Subtlety Rogue Stat Priority
Mastery > Versatility > Critical Strike > Haste
Our main focus should be on Mastery, which continues to be a strong staple for Subtlety as we want to achieve the most amount of damage coming out of our finishers.
Beyond this stat, we want to obtain a solid amount of Versatility to apply onto our character. Versatility grants us a solid balance of both offense and defense, and is an excellent stat for PvP overall.
You’ll then want to allocate the rest of your stats outside of Mastery into Critical Strike. Having a solid amount of this stat strengthens your burst window, resulting in a higher chance to land huge numbers on Eviscerate to execute stun-locked targets.
Lastly, Haste will be your last priority as we already receive enough ways to generate Energy through Thistle Tea to where this stat is always avoided.

Trinkets
- Trinket 1: Forged Gladiator’s Badge of Ferocity
- Trinket 2: Forged Gladiator’s Medallion
When it comes to trinkets, the offensive option is the Forged Gladiator’s Badge of Ferocity. This is an excellent choice when pairing with your Shadow Blades, as the extra Agility may just be enough to score kills.
You will then need a Forged Gladiator’s Medallion to break out of CC every 2 minutes.
Humans then have the option to drop the Forged Gladiator’s Medallion for Forged Gladiator’s Insignia of Alacrity. This is due to Human having access to Will to Survive for breaking out of crowd control. However, the Medallion is more preferred to use as a Human Subtlety Rogue, granting you more frequent access to a CC removal, as you will be able to rotate through the Forged Gladiator’s Medallion and Will to Survive every 90 seconds.

Best Subtlety Rogue Gems
Core Gems: Enduring Bloodstone + Versatile Onyx
In The War Within, you will use a Vicious Jeweler’s Setting to add sockets to your Helmet, Neck, Bracers, Belt and Rings. Two sockets can be added to the Neck and Rings.
As Versatility and Mastery are your best secondary stats, you will want to both gem and enchant it wherever possible. Enduring Bloodstone will be our newly introduced PvP gem that can only be attributed once onto your character’s gem slots. This will give you some additional damage reduction when affected by Crowd Control.
For all gem slots, we will use Versatile Onyx, as this provides the best overall boost to your favored stats.

Cloak: Chant of Leeching Fangs
Chest: Crystalline Radiance
Bracers: Chant of Armored Speed
