I’ve been doing all the dungeons now after hitting 70 as an Outlaw Rogue and finishing the campaign. Every single dungeon I go in I am last in DPS. Another 70 Outlaw Rogue who had 20 less ilvl than me did 4 times as much DPS than me.
Check out icyveins and wowhead for viable builds. Also if you need help with optimal, rotation download the addon herorotation it’s great a great way to learn the best rotation for dps.
It’s an icy veins copy. Sinister striker, roll the bones, increase attack speed, inbetween the eyes for more crit, keeping energy up constantly with thistle tea and adrenaline rush, blade furrying when more than one mob. The Rogue just did so much more damage…
u can try my build (import for outlaw)

if this is not going to help u get better dps then u gotta change your rotation, also check ur poisons, apply instant poison atleast
usually ur rotation/opener is going to be like this stealth-roll-ambush-snd-adrenaline-ghostly strike-echo reprimand-dreadblades-between the eyes-and cycle sinister-dispatch(max cp) pistol shot(IF PROC only, higher priority over anything else if u dont have cp, if u max cp and have chance to land between the eyes (with 4+ cp) before procced pistol then do it)
u gotta maintain between the eyes and SnD 100% uptime, land ghostly strike when possible
spend like 15-30 mins on training dummy and u will shine
If you don’t use the best buil, rotation and playstyle for the specific content you are doing then you’re feckt… so much for “freedom of choice” if you don’t conform you’re stuck at bottom.
If you have a shadow priest in the party and then a monk and a demon hunter as the dps, the shadow priest doesn’t even have time to get their damage going before everything is dead in normal mythics. Shadow priests damage is going to be really bad until the mobs start surviving for a longer amount of time so they can actually get their damage going.
I have found the same thing - I have found highest DPS of rogues is coming from - still trying to crack that 20k plus dps.
1 - Subtlety AOE Black powder builds -
Sh Dance - Multi Ruppy - Sepsis - Shuriken (for full combo points - one target = 1 combo point) - B.Powder.
Repeat over and over. Macro tea with Shuriken - Macro cold blood with B.P.
2 - Outlaw with blade flurry etc, probably swords. Don’t know much about this yet.
Not only am I struggling with dps in dungeons pvp is another world in retail. Im new to Retail and IMO it is so much harder to fathom and play a rogue than in classic.
