply offer the highest DPS gain early into the tier when your upgrade currency is limited. Note that exceptions are possible, such as special items that have additional procs attached to them.

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.
