78 Rogue LFG
January 22, 2009 by Visin
So today I figured I would post to show you all how I have been doing on little ole’ Visin and how she is staying with the rest of the game. She has to be level 80 by Friday at 1 PM server time and as of right now I am level 78 with 3 bars completed! This is truly a race between my real life problems and my in-game problems, but I know I will manage.
Visin has been trying to get instances for Gun’Drak and Halls of Lightning for experience and a few armor pieces I need along the way of the epic path of getting to level 80. As you all know Friday is when we are running Vault and OS and I do hope I can dish out the 2,000 DPS that my guild leader expects of me and while picking the best raid build possible for my Rogue. Which brings me to another situation that happened today….
Terrible Experience As Dagger Build
You know being a Sword build from level 70 you will start to get curious to why you are not a Dagger build, and that is the reason I bought two Saronite Daggers from a guy today over Trade channel, got them both for a small price of 300 gold! So I grabbed my Daggers and picked the best PvE Dagger build that I could find/think of and I went out to test it, only if I knew…
The DPS was terrible! I was trying to play as Sword Rogue and somethings just felt wrong! I did not have Adrenaline Rush anymore and I did not have Blade Flurry or Riposte or Killing Spree, OMG! I was dishing out a measly ~500 DPS when I was level 77 which my Sword build got me around ~900 DPS at the same level, which was insane! I can not speak for everyone but I enjoy Sword Rogues more for PvE as the Major Glyphs are made more towards Sinister Strike (love the extra Combo Point from Critical Hits!).
Well, the server just restarted for us over at Aerie Peak [US] and I can not waste much time writing (sorry about that!) so I will be getting real life stuff out of the way while server is down, I will come back here soon to let you know on my updates as Rogue, thanks for reading and check back!

I’m glad you posted this! I ran UK with my 70 rogue for the first time and was feeling pretty good about the “Welcome to Northrend” gear upgrades. I’m an unabashed Shadowstep/Assassination build with dual daggers — I’ve always felt that if I wanted to be combat spec I’d have rolled a warrior. So last night, after the run, Recount showed me at 567 dps, the hunter at 760 dps, and a shadow priest at 863 dps. I was about to delete the rogue altogether, but maybe I need to suck it up and dual spec.
Hey, Just wanted to let you know to just stick in there. Rogue’s are really good at DPS and they are very easy to play if you know what you are doing.
BTW, I switched to Daggers again and I really do like it, I dish out around 2k DPS with dual daggers in Mutilate Spec. I have been picking up maces/fists/swords just in case I want to try out Combat builds again and see what I like.
But thanks for stopping by, and if you like this kind of down to earth personal content just follow this blog and we will try to update as much as possible!
