Defensive Tips
- On Heroic and lower difficulties, you can help soak the 
 Unstable Crawler Mines
with 
 Cloak of Shadows, but only if you also receive 
 Blessing of Protection. - Depending on your assignments and raid strategy, you want to hold onto

you can 
 Grappling Hook to the boss, even if none of the walls are broken yet.

Tips for Chrome King Gallywix for Outlaw Rogue
Defensive Tips
- Make sure to use 
 Feint and 
 Crimson Vial for each set of
abilities that leave behind 
 Mechengineer's Canisters. You cannot

 Cloak of Shadows. - Hold onto and use 
 Cloak of Shadows if you ever drop low HP while the
above healing absorb is still active on you. You may not remove it, but you
give your healers more time to do so. - You can also hold onto 
 Cloak of Shadows to not have to run away during
 Suppression, immuning the 
 Gallybux Finale Blast.

due to 
 Suppression being cast.

Mythic Difficulty

General Offensive Cooldown Usage
Outlaw Rogue has a few cooldowns to think about using optimally on the fights in Liberation of Undermine:
- Outlaw doesn't really have cooldowns, due to how much cooldown reduction you get on each of your CDs.
 
 Adrenaline Rush and 
 Vanish are your most important cooldown-based
abilities, as they contribute in major ways to your overall DPS performance. Make
sure to not waste these casts so you can get as much cooldown reduction on them
as possible.
Make sure to use your cooldowns on cooldown as much as possible unless certain adds or DPS phases allow you to get more value out of them. This is typically something you will want to discuss with your Raidleader or the rest of the raid in static groups, while PUGs are more freeform than that. Simply keep an eye out on how you can best serve the raid.
Take special care to not use 
 Adrenaline Rush right before a boss
becomes unavailable or very difficult to attack for 10+ seconds, as it will cause
issues with the amount of cooldown reduction you will gain, resulting in a much lower
 Adrenaline Rush uptime.
General Defensive Cooldown Usage
If you want to mitigate damage during some of the harder hitting moment of
any given encounter, just 
 Feint. You can use 
 Cloak of Shadows
to remove a variety of debuffs, or simply use it when the entire raid takes massive
chunks of damage or has a very strong DoT effect on all players, to alleviate
some of the pressure on your healers.
