SUBTLETY ROGUE

Threat Extreme · How to fight them

Kick

Do not interrupt the Subtlety rogue. Kick their healer the moment the rogue opens. Cheap Shot and Kidney Shot are instants — your kick cannot stop them.

Watch for

Shadow Dance plus Kidney Shot on the same target is the kill. Smoke Bomb cuts your healer off the peel. They Cloak of Shadows your first magic CC, then restun.

Defensives

Stop magic into Cloak of Shadows — swap to physical or sit. Do not melee Evasion. Feint is only AoE DR; chip is fine. Vanish is a second opener, not just an escape.

CC

Do not trinket Cheap Shot — Kidney Shot is the stun that kills. Blind is magic, dispel it. Gouge sets the next Kidney Shot. Step out of Smoke Bomb to peel.

Kill window

Go when Cloak of Shadows and Evasion are both down and Shadow Dance is not active. After a wasted Kidney Shot, or when Smoke Bomb expires and your healer can see.

Biggest mistake

Trinketing Cheap Shot instead of holding it for Kidney Shot, or dumping your magic cooldowns into Cloak of Shadows.
