I tried to get it so he could have as much damage as possible from backstab, while also increasing critical strike chances, and building on my dodge, this way, my backstab, then gouge, will already have the mob screwed.

Then, if I dodge an attack, Riposte comes into activation, and I do an attack that deals 150% damage. Also, if I need to, and think I'm gonna get really screwed, I'll use Bladefury and Ghostly strike, increasing attack speed, attacking enemies near me, increasing my dodge percentage (also giving more of a chance to get Riposte), and gain a couple combo points.

I could be taking it a little out of proportion, but, I think this would be a good set-up.

Yeah, I'm going Undead as well. >; ).

About the most extra damage you can add to the class, and a few overall nice tidbits as well. If I had one more point, I would finish Mental Strength. I might drop Shadowform for it.

Disclaimer to a would-be priest: if you intend on being a completely healing-centric priest, you will obviously not want to use this build. Coming off my experience from Everquest, I would look at this kinda funny, but after playing the game, I find this suits my style better.

In reality, going as far as Mind Flay is probably sufficient for just a taste of shadow. Guildmate of mine plans on doing Shadow to Mind Flay, Discipline to Mental Strength, and the rest in Holy. She said it works rather well for her.

Wait... Rogues can dual-wield maces? I thought a Rogue HAD to have atleast one dagger, I remember I tried dual-wielding swords, and ended up having to sell one that I just bought; for less.

Hmm, can anyone confirm that maybe they changed it so Rogues can dual-wield swords/ maces?


Also, nice job Warf on the Rogue, only, I'd take out Mace Specialization, Rapid Concealment, and Elusiveness, use those three points to boost a different talent.

I remember now, Creamed. There's a distinction between "main-hand" and "one-hand" weapons. Most weapons are main-hand, but a few are "one-hand". It's the latter that you can dual-wield with, it's not the type of weapon that matters. The sword you tried to use was probably a "main-hand" sword.

Which means that, if you can find a "one-hand" mace, you can dual wield with it. There are only 25 such weapons in-game right now (according to Thottbot), and most have fair level requirements. The first are available at 16, and proceed from there. (Then again, you'd have to be fairly high level to get access to the Mace talents.) But if you find one and have a mace in each hand, that 5% will start occurring more than your opponents might like.

Edit: yes, Warf, you were probably better off taking out the one point of mace specialization. One point in any of the x/5 talents is probably a waste, that's another reason why I objected to the 1/5 Sword Specialty. I mean, if you're gonna go maces, go maces. Don't put one point in it, because that's just not a good enough reason to choose a mace over a weapon with higher DPS. And if you're not using maces, then what good is the specialty? Having 5 points in one specialty is enough to push that type of weapon over another even if the DPS is lower; one is not.
