Best setup for rogue end game

[Snaggles]

Here is another thread showing maximum backstab (off disc) and reasoning why a speedy MH is often better. 15/25 is a horrible MH ratio, a Vyemm Fang for example is roughly 25% better as a MH ratio. Using a Mryo or Tunare however doesn’t drop your backstab performance range while also increasing swing dps:

In general the principle is the same for all dps melees:
Upgrade MH or get a primal (which is likely a ratio upgrade)
Get the other thing
Optimize your offhand
All the while getting the right buffs, a bard group, and actually trying

Not all but many tryhards with a CoL are swapping in the epic for backstabs losing no swing speed but picking up the attack power prior to mashing the button. If statically keeping the CoL in the offhand it’s less of an upgrade. While the Ragebringer is a lumpy ratio so much of a rogues dps comes from the MH that tweaking the last 30’ish percent factor is less of a priority.

Rogues looking to upgrade the offhand before the Mh could benefit from a CoL but it wouldn’t be my priority unless you really adore the claw look over optimizing a parse. Or it’s super cheap and the stars align when bidding.
