Outlaw Rogue PvP Stat Priority, Gear, and Trinkets — 12.1

Last Updated: Aug 10, 2026 - 7:20 PM (2d ago)

Choosing your gear carefully is important for your Outlaw Rogue in PvP. We give you a stat priority to help you choose items with the right stats, followed by advice on how to choose your gear and your trinkets.

1.

Stat Priority for Outlaw Rogue in PvP

The stat priority for Outlaw Rogue in PvP is as follows:

Item Level
Versatility
Haste to 25%
Critical Strike
Mastery

Agility is the best stat in all situations. Versatility is the strongest secondary stat because it increases your damage and reduces the damage you take. Haste is the second most important stat because Adrenaline Rush Icon Adrenaline Rush reduces your global cooldown from 1s down to 0.8s based on your Haste. It is very important to reach 25% Haste to achieve the 0.8s value.

Critical Strike is the third best stat because, as Outlaw, your main ability, Between the Eyes Icon Between the Eyes, deals bonus critical damage when playing Improved Between the Eyes Icon Improved Between the Eyes. Surprising Strikes Icon Surprising Strikes also causes your combo point generators to deal 50% increased critical damage and Zero In Icon Zero In stacks up from your auto attack critical strikes.
