1. The Basics of Stats for Outlaw Rogue
The stat priority for an Outlaw Rogue is:
- Agility;
- Critical Strike;
- Haste;
- Versatility;
- Mastery.
2. Getting a Better Understanding of Outlaw Rogue Stats
Agility is your primary statistic. You should look for it in all of your upgrades. It provides you with Attack Power, which determines the damage your abilities do.
Versatility is a flat-out damage done increase and damage taken reduction.
Haste provides you with increased attack speed and Energy
regeneration. Besides the base Energy regeneration, Haste
gives you more Energy through Combat Potency. Finally, you will have
an increased number of
Main Gauche procs with more Haste.
Mastery increases the damage that your Mastery: Main Gauche
procs will deal. This attack has a chance to trigger
Combat Potency,
which increases your Energy regeneration.
Critical Strike increases your chance to critically hit with all spells and abilities.
