A core choice at the start of your journey in the Shadowlands will have you decide where your allegiance lies; would you rather support the Kyrian of Bastion, the Necrolords of Maldraxxus, the Night Fae of Ardenweald, or the Venthyr of Revendreth?
While the decision of your Covenant is impactful, it is a choice that can be changed quickly once you reach Shadowlands' endgame. Through this choice, your rotation changes, certain bonuses appear in dungeons for your entire group, and you are able to follow the story in different paths.
In this Shadowlands guide, we will help you choose the right covenant for your playstyle, based on how much they impact your performance as a Outlaw Rogue, updated for .

Outlaw Rogue
. I raid mythic on Mal'Ganis but a lot of my time is spent in the

Best Covenants for Outlaw Rogues
If you want to min-max your Covenant pick, here is a summary of how the Covenants look in Raids and Mythic+ content. You can click on each Covenant to go to their corresponding guide page. That said, each Covenant's best options are generally close enough that, similar to races, you should not feel bad for choosing whatever Covenant you prefer.

Keep in mind that this guide focuses primarily on a DPS throughput perspective. Every Covenant has a lot of utility and survivability options and if you have good reason to go for those over min-maxing damage, then please do so. The purpose of this guide is not to tell you what to pick but only give a comment on where some strengths lie. Furthermore, we are mostly looking at the fully unlocked Covenants. In the early game of the expansion, things can fluctuate as you unlock more and more soulbinds, soulbind traits, and conduit slots.
Covenant Choice Changes with Patch 9.2.5 for Outlaw Rogue
Due to the large buffs to Outlaw, a lot of the gearing choices both from legendaries, and covenants has shaken up quite a bit. Originally,
狂热鞭笞
and
恐惧之刃
looked great, but now
隐秘短枪
has really become kind of insane when combined with the 4 set, and Venthyr which basically kills the original build straight up.
Though the overall evaluations of the covenants is quite similar. Venthyr continues to be the king of single target, Necrolord continues to be the king of AoE, and Kyrian continues to be the best well rounded option that has become a bit trickier with the inclusion of
提神影尘
ending up with around 75 APM which can be a little much to deal with for most people.
The free covenant change allows for more flexibility in switching covenants for both Mythic+ related reasons or potentially for different raid encounters. Keep in mind that this will require releveling multiple covenants, and with current tuning for Outlaw covenants, it ends up being a 2-3% difference between all except Night Fae.
Double Legendary Covenant Evaluation
Double legendaries for Outlaw doesn't have any bearing on what covenant ends up the best. For the most part, a second legendary just makes the best covenants even stronger. Kyrian, Venthyr, and Necrolord with single legendary, and double legendary remain equally powerful, and have the same strengths and weaknesses.
Best Outlaw Rogue Covenants for Raiding
When it comes to raiding Venthyr, and Kyrian are the strongest 2 picks. While Venthyr remains unpopular for Outlaw but is gaining a lot of popularity recently, it is the strongest covenant for Outlaw when it comes to pure single target damage. Also thanks to
狂热鞭笞
it gives Outlaw access to burst damage which can be useful for fights that need that added burst damage to it. Kyrian is slightly behind in pure single target throughput when compared to Venthyr but it has other benefits. The main benefit is having more cleave damage than Venthyr due to the fact that
申斥回响
works with
剑刃乱舞
unlike
狂热鞭笞
.
Best Outlaw Rogue Covenants for Mythic+
Mythic plus is a bit more complicated to address. Due to the fact that Outlaw has 3 very strong covenant choices where all of them have their own set of strengths in output, ease of use, or just damage profile, it gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to pushing into high tier keys. For example, if your Mythic+ group consists of no Venthyr it's highly suggested to go Venthyr to fill in that gap to get the dungeon buffs.
It raw output, the best covenant would be Necrolord but it requires good use of
锯齿骨刺
to really get the advantage of it. Kyrian ends up being the "no brainer" choice as it does similar cleave damage, more single target, and it's much harder to make mistakes with when compared to
锯齿骨刺
Why It's Really Up to You in the End
I have to stress it YET AGAIN. Covenants are a core choice of the expansion. They will accompany you throughout the entire expansion. They will serve as your hub and home that you will spend time with. Covenants are about zones, factions, with their lore, and tons of cosmetic things like transmogs, mounts, and more.
Choosing a covenant based on what's best for damage is akin to choosing a race based on what’s best for damage. You can make that choice, but you might not end up enjoying your time. Having fun translates into playing better and doing more DPS. If you dislike your new home zone and lose motivation to improve based on choosing the covenant that is an arbitrary best, then you made the wrong decision.
While you can change them, my recommendation to anyone who is in the target audience for this guide: Check all of them out, use the zone abilities while leveling to test the abilities, get familiar with the zones, lore, and look at the soulbinds. Then go for what you like. Please.

