Outlaw Rogue PvP Best Arena Compositions (Shadowlands / Patch 9.1)

Last updated on Jul 25, 2021 at 07:14 by Shadenox 4 comments

Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Outlaw Rogue (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).

This page is part of our Outlaw Rogue PvP Guide.

2v2 Arena

Outlaw Rogue in 2v2 is mostly played with a healer as Outlaw is not the most bursty spec. It shines when the game drags on a bit as it is very durable and has great sustained damage as well as powerful crowd control tools. Your role will be to deal as much damage to one target as possible while keeping the enemy team in CC as much as you can with Blind Icon Blind, Sap Icon Sap, Gouge Icon Gouge, and Kidney Shot Icon Kidney Shot. The talents Blinding Powder Icon Blinding Powder and Deeper Stratagem Icon Deeper Stratagem are of great help there. You will want to play with healers who bring damage to the table as well as good CC to follow up your own. Playing with a Shaman would be the most damage-oriented comp as they deal a lot of damage in the early game with their Earth Elemental, while playing with a Druid would be the most dampening-oriented comp with their high healing output, Cyclone Icon Cyclone to follow up your Gouge, and Thorns Icon Thorns against melees. Playing with a Priest would be the middle ground with great damage and CC that works well with yours.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:

3v3 Arena

Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena, in a way. You will still be focusing on dealing high sustained damage to one target while crowd controlling the enemy team as much as possible. The key difference is that since there is a third enemy it will be harder to setup your kills without being denied. Because you have so much crowd control it will often be your job to take care of the third enemy in order to enable your team's burst. For instance, if you play with a Retribution Paladin and a healer you would Kidney Shot Icon Kidney Shot the healer and Gouge Icon Gouge the second DPS while your Paladin stuns the kill target and bursts it down. You also have multiple options to help your team when the enemies are using cooldowns with Dismantle Icon Dismantle and Gouge, so it will also be your responsibility to help out your team when under pressure.

Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
