From Solo to Duel Wield

bigal19 · 01-12-2008, 05:28 PM

Currently 80 Swashy with 130 AAPrimary Soulfire - have been happy with 44881 str/44881 wis/4454 agi, but it seem my dps have fallen off after ROK. Been playing around with soulfire and anaphlaxis(albeit different delays by .5) My numbers seem to have jumped up with this DW combo...and yes i have always timed my CAs to maximize DPS w/one hander. I guess my question is all you solo build wis line one handers do u feel u are getting maximum dps from one hander build still or is DW the way to go now and all u DW swashies...what lines do u currently have w/DW setup..thanks..

still get max dps from 1h as opposed to DW, I never have had a 2nd weapon that's even 'almost' as good as what I'd be using as a 1h. This build you listed is specifically for soloing? If so, I'd try something more like.. 4448 str, 46481 agi, 44781 wis

I agree with Rip... though I switched his Agi and Str since I'm the only rogue that raids in my guild.

That's roughly my 1H build, using Anaphalaxis. But I put more points into Lunge Reversal than Free Hand, because it looks like the benefit of more points in Free Hand is only +1% Riposte/point, & I'm not sure that's all that efficient. I'm perfectly happy to be proven incorrect, here ... what the heck, I've still got 2-3 free respecs ... SMILEY

So far I'm happy, but I'm not sure this build is all THAT much better than dual-wielding 2 T8 MC Kukris, DPS-wise. It's possible that still, 1H is only really "dominant" if you're using a top-end fabled weapon.

uncontested avoidance is the most efficient of all~! i use a one size fits all build, solid raid dps, good solo dps - survivability, swipe str 44682, agi 4448, wis 44782

I have used a one hander since i made this toon and have been happy, always had str/wis build and have been happy with dps. I do raid with guild and solo'd a ton on the way up, more than group, but with ROK quests done and all i do now is run the instances. I guess ill play around a bit and see how it goes b4 i respec...ok thank all..later
