Outlaw Rogue DPS Sanctum of Domination Raid Guide — Shadowlands 9.2.5

On this page, you will find Outlaw Rogue specific information to deal with each boss in the Sanctum of Domination raid.

This page assumes that you already understand most of the mechanics of each encounter. These can be found on the full raid guide, so what is contained here are details specifically tailored toward Outlaw Rogue and what you can do to deal with each fight as best as possible.

During Shadowlands Season 4, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will each spend time being featured as a Fated Raid. During these times encounters within the specific raid will include an additional mechanic and items will drop at increased item levels. If you would like to learn more general information about the Fated Raids system as a whole, please see our overview below. Otherwise, continue to use this page for specialization-specific tips.

As your Legendary choice largely depends on whether you have chosen to play Kyrian or Venthyr, we will not be including Legendary recommendations for specific bosses. If a specific legendary is of particular usefulness, it will be noted in the Tips section instead. For a quick glance at what legendary to play for which Covenant, please refer to our Legendary section instead.

For more information, please refer to our The Eye of the Jailer guide.

Cloak of Shadows can be used to not get slowed while carrying an Orb of Torment. Do not use it while afflicted by Malevolence or you will trigger the knockback effect immediately.

Feint should always be used to mitigate the damage taken from Shatter.

Shadowstep is very helpful to counteract the knockback effects and keep higher uptime on the boss.

Mythic Difficulty: While there are no specific mechanics you can avoid that are exclusive to the Mythic version of this fight, it is extra important to ensure you do not get knocked off the platform during any stage of this encounter. You can give yourself a bit of extra time to Grappling Hook back to the platform by not facing towards the boss, but turning your character at a 90° angle.

For more information, please refer to our Remnant of Ner'zhul guide.

Cloak of Shadows allows you to avoid taking damage from Flameclasp Eruption.

Mythic Difficulty: Outlaw has no ability to safely avoid getting hit by the wave of spikes that cover the entire length of the room during each intermission. The only way to do so is by using teleport abilities granted by certain Covenants, like Door of Shadows or Soulshape, or by playing a race that can avoid the spikes, like Void Elf for Alliance or Goblin for Horde.

For more information, please refer to our Painsmith Raznal guide.

Feint and Cloak of Shadows can be used to help soak Obliterate.

When not helping soak the tank ability, you can use Cloak of Shadows on any damaging ability in this encounter, and should use Feint for every Threat Neutralization.

Mythic Difficulty: Most strategies on this boss involve 3 non-tanks soaking both Obliterate hits with each tank. You will need to use Cloak of Shadows on this, and will be one of the best classes to help soak this.

For more information, please refer to our Guardian of the First Ones guide.

For more information, please refer to our Kel'Thuzad guide.

We advise you to use the following talents against Sylvanas Windrunner.

• Level 15: Quick Draw or Ghostly Strike (or Weaponmaster, situationally)
• Level 25: Acrobatic Strikes (or Retractable Hook, situationally)
• Level 30: Deeper Stratagem or Marked for Death
• Level 35: Cheat Death (or Elusiveness, situationally)
• Level 40: Prey on the Weak
• Level 45: Alacrity
• Level 50: Blade Rush (or Dancing Steel, situationally)

Cloak of Shadows does immune the damage of Veil of Darkness but the debuff will still apply to you, so it is not recommended to use it for higher uptime in Phases 1 or 3.

Cloak of Shadows can be used in Phase 2 for higher uptime to avoid damage from Haunting Wave.

Feint should be used to mitigate damage from Wailing Arrow.

While Sylvanas takes 99% less damage during most of Phase 2, you can still hit her with ranged attacks to build Combo Points and maintain Alacrity.

Using Sprint and Cloak of Shadows can be used to quickly gather up pools of Banshee's Bane and drop them in a corner of the platform.

Mythic Difficulty:If any of the Sentinel Adds in Phase 1 are getting too close to you while fixating on you, you can use Evasion to avoid taking damage as long as you face them. This allows you to AoE all Sentinels without having to worry about potentially getting hit.

As Cloak of Shadows makes you immune to picking up new stacks of Banshee's Bane, Rogues are one of the best classes to take care of the important Merciless soaks in Phase 3 that overlap with other abilities or are positioned inside pools of Banshee's Bane.

For more information, please refer to our Sylvanas Windrunner guide.
