Subtlety Rogue DPS The Eternal Palace Raid Guide — Dragonflight 10.2.5

In this section, you will find information and guidance for each boss individually in the Eternal Palace raid as a Subtlety Rogue. These are not complete encounter guides, but rather provide specific tips for the bosses as a Subtlety Rogue.

Subtlety Rogues are looking to be quite weak in The Eternal Palace. It is weaker than both Outlaw and Assassination in terms of output, while also suffering a lot more from raid mechanics that force you to go out of melee range. The only potential strength that Subtlety has is the ability to spec into strong 10-second burst windows, which is very situational. Barring any number tuning, Subtlety will continue to be the weakest Rogue spec by a large margin.
