Subtlety Rogue Gearing Guide

Subtlety Rogue Season 2 Tier Set Bonus:

• (2) Set Bonus: Your spells have a chance to activate Winning Streak, which increases the damage of your Eviscerate, Black Powder and Secret Technique by 2% stacking up to 8 times for a maximum of 16% more damage, however Eviscerate, Black Powder and Secret Technique also have a 15% chance to remove Winning Streak completely.
• (4) Set Bonus: While Shadow Dance is active you can no longer lose the stacks of Winning Streak and every time you would get a stack you are now granted 2 instead of 1, and for each stack you deal an additional 2% shadow damage per stack up to a total of 16% more shadow damage.

You should still prioritize the gear you use by running a sim for your character, but the lists below will give you a good idea of what items are considered good for Subtlety Rogue, and help you target the right content for each piece of loot.

• Raiding
• Mythic+

Treacherous Transmitter: Gonna be our early season BiS until you get a high item level House of Cards, the way you wanna play it is macro it onto Flagellation and complete the task just as you press your first Secret Technique.

House of Cards: A pretty straight forward 1min 30seconds on-use trinket that you just wanna pair up with your cooldowns.

Eye of Kezan: A passive trinket that slowly ramps up in how many stats it gives while in combat and when it reaches max stacks (20) you start dealing damage with each proc.

Recommended Embellishments:

• Elemental Focusing Lens
• Duskthread Lining
• Dawnthread Lining

All three of these embellishment perform very similar to each other one drawback from the lining ones are that you need to stay above 80% health as much as possible whereas the Focusing Lens is just a stable damage proc, personally I recommend going with the Focusing Lens for a more consistent option.

Best D.I.S.C Belt & Miniature Titan Disc Effects

Patch 11.1.7 adds this new belt Durable Information Securing Container which actually give a good bit of power providing about 2% more damage, ill quickly go over what powers to use with it

Both Critical Chain and Static Charge are very close in output and its best advised to sim these yourself as it can vary between what gear you currently have.

• Single target: Critical Chain or Static Charge
• M+: Critical Chain or Static Charge

For more information about unlocking the DISC belt and the different Miniature Titan Disc effects available, check out Method's D.I.S.C Belt Guide.

Puzzling Cartel Chips (Dinar)

How you wanna spend your Dinars purely depends on what gear you already currently have and of course due to restrictions it has with needing to kill the raid bosses on a given difficulty, you need to make that decision for yourself but here is the priority I would recommend.

• The Jastor Diamond
• House of Cards
• Eye of Kezan
• Improvised Seaforium Pacemaker

Corruptions

Soon they will bring back corruptions as a new head enchant for us to use in the 11.1.5 and 11.1.7 patch and these are what you should be aiming for to get as a Subtlety Rogue

For single target you should be getting the Greater Rune of Echoing Void

For AoE you should be looking to get Greater Rune of the Void Ritual

Cyrce’s Circlet

Patch 11.0.7 adds this new ring, Cyrce’s Circlet, similar to what we had back in Dragonflight and it is currently 2.4% better than our 2nd best option, ill quickly go over which gems you should get for it.
