Methodology

Stat weights

Each item's stats are multiplied by the Outlaw Rogue stat weights from the weekly scale-factor sim (normalized: Agility 1.00, Critical Strike 0.74, Haste 0.71, Versatility 0.65, Mastery 0.47). Full stat priority.

Trinkets

Taken from the weekly simmed trinket leaderboard, 50,000 iterations per trinket on the canonical baseline profile, since trinket value is mostly effect. Trinket leaderboard.

Item level

Raid and Mythic+ drops at the Myth 6/6 ceiling (334), crafted gear at the crafted cap, everything else at its fixed item level. Stats scaled with SimulationCraft's item scaling from the game's DB2 tables.

Tier pieces and crafted gear

Tier pieces are pinned to rank one of their slot for the set bonus. Crafted gear is priced with its two crafter-chosen secondaries set to the spec's two best stats at an even split.

Top-player check

Each slot is compared with what the top 10 Mythic+ players for the spec wear, read from their armory gear on Sep 6, 2026. Usage never reorders the list; it flags slots where the players disagree with the weights (4 here), which is where unmodelled effects or last season's gear show up. Top Outlaw players.

Not included

On-use and proc effects outside the trinket slot (flagged), embellishments, set-bonus interactions between slots, and the combined value of a full set. Rankings are per item on a fixed baseline, not a solved set. Paste your /simc string for your own gear.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best-in-slot gear for Outlaw Rogue in Patch 12.1.0.69587?

For Outlaw Rogue on cleave: Head: Chosen Bloodslayer's Spirit Shroud; Neck: Aqirbane Reliquary; Shoulder: Chosen Bloodslayer's Voodoo Guards; Back: Fireproof Drape; Chest: Chosen Bloodslayer's Banded Poncho; Wrist: Restless Spirit Shackles; Hands: Chosen Bloodslayer's Fanged Grips; Waist: Primal Dinomancer's Belt; Legs: Chosen Bloodslayer's Reinforced Pants; Feet: Bespittled Slitherslippers; Rings: Apex Brute's Claw Ring; Trinkets: Zul'jin's Guillotine Technique; Main hand: Havoc Crusher; Off hand: Havoc Crusher. Stat items are ranked by the spec's simmed stat weights and trinkets by their simmed DPS gain.

What is the best weapon for Outlaw Rogue?

Havoc Crusher, from Kokia Blazehoof, scores highest against the Outlaw Rogue stat weights at the season ceiling. If it carries a proc effect that is not in the score, so treat it as a strong candidate rather than a settled answer.

Where does Outlaw best-in-slot gear come from?

Of the 14 best-in-slot picks, 10 come from the raid, 4 from Mythic+ dungeons and 0 from crafted gear. Open the best dungeons page for a per-dungeon breakdown.

Does this match what top Outlaw Rogue players actually wear?

Mostly. The players agree with the weight top three in 10 of 14 slots. They disagree on Wrist: Silvermoon Agent's Deflectors (5/10); Feet: Silvermoon Agent's Sneakers (6/10); Main hand: Spellbreaker's Blade (6/10); Off hand: Sharpened Lightwood Slasher (7/10). Where the item they wear has a proc or on-use effect, the weights cannot value it and the players are the better guide until it is simmed.

How is this ranked without simming every item?

Each item's stats at the season ceiling are multiplied by the Outlaw Rogue stat weights (DPS per point, from the weekly scale-factor sim). Trinkets come from the simmed trinket leaderboard. Items with effects outside the trinket slot are flagged because a weight cannot value an effect.

Why is the tier piece ranked first even when another item has better stats?

The 4-set bonus is worth more than a stat difference, so tier pieces are pinned. The alternatives are what to wear before the set is complete or in the fifth tier slot.

How often is this updated?

Every Sunday after the weekly SimulationCraft bump, when the stat weights and trinket boards are resimmed. The SimC commit in the methodology is the authoritative reference.
