swords vs backstab helllllllllpFollow

#1 Apr 23 2007 at 6:34 PM Rating: Decent
so iv done my homework a bit more on builds and weapon choices but im still a tad confused. Ive heard combat is good for PvE, and will ensure one to lvl a little quicker than someone who uses assassination, which iv also heard is better for pvp. I understand backstab is one of the strongest moves aside from mutilate that a rogue possess. If I go combat, should I go swords because they have bigger crits and do more dmg, or daggers to have more crits, faster attack speed, and gain moves like backstab? are they equal or is one a guarenteed stronger? And if i do go daggers, should i jsut go assassination all together? Fellow rogues... HELP!!

ps - i was also wondering if a dagger in the main hand and sword in offhand and then putting pts in dagger specialization? would that be good or is it better to stick with 2 of the same weapon???

Backstab for burst damage; Swords for steady but somewhat "heavier" damage.

I personally love the bursts of damage, rather than the boring steady hits. However, I love fast dual swords + Slice and Dice. Racking up the most DPS is all that you need to worry about. Compare and test builds; look it up. A dagger + sword can be useful, with some good offhand damage that follows a burst. It's your own style, though.

mutilate with enuf ap is the most broken thing in existence, josh says roflcopter to darren cuz he;s a noobbbbbb!!!ROFL

but anyways yeah mutilate after you can get DW spec ( only to be done at 70) or 56 when you can get 5 pts in opportunity any earlier and you are nerfing your dps big time

the most pwnage part of mutilate is how hard it hits when find weakness is up + imp Ks especially if you are an orc like my rogue and can pop bloodlust brooch and blood fury and hit 2300 ap and hope for a bloodlust brooch proc so you can down a t5 lock in between CS and KS which you can tell people would be crying after

My rogue has full subtlety builg. Tho its only lv25. Anyways ~~With good main hand dagger you can beat any monster of your level with 3-7 hits (depends how many crits you land). My max dps per fight is about 175 dp/s @ lv24.
