Guest wranks Report post Posted August 14, 2019 Section 2.2, there are a couple of typos. Playing with Daggers will lead to higher DPS in groups, butb when it comes to solo playb it is much more difficult to play if "Frontstabbing" does not work in Classic.

Guest Rogue Man Report post Posted August 19, 2019 Why would you use Garrote/backstab as a Sword. You can only use backstab with a dagger. You aren't using a sword/dagger. It's either sword/sword or dagger/dagger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You start off with the ability to only use daggers and it does say that you use Backstab until you get Weapon Mastery which gives you the ability to use swords.

Guest Dewarz Report post Posted August 22, 2019 There's some wrong stuff in this guide. You should be going agi and stam. Spirit is useless and you shouldn't get it. Str is okay if you can't get agi on an item, but it only gives 1 AP per str. You should be getting imp SS then 5 in malice right away, don't go down the combat tree fully and then get malice. Daggers isn't necessarily better dps in groups... A good dagger is pretty hard to get and combat swords does a ton more white damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good dagger is pretty hard to get and combat swords does a ton more white damage. It does say that you should be going Agility/Strength very clearly, the note about spirit was to say that it does have a use while leveling. Malice is a strong talent but getting to Blade Flurry/Adrenaline Rush early is also a very strong choice. As for Dagger vs Swords in groups, you are absolutely right that a good dagger is hard to get and the note about white damage for swords, honestly it really does come down to the weapon you have while leveling so I will make sure to put a note about that in. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrunkenWookie Report post Posted August 27, 2019 In the talent section (where you can use the slider to change your level and see the progression of the talent trees), the slider for the sword leveling actually has pictures for the dagger leveling.

Guest AnotherDrifter Report post Posted September 1, 2019 The talent points on the sword rogue leveling diagram appear different than the points recommended in the specs, builds, and talents section. Not sure if this is intentional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ardath Report post Posted September 2, 2019 Nice guide, but you didn't mention the need to buy dual wield. If memory serves me, that's pretty important. ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest hurleyburley23 Report post Posted September 3, 2019 Great guide that I am using so first off, thank you. I would suggest a great improvement would be made by adding a section on the rogue specific quest lines. Poisons are pretty key and a guide to the quest line to unlock them would speed things up for people. more damage, faster killy, faster levelling Also Lock Picking is cool!

Guest ako Report post Posted September 5, 2019 I don't understand the backstab thing for the sword rogue. I'm 20 now and still can only backstab with daggers. I tried to look up weapon mastery to see when I get it but wasn't able to find anything? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
share56 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2019 The leveling for the sword rogue should not have "backstab" in it at all. It requires daggers. Otherwise it is working pretty well and I appreciate having this to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why it says "until you get weapon mastery". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why it says "until you get weapon mastery". I would suggest rewording that to say something like "until you are using swords" since as it is currently is not the clearest. Especially since you refer to learning swords as a "weapon skill" elsewhere in the guide rather than weapon mastery which does not appear anywhere else. Other than this, great guide.

Guest Improved Sprint Report post Posted September 6, 2019 Hi! This guide recommends Improved Sprint as a levelling talent, which is a mistake. Endurance (in the same tier) is the talent that reduces the cooldown of Evasion and Sprint, Improved Sprint is just a CC breaker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Improved Sprint Icon Report post Posted September 6, 2019 Quote Improved Sprint significantly decreases the cooldown of your movement speed cooldown, which helps when solo questing since travel is a big time sink. At lvl 22 dagger rogue talents, this info totally wrong. That talent actually something else Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Legend Report post Posted September 7, 2019 So if youre looking to main swords is it okay to go sword/dagger? The dagger would help you swing faster correct? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebat 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2019 Improved sprint merely gives the chance to break all movement impairing effects, the actual talent you want is Endurance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tamales Report post Posted September 8, 2019 The sword leveling guide says to use Backstab as part of the rotation but I can't use that ability while using swords. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
