Subtlety Rogue

Master Subtlety Rogue in Legion Remix with our detailed guide. Discover the best artifact paths, optimal talents, stat priorities, and strategies to maximize your damage and stealth gameplay.

Best Artifact Path: Fel Path

Twisted Crusade

Pure damage output with aggressive burst windows

Calls in a subjugated Dreadlord that rains meteor fire and can be detonated for a Felspike nova.

Mechanics:

  • Fel Touched stacks blow up every four seconds, rewarding sustained cleave
  • Touch of Malice guarantees Twisted Crusade crits and spreads Fel Touched faster
  • I Am My Scars reflects enemy hits for Chaos damage, ideal for tanks and soloing
  • Felspike replaces Twisted Crusade after cast, letting you sacrifice the Dreadlord for massive AoE

Best For:

Single-target boss encountersRaid contentCleave and AoE damage when packs survive for Fel explosionsMax-level DPS optimization and tank threat bursts
