Combat RogueFollow

To all you combat rogues out there what weapons do you use. I hear alot use swords and maces but do you still keep a dagger for backstab? or jus stun and SS all the way. Do finishing moves like eviscerate req. a dagger? and at what level did you get the last lvl 40 ability on the tree your specializing in

I had used daggers solely for a short time, until I realized the SS potential with swords. After being trained in them, I use them to great effect. I still want to use a dagger main hand, but currently my sword is main hand only. Take it from me, use what you come across until higher level, when an entire rogue build is based around using a dagger, sword, mace, etc. Why sell that great mace when you can use it, even if you lose BS? I find that a mix of SnD and a 3 point garrate(sp?) is a wonderful combo.

I use two swords with biggest damage in main hand (ignore dps).

You should grind humanoids for serveral reasons:

1) pickpocket
2) disarm
3) cloth drops

humanoids come in 2 basic types, and the fight varies accordingly:

Melee; 2 handers and dual wielders: open with cs, ss till 5 cp's, evis, repeat. throw in a KS if they are mobs that run (also allways use crippling poison on mobs that run in fear)

Casters; open with cs, first spell interrupt is a kick, second is a ks, third (if needed) is kick again. if either kick or ks misses, gouge. It's important to keep some spare energy so you can quickly interrupt their casting.
