Phase 5 brings a new glove and cloak enchants. These change a few of a rogue’s best enchants once AQ20 and AQ40 have opened. And some enchanters pick up the new recipes. Below is an updated list of the best rogue enchants rogues in Phase. What you should use when you get new AQ epics.
Best Rogue Enchants
Head
Death’s Embrace – 28 attack power & 1% dodge
- Best in slot enchant for rogues
- Get in on guild ZG idol runs for your best shot. Remember to buy a rogue voodoo doll from the AH, too.
Lesser Arcanum of Voracity – 8 agility
- A solid option if ZG enchant isn’t in the cards.
- Libram is still pricey
Shoulders
Zandalar Signet of Might – 30 attack power
- Best in slot enchant for rogues
- Requires exalted with Zandalar Tribe (ZG rep)
- You can buy coins and bijous from AH for the tokens needed, or get some on ZG idol runs
Nature Mantle of the Dawn – 5 nature resistance
- Great for your nature resistance shoulders
- If you can’t get the ZG shoulder enchant these at least offer something while running AQ
- Requires revered with Argent Dawn
Cloak – New for Phase 5
Subtlety – Decreases threat caused by 2%
- Best in slot enchant for rogues
- Requires new Nexus Crystals

Chest
Greater Stats – 4 all stats
- Best in slot enchant for rogues
- Expensive mats and need to find an enchanter outside the guild
