Outlaw Rogue Mythic+ Guide

This Hero Tree is currently not recommended.

• Makes your Ambush and Sinister Strike hit your target with an Unseen Blade. 10sec duration, 20sec Cooldown.
  • Unseen Blade applies Fazed, making the target take 5% more damage from you and being unable to parry, which is pretty nice.
  • Unseen Blade also applies 1 stack of Escalating Blade as a buff on you.
    • At 4 stacks of Escalating Blade, your next Dispatch becomes Coup de Grace.
  • Coup de Grace hits your target as if your Dispatch had an extra 5 Combo Points.
    • This ability currently has a 1.2GCD lock and a lot of bugs.
    • I could start listing the bugs of this ability and the tree itself, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of new ones popping up by the time the guide is out.

The rest of the tree in general has some interesting talents, but current tuning, plus the GCD lock of Coup de Grace among other bugs makes Fatebound a better choice.

• Mirrors
  • This is a pretty nice defensive that adds some tankyness to your kit.
• Flawless Form
  • This is a synergistic talent in the tree that outside of being a flat % buff on your finishers, work with Nimble Flurry and Coup de Grace.
• So Tricky
  • This is a pretty nice quality of life talent, especially for Mythic+.
• Nimble Flurry
  • Flawless Form has pretty good uptime so a flat damage buff on your cleave is decent.
• Disorienting Strikes
  • Unfortunate that Killing Spree is the ability that triggers this for Outlaw, but a significant talent for the spec nonetheless.

19% Haste Requirement.

When to use this Spec

This spec performs better than the Hidden Opportunity alternative in M+ situations but has a much higher haste requirement at 19%~

Gameplay Altering Talents

Discover all talents that significantly alter your gameplay within the Spec and Class Talent trees. This section gives a concise overview of these talents and their applications but for a more detailed look check out the Rotation and Deep Dive sections below.

Spec Tree

• Keep it Rolling
  • This talent allows you to "save" your buffs by extending them by 30 seconds, and also making you unable to reroll them away with your next Roll the Bones.
• Crackshot
  • This is the talent that every spec is currently playing and is centered around, making your Between the Eyes have no cooldown when used from stealth, which is where the Subterfuge synergy comes in. Also, it auto casts Dispatch with your Between the Eyes.
• Underhanded Upper Hand
  • Used mostly to extend Adrenaline Rush uptime with Vanish.

Class Tree

• Without a Trace
  • With the removal of Shadow Dance, having double Vanish charges to extend your Subterfuge windows is a great advantage.
• Supercharger
  • The new talent replacing Echoing Reprimand. Adds a bit of flavor to Roll the Bones but doesn't significantly change when you roll. More on that in the Deep Dive section below.

Hero Talents

• Death's Arrival
  • This is one of the better mobility talents to have when you have to cover a large amount of space.
• Destiny Defined
  • We pick this talent since Outlaw doesn't like playing Cold Blood.

Opener

1. Unlike Hidden Opportunity, Keep it Rolling does not use Ambush at all.

Before Pull

1. Cast Stealth
2. Cast Roll the Bones

As always, Opportunity, Audacity procs, Broadside proc, can alter this rotation a bit. Refer to the priority list for your opener.

Priority List

1. Cast Roll the Bones if you have 1 buff with Loaded Dice Active. More on that under Deep Dive.
2. Use Keep it Rolling at 4 or more buffs if Broadside or Ruthless Precision is one of them.
3. Cast Adrenaline Rush on cooldown with 2 or less Combo Points.
4. Cast Ghostly Strike on cooldown ideally before a finisher.
5. If Adrenaline Rush is active and Between the Eyes is on cooldown:
   • Cast Vanish with 6 or more Combo Points to use Between the Eyes right after.
6. Cast Between the Eyes as a finisher in Subterfuge windows with 5 Combo Points or more. More information on Between the Eyes usage under Deep Dive.
7. Cast Between the Eyes as a finisher outside of Subterfuge with Ruthless Precision or to keep your buff up.
8. Cast Dispatch at 6 or more Combo Points.
9. Cast Pistol Shot with Opportunity buff at 3 or less Combo Points or at 6 stacks of Opportunity.
   • Cast Pistol Shot with Opportunity buff at 1 or less Combo Point or at 6 stacks of Opportunity while Broadside is active.
10. Cast Sinister Strike at 5 or less Combo Points outside your Stealth windows.

• Use your Feint for Dark Pulse. This happens at 100 boss energy.

• Use Feint for Earth Shatterer.
• You can make sure of your Cloak of Shadows on Volatile Spike on the floor if you haven't cleared them all and the boss is casting Earth Shatterer.

Skarmorak

• Depending on your comp, you might have to end up sitting on the Crystals quite a bit. Do not kill more than 1 at the same time, and generally try to cleave from the boss.
• Use your Feint before Unstable Crash happens or while you have multiple stacks of Unstable Energy.
• Make sure to pick up the orbs so that you can damage the shield during Void Discharge.
• Void Discharge is the best time to use your Cloak of Shadows, or alternatively use your Feint to mitigate its damage.

Master Machinists Brokk and Dorlita

• Lava Expulsion hitbox is pretty big, make sure you are not in the way and dont stand too close to the boss.
• Kick Molten Metal.

Anub'ikkaj

• Move in a way so that Dark Orb has a long travel distance and doesn't instantly hit a wall. Regardless, make use of your Feint when it explodes as it still deals significant damage..
• Stun Animate Shadows with Shadowfury.
• Use your Feint for the Shadowy Decay channel.

Rasha'nan

• When you get targeted by Rolling Acid, check where the beam is going towards and place it so that you don't hit any of your party members.
  • The side that the beam is going to shoots towards is the side your line is on.
  • In Phase 2 the beam removes the Spinneret's Strands and creates smaller green pools on the floor, so be mindful of that.

Boss Tips

Ingra Maloch

• Interrupt Spirit Bolt every time a non-tank player is targeted.
• Ideally use your Feint on Repulsive Visage so that you take minimal damage during it. Cloak of Shadows works aswell if used within 1 second of the cast ending.

Mistcaller

• Blind the Illusionary Vulpins to prevent them from reaching their target.
  • If your group is not crowd-controlling the Illusionary Vulpins use Crippling Poison for this fight but make sure you don't step too close.
• Use your Feint or Cloak of Shadows during the Guessing Game.
  • While you are moving towards the add that needs to die, make sure to watch the boss for the lines as they can be very deadly if you get hit by multiple, and its easy forget about them with the boss at the opposite side of the room.

Tred'ova

• You can try to stay on your tank to minimize movement on this fight. Generally, the boss's hitbox is very small and you want to minimize the amount of spread from Acid Expulsion.

  • Spirit Bolt from Drust Harvester.

Amarth, The Harvester

• Try to use your Shadowstep to Kick the Reanimated Mage adds that are far away, its very important that you get them close to the boss quickly.

Surgeon Stitchflesh

• Ideally if you don't need to extend your Adrenaline Rush after your opener, you could save your cooldowns for when the boss gets dragged down.

Nalthor the Rimebinder

• Using your Grappling Hook while Dark Exile projectile is flying can make you avoid being sent down.
  • Do note that you still die after 50 seconds after doing this. It's a gain if the boss has low health or the targeted player could struggle in the extra phase.
  • Don't do it if you have 0 combat resurrections ready!
• You can use your Cloak of Shadows on Comet Storm.
