Methodology

Baseline profile

SimulationCraft default Subtlety Rogue profile at current season ilvl, with every other slot fully geared and enchanted except the one being measured. Gems, consumables, and talent build track SimC head week to week.

Iteration count

50,000 iterations per enchant. Standard deviation on the DPS mean stays well under 0.5%, so the ranking deltas are reliable.

DPS gain

Each row is the mean DPS difference vs an unenchanted version of the same slot, holding everything else fixed. Cleave (3 targets, 5 minutes) is the default fight style; weapon procs that scale with target count surface higher here than on a single boss.

Source patch

SimulationCraft e8dfda300db2e5e770f879597ee436f881d1d3f1, client build 12.0.5.67186. Generated Apr 30, 2026. Re-runs every Sunday after the SimC weekly bump.

Weapon + off-hand pair

Dual-wield specs also see a combined Weapon + Off-hand panel. Each row sims a specific main-hand and off-hand pairing together, so stat-stacking interactions like mastery diminishing returns are baked into the ranking. The per-slot Weapon and Off-hand panels stay as fallbacks for one-off comparisons.

Not included

Embellishments (which you typically slot into the same equipment), jewelcrafting socket-stat variants, and tier-set interactions outside the slot being measured. For your specific build, paste your /simc string on the homepage.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best weapon enchant for Subtlety Rogue in Patch 12.0.5.67186?

Acuity Of The Rendorei ranks #1 for Subtlety Rogue in Patch 12.0.5.67186, with a +1.52% DPS gain over an unenchanted weapon. The full per-slot ranking on this page covers every current-tier enchant.

What are the top 3 enchants for Subtlety Rogue?

The highest-impact slots for Subtlety Rogue in Patch 12.0.5.67186 are weapon: Acuity Of The Rendorei (+1.52%); cloak: Homebound Speed (+0.09%); boots: Enchant Boots Shaladrassils Roots (+0.08%). Each delta is mean DPS over the unenchanted baseline across 50,000 SimulationCraft iterations.

What is the best cloak enchant for Subtlety Rogue?

The top cloak enchant for Subtlety Rogue in Patch 12.0.5.67186 is Homebound Speed, gaining +0.09% DPS over an unenchanted cloak. For comparison, the top boots enchant (Enchant Boots Shaladrassils Roots) gains +0.08% on the same baseline.

Should every Subtlety use the same enchant in every slot?

Mostly yes. The DPS deltas on this page hold all other gear fixed, so the rank-1 enchant per slot is the safe default. The exceptions are when you can't craft the rank-3 quality, when you're stat-capped (e.g. crit-rated past the soft cap), or when your tier-set bonus rewards a different secondary (the chest panel currently leads with Mark Of The Worldsoul at +1.91%); for those edge cases, sim your specific build.

Why is the weapon + off-hand pair ranked separately?

The per-slot Weapon and Off-hand panels rank each enchant in isolation, so they can miss stat-stacking interactions when the same enchant is applied to both slots (e.g. mastery DR). The Weapon + Off-hand panel sims real pairings end-to-end; the current top combo for Subtlety Rogue is Acuity Of The Rendorei on main-hand with Acuity Of The Rendorei on off-hand (+2.83%).

How often is the Subtlety Rogue enchant leaderboard updated?

Every Sunday, after the SimulationCraft weekly build refresh. The pinned SimC SHA on this page is the source of truth for the patch state.

Are these results from real character data or theorycrafted?

Real SimulationCraft sims using the canonical Rogue baseline profile. Each enchant runs 50,000 iterations against the same baseline and the page reports the DPS delta. Numbers are stat-priority averages, not your specific build; for your character, paste your /simc string on the homepage.
