New Rogue, have questions
 

Okay, last time I played Everquest was right before Luclin came out, so I don't really remember much. So here are my questions:

How does Dual Wield work? Do I get a fast offhand? Slow? Depend on the speed of my Main Hand?

Back Stab? Slow Main Hand? or does damage on it matter?

How do i judge what weapons are better than others? Is it just dividing the damage into the delay to get the damage/delay ratio?

Are there any early game places/quests/items I should try to get? Places I should go to level up?

Anything would be helpful, can also contact me on the PVE server under the name Demoralizer.

Off hand speed doesn't matter. Mainhand damage gets the following bonuses:

Level 28: 1
Level 31: 2
Level 34: 3
Level 37: 4
Level 40: 5
Level 43: 6
Level 46: 7
Level 49: 8
Level 52: 9
Level 55: 10
Level 58: 11

Backstab is affected by weapon damage, but I couldnt find the formula in 20 seconds so i'll let you find it :P

Just calculate damage/delay including damage bonus. Then there's Stats...and rogues have to consider damage from backstab.

I'll let others answer the rest
