Rogues and Non-Piercing Weapons

[Yorec]

Hi all! First time trying out EQ in earnest and I decided to check out Rogue since I enjoyed playing it in WoW. My biggest question is is it worth leveling the other melee weapon skills besides piercing as a Rogue? The wiki highly suggested maintaining piercing skill above all else and I'm curious if this will limit my weapon choices when I eventually unlock Dual Wielding.
