Outlaw Rogue DPS Simulations — Shadowlands 9.2.5

With the advent of certain tools, such as Raidbots, simulating your character has now become simple enough that we can recommend even the average player to sim their own character. It is through advanced simulations that many of the recommendations in this guide are found, and by doing your own you can easily figure out what talents you should be using with your particular gearing combination, what gear to equip, what Legendaries to equip and more. Below there is a video guiding you on how to sim your character. Underneath that, you will find some generic simulations that apply to most people.

One of the most useful additions to simulations software is the new Droptimizer" feature on Raidbots.

The UI will let you pick the raid and difficulty.

This is very useful because you can use it for the duration of the entire tier. Currently, this does not account for a chance of Warforged, but that might change eventually.

After you finish running the simulation, you will be presented with the following graphic, which shows the value of upgrades from each boss, the average value of a drop, and the best case scenario.

With how many different builds and choices Outlaw has, it is quite difficult to give a quick overview of the different options and how they compare to each other. Fuu (fuu#7750 on Discord) of the Rogue Theorycrafting Community has compiled a list of simulations to compare these options under different circumstances, and you can find the most recent and best simulations regarding the individual and combined benefits of Legendary Powers, Covenants, and Soulbinds on this spreadsheet.

If you need a Quick Guide for each viable Covenant, Fuu has already prepared these informative images to help you on your journey to becoming the best pirate!
