Outlaw Rogue DPS Nerub-ar Palace Raid Guide — The War Within (Season 1)
On this page, you will find tips, tricks, and strategies tailored to your Outlaw Rogue for each boss of the following raid: Nerub-ar Palace. All our content is updated for World of Warcraft — The War Within (Season 1).
Introduction
Below, you can find class and spec-specific advice for every fight in Nerub-ar Palace. If you are looking for a general overview of the Raid that is not spec-specific, check out our dedicated Nerub-ar Palace guides.
Disclaimer: With most bosses having been tested months ago on Beta, we expect many changes to some of the boss design, their mechanics, and how long individual phases on them last. We will update this page once the content has been available on Live servers with many more tips and more specific information.
On this page, you will find tips and tricks specifically tailored toward Outlaw Rogues and its toolkit based on the recommended talent build. It does not include general tips for mechanics, which are included in the full raid guide instead, whereas this page assumes that you are already familiar with most of the major mechanics of each encounter.
All recommendations are progression-based tips and will not necessarily be the best for an overall DPS ranking.

General Cooldown Usage
Outlaw does not really have cooldowns like other classes, i.e. there is no set time window during which we deal drastically more damage. Instead, it is prudent for you to ensure that you do not use Adrenaline Rush and Vanish prior to a boss disappearing or being unattackable, as you will want to ensure that you get full value out of these abilities and the additional cooldown reduction they provide by allowing you to use better and more builders and finishers.
