Best 1k-6k weapon combination for new rogue

[sdp00888]

Rapier of Oriion is a great MH weapon pre-epic Vengnce

So since item haste doesn't stack how do you get 41% haste? Skycloak? Or does haste on items stack to reduce backstab timer?

[Vengnce]

yeah sdp and I do see them go for sale more often, but the asks are like 2.3k+ and that seems to me to be a bit overpriced.

[Vengnce]

Hahaha sdp just realized you are selling one for 2.3k on the dot. I am sure you will find a buyer too, just too rich for what I have left of my pp advance from my buddies bank. Good luck!

You can have both affects on you at the same time. The wording for stacking just means that you will only benefit from the highest haste. So if you're using epic haste, it affects your weapon speed but does not currently affect your backstab timer. Backstab timer will therefore use the next best haste item.

I honestly hope that gets fixed soon.

Let's say you have 2 haste items besides the epic,will that lower the backstab timer?

As Sam states, only the highest of these two items will be used.

There are many rogues out there wearing epic (41% haste), Siblisian Berserker Cloak (26% haste), and Runebranded Girdle (27% haste). RBG was really close to BiS pre-velious (for the STA/HP), and SBC had higher raw stats than Hiero cloak (although I probably would wear Hiero cloak if I had to choose - HP is king).

So they have 41% haste on their auto attacks from epic, 27% haste on BS from RBG, and the haste on SBC is ignored.

Skull Fanged Stiletto? Much much better ratio. I'd definitely use that over any 25+ del junk. Good luck finding one. Dual wielding those is something I wanna do someday on a new rogue.

Have you, or do you know if anyone confirmed that Stanos Head gets you one of these? The last time BDA did Stanos, I tried talking them into letting me loot one to see if this part of the quest was in, but nobody liked the idea.
