Introduction
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.
Disclaimer: These tips and recommendations were made for Season 4 of Shadowlands, and any potential changes or adjustments for Dragonflight are not taken into consideration.
During the Dragonflight Pre-Patch, Castle Nathria, Sanctum of Domination, and Sepulcher of the First Ones will be simultaneously featured as Fated Raids. During this time encounters within each 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.
Legendary Recommendations
You will want to play 
 Invigorating Shadowdust at all times.
Talent Cheatsheet
You can easily import the talent tree below into the game with the following string:
- BQQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUSAJJQSSCJtEBSgEJSAkIAAAAAAARIpRJJgkkWAAAA
 
The Tarragrue
 Cloak of Shadows can be used to remove 
 Predator's Howl on yourself or
to keep damaging the boss during 
 Hungering Mist.
You should avoid picking Anima Powers with negative side-effects, such as
 Lumbering Form, 
 Twisted Samophlange or 
 Ten of Towers.
 Evasion can be used to soak the 
 Chains of Eternity, avoiding
the stun so no 
 Annihilating Smash is cast.
Mythic Difficulty: There are no specific mechanics you can avoid that are exclusive to the Mythic version of this fight.
For more information, please refer to our The Tarragrue guide.
The Eye of the Jailer
 Cloak of Shadows can be used to run through the 
 Annihilating Glare.
Mythic Difficulty: 
 Cloak of Shadows does not remove the
 Scorn and Ire debuffs, but it will prevent a new application. You can
use this to lower the damage intake, and it will not trigger a
 Scorned Annihilation.
For more information, please refer to our The Eye of the Jailer guide.
The Nine
You can solo-soak 
 Arthura's Crushing Gaze with 
 Cloak of Shadows.
You can stay inside Kyra's 
 Wings of Rage with 
 Evasion and not
take damage or get stunned. Make sure to face the boss while doing
so.
Mythic Difficulty: 
 Evasion can still be used in the second
stage to continue avoiding taking damage from 
 Wings of Rage. Make sure
to face the center of the area or you will get hit in the back and die.
For more information, please refer to our The Nine guide.
Remnant of Ner'zhul
 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.
Soulrender Dormazain
 Cloak of Shadows can be used to avoid taking damage from most
abilities in this encounter.
 Feint should be used before each 
 Warmonger Shackles get
broken.
Mythic Difficulty: There are no specific mechanics you can avoid that are exclusive to the Mythic version of this fight.
For more information, please refer to our Soulrender Dormazain guide.
Painsmith Raznal
 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.
Guardian of the First Ones
 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.
Fatescribe Roh-Kalo
 Cloak of Shadows can be used to soak 
 Fate Fragments during
the Intermissions. You can also safely remove 
 Call of Eternity without
triggering the explosion or spawning any of the follow-up effects like
 Echo of Eternity or the Mythic-only mechanic 
 Fate Fragment.
Mythic Difficulty: If you get hit by 
 Exposed Threads of Fate you
can remove the debuff by using 
 Cloak of Shadows.
For more information, please refer to our Fatescribe Roh-Kalo guide.
Kel'Thuzad
 Cloak of Shadows can be used to not take damage during the Phylactery
Phase, as well as to immune damage from 
 Glacial Wrath.
Mythic Difficulty: There are no specific mechanics you can avoid that are
exclusive to the Mythic version of this fight. You will want to hold onto
 Cloak of Shadows to remove the 
 Sinister Miasma debuff inside the
Phylactery to allow your healer to focus their healing on other players instead.
For more information, please refer to our Kel'Thuzad guide.
Sylvanas Windrunner
 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.
