Subtlety Rogue best-in-slot lists
Every slot Subtlety Rogue wants in TBC Classic, phase by phase, with the enchant and the gems each pick takes. The lists are wowtbc.gg’s, vendored with this site’s data.
Subtlety Rogue, P3, slot by slot
The P3 list, the phase this page opens on. 17 slots; two sets in it (Slayer's Armor and The Twin Blades of Azzinoth).

The pair figure above was measured in one run with both hands replaced; the two per-hand figures each already contain the same set-bonus loss, so they are not halves of it.
The other phases

Where these come from
A best-in-slot list answers one question: if every drop landed your way, what would a Subtlety Rogue be wearing? This is wowtbc.gg's answer for TBC, vendored with this site's data rather than fetched live — and it is the same list the raid checker grades a Rogue against, so a page here and a verdict there cannot disagree about what BiS means.
The P3 list covers 17 slots, from the head (Cursed Vision of Sargeras) down. Each row names where the item comes from — the boss and the zone, the vendor, or the token it is traded for — with the enchant that slot wants and the gems the list prescribes. An empty off-hand row means the main-hand pick is two-handed.
Where the list wears two or more pieces of one set, the row says which set, how many pieces, and what each tier gives in the game's own words; a tier the list does not reach is marked as not reached rather than hidden. Where both pieces are weapons, a figure from wowsims' simulator says what replacing both hands at once costs — a pair is measured, never added.
Lists exist for six phases — Pre-Raid, P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5 — and each is a different set of drops, not a longer version of the last.
