Class Talents

The KiR build and the HO build for Outlaw have many high-value, overlapping talents. The big one is Crackshot. This allows us to cast Between the Eyes with no cooldown during Subterfuge, which makes Without a Trace, and Ace Up Your Sleeves essential. Another high-value talent around Stealth is Underhanded Upper Hand, which causes Adrenaline Rush to not lose duration during Stealth or Subterfuge. The last big one is Fan the Hammer, which upgrades your Opportunity procs from generating 2 combo points to generating 4.

The two different builds are focused around the 2 capstones, Hidden Opportunity and Keep it Rolling. Hidden Opportunity also allows Ambush to proc Opportunity. This works great with the other talent Audacity, which causes Opportunity procs to allow you to cast Ambush while out of Stealth.

On the other hand, Keep It Rolling allows you to extend your currently active Roll the Bones buffs by 30 seconds, which is very synergistic with Loaded Dice and Count the Odds.

Hero Talents

There isn't much to say when it comes to hero talents for rogue.

The Trickster hero talent is undertuned for the spec, filled with bugs, and overall clunky gameplay with Coup de Grace having an extra long GCD. It also requires you to talent into Killing Spree which is a death wish for any high end content

This leaves us with Fatebound which is an almost entirely passive talent tree. The main concept of this hero talent is that you flip a coin whenever you spend 5 or more combo points on a finisher. Heads will cause you to deal additional damage to the target, meanwhile, Tails will do cosmic damage to the target. The more of a matching face you flip in a row will increase the effect of the buff they provide. The capstone will grant you a 7% agility buff whenever you flip 7 of the same face in a row. Achieving 7 in a row a second time will deal additional cosmic damage.

There are a few talents such as Mean Streak, or Double Jeopardy that will help you stack the same side in a row, but there is no room to optimize your gameplay and proc this effect more consistently.
