Best rogue weapons?

[Hasbinbad]

If you absolutely must be a proc rogue, there is only one combination worth using, the phinny trident and burning rapier.

You'd better mash the hell out of your evade key and have a lot of dex/ac/hps, and a stellar tank!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

cool thanks for input guys

[Autotune]

if you got money, get the Bone Razor and a good offhand

if you dont have money, and dont have high lvl friends, get a Gloompoon/PSD

if you dont have money, and have high lvl friends, get a Phinny spear/PSD/Burning rapier.


I have a ton of weapons on my rogue alt and i have to say, having options is fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally, with kunark close. Id get a Phinny spear and burning rapier with some nice haste you'll do fine and push out some nice dps to level with. Both are fairly easy to get and cheap.

P.S. My rogue has: Phinny spear, burning rapier, PSD, Gloompoon, Serrated Bone Dirk, PGT, and something else i can't remember.

that list isn't right anymore. backstab used to hit for the maximum more often than anything. Now it hits for the minimum more than anything, which is determined based on your level rather than your weapond damage (post 50 at least). You were getting the full value any extra damage point in relation to backstab.

Now that you backstab for the minimum 40-45% of the time, you want the fastest 10 damage piercer you can find until you can get ragebringer (no epics yet), sky dagger (none exist yet), FSS (not avail really until stanos is put in game) etc.

Well this is a necro'd thread but eh...a trak tooth (10/20) is probably anyone's best bet for effectiveness vs cost (Runs about 10k, usable from 1-60 no problem).

Course if you have more money and want to get something slightly better, have at it.

yea, this is an old thread.

Still, I think I would still give the edge to the Crys Spear over a Trak Tooth. Fight per fight your gonna see more peaky dmg but at max level and double backstab 3 mainhand damage is a big deal. You will also not have to worry about aggro as much. Then again, how much more plat is it? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

A general guideline could be approximately (I do mean approx) 1 dmg for 5 delay penalty. Going for speed at max mainhand bonus your melee will climb and your BS will drop which means per fight your average will be more consistent and your sole dependence on BS drops.

Fact is with a rogue at max level even with a Jade Prod and anything in your offhand the class mechanics will produce massive numbers.

Yeah the Crystalline Spear is pretty expensive. If one wants to spend a bit more to get a slight improvement over the trak tooth, I would think a better idea would be the Rapier of Orin (12/25 +5 str +5 sta +5 agi) which runs I think 25kish or less. I would think that would outdps the Crystalline Spear's (13/30, no stats). Spear also costs a little more I think.
