Outlaw Rogue PvP Best Arena Compositions — The War Within (11.0.5)
Team composition in 2v2 or 3v3 Arena is very important, because not all classes work well together. Here, we give you the best compositions you can have for your Outlaw Rogue (i.e., the best classes to pair with it).
This page is part of our Outlaw Rogue PvP Guide.
2v2 Arena
Outlaw Rogue in 2v2 is mostly played with a healer as Outlaw requires time to ramp up. It shines when the game drags on a bit as it is durable, has great sustained damage, and has powerful crowd control tools. Your role will be to deal as much damage as possible while keeping the enemy team in CC as much as you can with Blind, Sap, Gouge, and Kidney Shot. The talent Blinding Powder is of great help there as it makes Blind a short cooldown. You will want to play with healers who bring damage to the table and good CC to follow up your own or with healers who enjoy sitting back and winning in dampening, as Outlaw is performing well there. Playing with a Priest would be the most damage-oriented comp as they deal a lot of damage and help with CC on your goes while playing with a Monk or an Druid will allow you to survive deep into dampening as these healers have high healing output and don't run out of mana easily.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 2v2:
- Outlaw Rogue + Restoration Druid
- Outlaw Rogue + Discipline Priest/Holy Priest
- Outlaw Rogue + Preservation Evoker
3v3 Arena
Your role in 3v3 is similar to 2v2 Arena, in a way. You will still be focusing on dealing great sustained damage to one target while crowd-controlling the enemy team as much as possible. The key difference is that since there is a third enemy, it will be harder to set up your kills without being denied. Because you have so much crowd control, it will often be your job to take care of the third enemy to enable your team's burst. For instance, if you play with a Retribution Paladin and a healer you would Kidney Shot the healer and Gouge the second DPS while your Paladin stuns the kill target and bursts it down. You also have multiple options to help your team when the enemies are using cooldowns with Dismantle and Gouge, so it will also be your responsibility to help out your team when under pressure.
Here is a list of the best team compositions for 3v3:
- RMP/D (Outlaw Rogue + Frost Mage/Fire Mage/Arcane Mage + Discipline Priest/Restoration Druid)
- RLD/P/S (Outlaw Rogue + Destruction Warlock + Restoration Druid/ Restoration Druid/Restoration Shaman)
- R/WW/E (Outlaw Rogue + Windwalker Monk + Preservation Evoker)
- Thug Cleave (Outlaw Rogue + Beast Mastery Hunter/ Survival Hunter/Marksmanship Hunter + Discipline Priest/Holy Priest)
