Outlaw Rogue PvP Talents and Builds — Midnight Season 1

This build focuses on high, consistent damage with short burst windows. It features multiple ways to use Ambush, which deals more damage than Sinister Strike, as well as several talents that aim at increasing the damage of finishing moves.

Audacity and Hidden Opportunity are the talents that make Ambush the Combo Point builder to use over Sinister Strike whenever possible. Alongside Improved Ambush it is a great way to deal decent damage while generating many Combo Points. Fan the Hammer works great with Audacity for additional Ambush procs. The talent Subterfuge and provides 6s during which you can use your stealth abilities, including Ambush, when you leave Stealth. This activates at the start of the game, but also every time you use Vanish (which you have two charges of thanks to Without a Trace).

Deeper Stratagem increases the damage of all finishing moves. Supercharger alongside Forced Induction allow you to further empower your finishing moves every time you use Roll the Bones. This will mainly be used in combination with Killing Spree for significant burst damage. However it can also be used alongside Between the Eyes, as several talents also enhance this ability.

Improved Between the Eyes increases the Critical Strike damage done by Between the Eyes. Ace Up Your Sleeve has a chance to make Between the Eyes instantly refund the Combo Points spent, allowing you to use it again. If you are a bit lucky with procs you can kill someone by spamming Between the Eyes only!

Fatebound has amazing synergy with Outlaw. The main effect of the tree, Hand of Fate, is triggered whenever a finisher is used with 5 or more Combo Points. Outlaw currently has very high Combo Point generation, and uses a lot of finishers quickly so Hand of Fate has a lot of value.

Beyond that Destiny Defined and Deal Fate both increase the chance for Sinister Strike (and Ambush) to strike an additional time, and allow them to generate extra combo points when they do so. The remaining talents are simply empowering the effects of Hand of Fate even further. Last but not least Death's Arrival is an amazing talent that gives Outlaw Rogues the best mobility in the game. Uptime means damage for melee specializations and so this talent is very powerful.

Trickster has been undervalued for a long time because it does not offer the same mobility as Fatebound, but the damage it provides it more than competitive. It also has a nice talent, Don't Be Suspicious, that reduces the cooldown of Blind by 10% which works well with Blinding Powder for a very short cooldown on Blind.

This build primarily focuses on your survivability so teams have a difficult time killing you when focused. You also have important tools, such as Blind, Sap, and Gouge, to control enemy players in team fights and at nodes.
