Rogues....

Yeah, mace Rogues need more love in future revisions, because while swords and daggers are cool, there are few things more fundamentally pimp than dual wielding beatsticks and just bonking mobs on the head like "bitch don't you talk back!"

Mace spec gets lame if you get into the Endgame, because there just... aren't any. There's *one* "good" Epic mace, it's Mainhand only, has tank stats, and isn't as good as any of the comparable swords. =\

I was maces for a good stretch of my levelling, but it just falls apart at endgame.
There's that mace from AQ, the Demolisher off Kazzak, and there'll be a new crafted one in 1.10.

Unfortunately none stack up against swords for damage. The stun effect is cool in PvP (I have a demolisher so I could respec and play with it) but can be reflected by mobs with a magic reflect sheild (Azuregos, Domo adds).

Like I said, one good mace (Spineshatter). The rest are mediocre at best.
 
I've got no problem using a sword in MH, I just want to milk maces as long as I can. I'm doing good damage and no ones complained in groups yet unless you consider "wtf, rogues can use maces?" a complaint ;). I want that Sand Polished Hammer but I have a fair amount of time before I do AQ.

Oddly enough, I'd never seen that. =p

AQ Ripper/CTS is still better than any possible mace combo though. =\
That was the AQ mace I was talking about. It's not too bad, neither is the demolisher. But there are definitely better :(

My view on maces is, If they're going to get DE'd and you have the dkp to burn pick up a demolisher/sand polished and spec maces for a weekend in PvP. It really is fun, but for the love of all that is good and holy don't use mace spec in PvE.

This is true.

I don't really see why any rogues would want to be mace when they get 60, unless they're going for GM or something. Even then, daggers > mace in pvp.

Swords and the 20/31 build just dominate damage. Couple the sword specialization with HoJ, and that's 7% for an extra attack.
 
As a warrior I've only lost to one rogue heads up.... and he used swords...I'm sure he was all epic..but I did lose to him 3 times...I could'nt figure it out either..

SnD isn't always the most efficient way to use your combo points. At least it's not for me at 60 with my gear. (*shrug*) For the 1 to 60 grind, SnD is very effective when soloing, but for 60+ that's not typically the case.

True but it is useful to get something out of going-to-be-wasted combo points in dungeons when you have 2 - 3 and the mob will be dead inside of a second. Rather have something to show for those combo points going from mob to mob.
 
Anyone an endgame sword rogue with the absolute best PVE Raiding spec? Ive stopped pvping on my rogue, and Ive got the Hakkari mainhand and about 200DKP saved for a decent MH sword (DalRends now). Anyone got suggestions?

A few of the points can be shifted around, mainly Imp. Evis is sometimes put into imp. kick or finishing dodge, but basically this is a typical massive white damage dps PVE spec. Keep slice and dice up, pop blade flurry every 2 minutes, and big eviserates = insane dps. This spec also obviously benefits from gigantic and slow weapons, so spend the DKP on (ordered by what your guild can do) Ony: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=36128 MH and MC: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=37423 offhand. If you are clearing BWL, then http://www.thottbot.com/?i=44357 MH and http://www.thottbot.com/?i=40807 offhand. AND, if you aren't clearing either, a Rend MH is fine with even an http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5241 which you can pickup for about 50-80g.

Hope this helps :sunny:
