Enchants, Gems and Consumables for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

This section specifically covers the optimal gems, enchants, food, and flasks to use for your character. To get a more detailed rundown of the different stats for Outlaw Rogue, please visit our dedicated Stats page.

Many consumables, like enchants, gems, or potions, are available at multiple different ranks. If you are unable to afford the highest rank for any of them, you can safely choose a lower rank one instead, at the cost of some DPS.

Best Gems for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

The choice of gems is highly dependent on your gear. Each of the four secondary stats can easily be your highest simming stat depending on the current gear you are wearing, and as a result, the choice of gems and ring enchants can vary a lot. We highly recommend simming yourself to find out the best set of gems for your character specifically via Raidbots.

You should use Culminating Blasphemite Icon Culminating Blasphemite in one socket for absolute maximum DPS. Alternatively you can play Elusive Blasphemite Icon Elusive Blasphemite for a very tiny DPS loss (less than 1%), and gain a sizable amount of movement speed instead. This is recommended.. Then, you should ensure you have one gem of each type in other sockets to max out the Crit effect, ideally Versatile Ruby Icon Versatile Ruby/Versatile Onyx Icon Versatile Onyx/Deadly Sapphire Icon Deadly Sapphire/ Versatile Emerald Icon Versatile Emerald. Fill in remaining sockets with Deadly Sapphire Icon Deadly Sapphire.

Remember that you can use Magnificent Jeweler's Setting Icon Magnificent Jeweler's Setting to add up to 2 socket slots to your rings and amulet.

Rings
  • Enchant Ring - Radiant Versatility Icon Enchant Ring - Radiant Versatility or Enchant Ring - Radiant Critical Strike Icon Enchant Ring - Radiant Critical Strike

Whether you choose to enchant your gear with Avoidance, Leech, or Speed is up to you. Leech will allow you to gain some additional passive healing while you do damage, Avoidance reduces the damage taken by Area-of-Effect spells, similar to Feint Icon Feint, and Speed simply increases your movement speed. For Raid progression, movement speed is often underrated and can be a minor DPS increase if it allows you to reach your target faster.

It is always recommended to sim yourself to find out what enchants provide the best benefit to you individually.

Consumables for Outlaw Rogues

5.

Best Flask for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

You should be drinking the Flask of Alchemical Chaos Icon Flask of Alchemical Chaos at all times.

6.

Best Potion for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Your stat potion should be Tempered Potion Icon Tempered Potion. Use these when you will do the most damage with your abilities, likely during your cooldowns and/or Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust/Heroism Icon Heroism. You can also obtain Fleeting Tempered Potion Icon Fleeting Tempered Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

You should keep a stock of Algari Healing Potion Icon Algari Healing Potions to use when at low health, and if you have a Warlock in the group, grab their Healthstone Icon Healthstones and use them as well. Do not macro these together, they are best used separately! You can also obtain Fleeting Algari Healing Potion Icon Fleeting Algari Healing Potion from Cauldrons that can be spawned by Alchemists.

7.

Best Food for Outlaw Rogue in The War Within

Since our secondary stats are stronger per-point than our primary stat, you should be eating secondary stat food at all times, either Beledar's Bounty Icon Beledar's Bounty, Outsider's Provisions Icon Outsider's Provisions, Jester's Board Icon Jester's Board, Empress' Farewell Icon Empress' Farewell personal food, or the The Sushi Special Icon The Sushi Special Feast. They are all identical.

In addition, if you can afford it, you should use Crystallized Augment Rune Icon Crystallized Augment Runes to increase your primary stat. Augment Runes are expensive, and disappear on death, so use them wisely!
