Outlaw Rogue guide: builds, stats and gear from top players
Built from 30 Outlaw characters in the top Mythic+ keys we captured (EU 14, US 16, keys +15 to +23, median +21). Every figure names its sample. Updated October 5, 2026 20:29 UTC.
Paste a string into the in-game talent window (Import Loadout). Each one is a real loadout from the named sample, picked because it matches the talents most of that sample take. It is not a theorycrafted or simulated build.
Mythic+ build
Sample: the highest Mythic+ rated characters in our character crawl, which finds characters through the rated PvP ladders (US, n=50, updated October 5, 2026 09:57 UTC). This is the real loadout from that sample closest to what most of them take. It has 73 of the 73 talent picks that more than half of the sample share, plus 1 less common pick. 2 of 50 (4%) use this exact string; 45 distinct strings in the sample. The most repeated exact string is used by 3 of 50 (6%).

Sample: n=30 characters · EU 14, US 16 · keys +15 to +23, median +21 · September 22, 2026 to October 5, 2026 · updated October 5, 2026 20:29 UTC
| # | Stat | Median share of secondary rating | Median rating on gear | Highest secondary for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Critical Strike | 41.4% | 1,179 | 29 of 30 (97%) |
| 2 | Haste | 32.3% | 892 | 1 of 30 (3%) |
| 3 | Versatility | 18.7% | 524 | 0 of 30 (0%) |
| 4 | Mastery | 7.2% | 197 | 0 of 30 (0%) |
How this is computed: for each character we add up the Critical Strike, Haste, Mastery and Versatility rating printed on every equipped item, then take each stat's share of that total. The table shows the median share across the sample. Gems, enchants, buffs and talents are not included. This is what top players chose to wear, not simulated stat weights; a sim of your own character is the better tool for close calls. Stats joined by = are within 2 points of each other.

We do not list flasks, food, potions, augment runes or weapon oils. The Armory equipment data our numbers come from does not record consumables, so any list here would be a guess. Enchants and gems above are read from the gear itself.
Spells with a cooldown of 15 seconds or more, from Blizzard's client data (build 12.1.0.69933): the spec's baseline spells plus the talents in the Mythic+ build above. Cooldowns are the base values; talents, haste and set bonuses can shorten them. This is a list of buttons, not a rotation.
Major cooldowns (1 minute or longer)
| Spell | Base cooldown | Source |
|---|---|---|
 Keep It Rolling | 6 min | Talent in the Mythic+ build |
 Preparation | 4 min | Talent in the Mythic+ build |
 Adrenaline Rush | 3 min | Talent in the Mythic+ build |
 Killing Spree | 3 min | Talent in the Mythic+ build |
 Cloak of Shadows | 2 min | Talent in the Mythic+ build |

- Gear: the Blizzard Armory equipment of characters captured from the highest keys of each Mythic+ dungeon (the top runs per dungeon each week) in weekly periods 1082, 1083 (September 22, 2026 to October 5, 2026), US and EU. Each character counts once, with their most recent snapshot. n=30 for this spec. Summary generated October 5, 2026 20:29 UTC.
- Spec and key level come from the Mythic+ run listings that name the character; the spec is the one they played most in the window.
- Mythic+ build: among the highest Mythic+ rated characters in our character crawl, which finds characters through the rated PvP ladders (US, n=50), the real loadout string with the most of the talent picks that over half of the sample share. Loadouts are the character's current one, read from their profile, not the one used in a specific key.
- PvP build: the same method among the highest rated players on the current US PvP ladders (n=50, season id 42).
- Cooldowns and spell names: Blizzard client data (SpellCooldowns, Spell) at the latest retail build we hold, 12.1.0.69933.
- A spec overview is indexed only when its gear sample has at least 30 characters. Below that the page stays visible but is marked noindex.
- Nothing on this page is a simulation or an expert ranking. Most-used means most common in the named sample.
