Cataclysm [Guide] Combat Rogue PvE

[Silenuos]

Hey guys. I can't find it anywhere but, what's the best weapon combination for Combat Rogues? (Mainly on PvE)

Is it 2 fist weapons, 2 daggers, 2 swords, mace, etc?

I'd like to hear it asap, thanks to those who will reply :)

2.6 MH 1.4 OH I'm 99% sure.

Guys, I can't find anything about it.
It happens often that I get 5 CP without using RS. Should I use a finisher or RS and then the finisher?

[Seigfried]

Read the guide lazybones o_O

You use a finisher when u r at 5 cp. only when u r at 4 cp use RS.

giude is shi.... u dont take 1 slow and 1 fast wep in 4.0.6 ...both slow.....DP on mainhand IP ofhand... just because of the main gauche craziness

Double 2.6 is ******ed idea regardless of mastery bugs, fast oh gives exactly the same auto attack dps (assuming both weapons have the same ilvl), same amount of poison procs, and much more Combat Potency procs, while no ability benefits from slower oh like Mutilate, except Killing Spree, which is nowhere near reliable source of dps (at least it doesn't outweigh huge energy regen loss from using brainless weapon setups).

Read the description on mastery, all mastery attacks are based on main hand only.

@PuzzleManiak: Apart from the posions you're right, when it comes to poisons, successive misses may drop stacks with obvious loss of dps.

In conclusion, in no patch were slow off hands preferable for combat rogues ever since the game's inception, because of the use of deadly poison in offhand, this play style is only desirable for other classes, but never rogues... for some reason the Molten community always seems to think it is. ><

Even with crazy mastery DP should be on your offhand. And 2x slow weapons isn't viable. Not in this expansion.

giwe it a try and then say....maybe there is some fixes now but few month ago..
.thing is u dont need fast wep to apply DP with so much main gauch what is + combat potency 15 energy

it was based on molten bugs,and it did incredible dps....now maybe things hawe changed

[kaukanen123]

how much mastery you actually need to get a huge effect from this, at 331 item lvl SS , evisc and whites still outperform it, a quick dps test i did and those attacks did like ~130k dmg each at the end of test but main gauche only 52k. Isnt this bug fixed?

[RyuIsaCookie]

with full mastery gear (that is pure mastery not reforged) gems and enchants i have 2904 or roughly 24.1 would estimate at around 20 or so you are really starting to feel the kick.

Well I meant the situation with DP on mh, which seems to be viable with healthy mastery. In that case application rate of IP will be exactly the same with either 2.6 oh or 1.4 one, as it's ppm.
