A Farewell to Daggers

Although I said it would never happen, I’ve now gone combat swords. I picked up a Blinkstrike mainhand at the Auction House the other day and respecced to 19/42/0. Wednesday the guild went to Gruul’s Lair and Void Reaver in Tempest Keep, and I was happy to see a significant increase in DPS. Spamming Sinister Strike through an entire boss encounter is not too exciting, but I must acknowledge the fact that it works. What I need now is a fast offhand sword, and I have my eye on Akil’zon’s Talonblade. Guess I’ll have to go talk to some trolls about that one.

Combat daggers

I tend to agree with Doomilias, who finds combat daggers a boring build. I respecced from mutilate (41/20/0) a few months ago. From a theorycraft point of view, combat daggers is probably better (and combat swords better still), but I find mutilate to be much more fun to play. Also, the mutilate build offers far better stunlocking, which is super nice when soloing. However, it’s hard to argue with the DPS of combat daggers/swords.

I also agree completely with Doomilias on the matter of swords. Rogues wielding swords? Bah! We’re supposed to be sneaking around in the shadows carrying knives dripping with poison.
