Slow main hand fast offhand.Ben Reed said:Does weapon speed matter for sword Rogues (for leveling)? Right now my little level 25-ish Combat Rogue is wielding two 2.60-ish speed Swords, and since I'm a terrible Rogue as-is, I don't want to look stupider than I probably already am.
P.S. Sucks how much stuff you have to grind as Rogue...cooking for tea (I know it only requires like 90 cooking, but it's so aggravating having to kill all those damn Westfall vultures/boars for hours trying to get Small Egg/Chunk of Boar Meat to drop), Poisons, lockpicking...shit, my attention span is taxed to the limit just grinding weapon skills and Herbalism on my Warrior.

Weapon speed does matter for instant attacks still, all that got normalized were attack power gains.
Bluey McBluerstein said:As of patch 1.8, attack speed has no bearing on your primary special attacks (SS, Backstab, and Ambush). These all now use a "normalized" speed for attack power calculations. Daggers use 1.7, other 1h weapons use 2.4. So, for looking at which weapon will do the most main hand special attack damage, the sole determining factor is the damage range.
Yeah, that's what I meant.Gringo said:No. no no no.
Instant attacks are now normalized. Swords - 2.4. Daggers - 1.7 Maces - no one fucking cares cuz they're lame anyway.
Man, wishing you had reread that, didn't ya?
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. =\Fi. said:I've got a mace rogue, I quite like it. I've been using maces since about level 45, swords before that. I hate daggers and despite everyone telling me to go Lobo/Glacial, I'm not doing it - I've considered getting Glacial for offhand but I'm not really sold on that at the moment. I top the DPS chart on 10 man scholo and strat runs almost every time. Usually in the top 3 for UBRS. I'm not doing too bad. And it's fun. I get a lot of comments on it too, which is amusing.
