This section of the Subtlety Rogue guide explains the best possible choices for the Netherlight Crucible, important traits and relic bonuses, and how to progress through your Subtlety Rogue artifact weapon Fangs of the Devourer. This guide is written by
Gray_Hound
, a Rogue in SPK. You can watch Gray_Hound on
Twitch
. Updated for the latest patch.
Artifacts in Battle for Azeroth
As of June 26th, completing the quest
The Power in Our Hands
will further empower your Artifact Weapon, enabling all traits and at least
Concordance of the Legionfall
level 75, further increasing in power over time until the Battle for Azeroth pre-expansion patch.
Therefore, only the Netherlight Crucible recommendations are relevant on this guide page leading up to BFA, as you already receive all Artifact Traits by default. This makes content easier to complete, especially some
content going away
such as
Ahead of the Curve
and
Mage Tower Challenges
.
In the
BFA pre-patch
, your Artifact Traits will be removed, and relics will simply increase the item level of your artifact weapon. However, many artifact traits are returning as talents or azerite powers in Battle for Azeroth and we have a compiled a
full list you can read here
.
Moving forward in Battle for Azeroth, you will still be able to acquire the Artifact Weapon which will mainly interest transmog collectors for the appearances. Learn how to unlock all appearances in BFA with our
Artifact Appearance Guide
.
Netherlight Crucible
The
Netherlight Crucible
is a new system added in Patch 7.3. The Crucible allows you further empower your Subtlety Rogue Artifact Weapon, by specializing and increasing the power from your relics. With it, each relic receives a small talent tree that you can select new traits from, depending how many traits your weapon have. Do not worry, however, because with the changes to
Artifact Knowledge
, unlocking the full power of the Crucible won't take long. Learn everything about this new system in our
Netherlight Crucible Guide
. With the opening of
Antorus, the Burning Throne
, it is now possible to obtain
Insignia of the Grand Army
, which increases the potency of your Tier 2 Crucible traits by 50%. It might be a really strong legendary if you are lucky with Netherlight Crucible rolls!

empowered
Nightblade

Empowered Traits
New traits explanation
not the strongest, but solid trait once we consider that it effectively has 100% uptime
a nice trait, which helps provide extra energy regeneration, and in small chunks lowering the chance of over-capping energy.
once again helps us with energy management and allows us to burst easier
Recommended Subtlety Rogue Artifact trait path
Other traits are significantly weaker, and thus can be chosen by personal preference.

Your third golden artifact trait is
Shadow Nova
:
Take the increased critical strike chance on

after