Outlaw Rogue Covenant Analysis
Kyrian
The class ability is
申斥回响
, which has fairly good throughput. It is a strong hitting ability every 45 seconds just on its own. Then, there is an overcharged combo-point that, when consumed by using a damage-dealing finisher at that amount of combo points, will make the finisher work as if it used 7 combo points. The mini-game to meet a specific combo point threshold is not everyone's favorite but it usually works out within the 45s timeframe anyway, does not require much of a gameplay adjustment, and does not hurt too much if you miss it either.
Then, there is the very convenient signature ability
召唤执事者
. Not only does it provide some daily gimmicks like repair, talent changes, or playing music, it also gives you an additional source of healing and a powerful cleansing effect that works with a number of debuffs from raids and dungeons.
As far as soulbinds are concerned, Kleia is a super underrated choice currently. Due to
寒冬之风
being so dominant for Outlaw as fair as raid evaluation goes, this soulbind gives you access to a lot of free crit which is super valuable. Keep in mind when simming against Mikanikos that as intermissions, and heavy movement will hurt
行动的召唤：布隆
, and
照亮道路
undersims on a lot of encounters as raidbots has the uptime for it set up to proc way more frequently than it does on most encounters. Mikanikos is also very good as he provides two quite powerful traits with
灵魂光谱仪
and
溢流心能加速器
.
源生重槌
is also super powerful for Mythic+.
The full package makes the noble defenders of Bastion are a fair all-around choice with a flexible package of benefits for offensive and defensive purposes.
They also overlap well with the Subtlety spec, being good when playing both.
Necrolord
The Necrolord ability,
锯齿骨刺
, is a relatively fun one to play with. It has three charges and on each use provides combo points, instant damage, and applies an endless (until the target leaves combat) damage over time effect. The number of combo points you gain is based on the number of active debuffs. Charges are refunded if the target dies. The most interesting part about this for Outlaw Rogues is that the instant damage translates into
剑刃乱舞
.
The signature ability,
血肉铸造
, can be a very interesting defensive ability in some situations. It requires you to channel for three seconds (and be stationary during it unless you have picked Emeni and sacrificed a potency conduit in your soulbind tree). Not bad at all but I think the other signature spells are more generally useful than this one.
The soulbinds are somewhat "numerically dominated" by Heirmir, who offers a number of good increases like
炉脉幻想
,
海尔米尔的军械库：髓噬宝石
,
切肉者之眼
, and
记忆装备
.
Because of the interaction with
剑刃乱舞
, Necrolords are arguably the best AoE covenant for Outlaw. Otherwise, they end up pretty much on par with the rest. If you play Assassination alongside Outlaw, this is a good pick to cover both specs.
Night Fae
The Night Fae offer the class ability
败血刃伤
. This ability is mainly a pretty strong damage over time effect with good damage per execution. If the target survives the entire duration of the DoT, there is a powerful damage tick and, as a little bonus, you get a buff allowing you to use one stealth-requiring ability (without empowering synergies like
刺客大师印记
, since this is not true Stealth). Should the target die before the DoT expires, the cooldown is instead reduced by a third.
A neat addition to the Rogue utility kit is the signature ability
灵魂变形
which adds a directional teleport and movement speed increase alongside
抓钩
. This is very flexible mobility that is always nice to have. It is also worth noting that Soulshape lasts indefinitely when you are in rested areas.
The Night Fae soulbinds are also a solid package. Korayn offers
荒猎团战术
,
狂野狩猎策略
and
争先打击
that shine if there are regularly incoming adds or a lot of trash pulls in dungeons. Niya has the good starter power
林地复兴
and a pretty strong Renown 30 tier. Dreamweaver also gets a pretty good final power with
梦境探索者
.
All of this together makes Night Fae a fine covenant choice with a good package. It's currently just not having the most impressive numbers in comparison to other covenants for this and the other specs. The weak covenant legendary does not help remedy that either.
Venthyr
The vampiric inhabitants of Revendreth provide some gothic flavor and can be considered a strong single target damage Covenant.
As the class ability,
狂热鞭笞
is a very interesting addition to the class toolkit that combines damage with a potent stat buff. When using the ability, it does a moderate amount of instant damage. For the next 12s, whenever you use a finisher, the target will be lashed at again with the damage scaling with the number of combo points spent. For each combo point, you also get a stack on a Haste buff (up to 30). After the 12s are over or your target dies early, the buff will persist your Haste stacks for another 12s. If the target did die early, it also seems to grant 10 stacks for free as compensation for the time lost.
With
暗影之门
, the signature ability is a bit disappointing for Rogues though. While a free teleport with a target circle can be a nice idea, it has a 1.5s cast time that negates some of the benefit. While the ability can be improved with soulbind tree choices, it is not very impressive and does not add that much alongside the movement utility that is already present in the Rogue toolkit.
The soulbinds are generally looking fine with each of them providing some increases. Nadjia looks good in general and offers
兴奋追猎者
,
致命缺陷
, and
无畏决斗者
for more damage. Theotar also come in with a powerful flask-like power called
小队恩惠
.
Overall, the Covenant is good and slightly focused on single target oriented damage. Not the numerically best pick for Outlaw but quite amazing for Assassination and Subtlety.
Have fun with your Covenant choice. If you find yourself unhappy with your covenant, you can always change covenants. There are catch up systems in place so that it won't take too long to get your renown back. You will have to start again on the buildings and (covenant-specific) mission table adventures though.
