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.
Stat Priority for Outlaw Rogue in PvP
The stat priority for Outlaw Rogue in PvP is as follows:
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 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, deals bonus critical damage when playing
Improved Between the Eyes.
Surprising Strikes also causes your
combo point generators to deal 50% increased critical damage and
Zero In stacks up from your auto attack critical strikes.
Gear Recommendations
You want to use PvP items as much as possible since they have increased item level in PvP combat. It is essential to be wearing 2 PvP trinkets. This will give you a Stamina and stat boost that will increase your survivability.

Outlaw Rogue Tier Sets
It is important to note that ALL tier sets are nerfed to 50% effectiveness in PvP. Although this nerf is significant, some tier sets are still important to acquire to maximize your chances to win. For Outlaw Rogues, this is your tier set:
- 2-set:
Dispatch damage increased by 15%. - 4-set:
Sinister Strike and
Ambush have a 20% chance to
cause your next
Dispatch to be free and deal damage as if you
spent the maximum combo points.
In general, it is recommended to get both 2-set, and 4-set for Outlaw Rogues
Outlaw Rogue Embellishments
Embellishments are bonuses that can be put on crafted gear. These effects can have a drastic impact on the game. You are only allowed to have two Embellishments equipped at the same time. Here are the recommended Embellishments for Outlaw Rogue:
Arcanoweave Lining. This Embellishment gives your spells and
abilities a chance to empower you and an ally. This will increase you and
your teammate's primary stat. Overall, this is will give you and your team
the highest damage output.
