I dislike it because it's obligate offhand and that's half proc rate. It's really nice for rangers. Truth is what you do doesn't matter. Rogues are a swarm class. You're part of a raid and you're not killing anything solo.. or at least you really really hope you're not. Min maxing might change your total contribution by 1-2%. Maybe 5% over an EC tunnel rogue. So, yes, your survival is your biggest DPS contribution. Any rogue with an epic mainhand will put a large of chunk of damage into anything they live through.

So you suggest RB / Croaking dirk cos croaking dirk is best weapon to get you to 46, after that simply primary epic for the win (so throw CD in sec)? Collect DKP, twink Ranger?

Rage and croaker are my go to for every new rogue before raid weapons, yes. And imo twinking a ranger is a DKP trap. They never get better despite upgrades. You have to commit hard to get a fraction of EC tunnel monk solo power. Primal bow + 2H primal + Cek Sword + Dragon Slaying Gaunts + Sky Cloak + Fungi is a good time though.

If you're remarking on how you can make a raid level dps bot for minimal investment, yeah.. rogues are insanely powerful with that combo. You need to invest appropriately in resists and HP/worts or they're a liability. But yeah
I consider that a raid level weapon combo. Probably performs at 70-80% of a maxed out rogue. Which would look like they do 30k you do 21-24k with a lot less of your life invested. Numbers made up but feel right.
