A lot of questions...Follow

I've got a lot of questions, by me & friends
Thanks everybody for help !!


1. Sword/dagger/mace specialization effects both MH and OF or just Main Hand ?
2. DoT attacks have some effect against casters ? (slowing casting time?)
3. It is stated than crusader/lifesteal has a reduced effect on player of level
60 and above: does it have a reduced effect just on players (PvP) or even
mobs (PvE) ?
4. Linked to number 3, what are the best weapon enchantments after level 60 ?
5. Linked to n. 4, I’m an enchanter, lvl 60, I’ve just crusader/lifesteal/+3
damage. Which one should I choose for my weapons ?
6. To honour farm fast, better stay in the 50-59 group or hit 60 ?
7. I’m 60 and got some honour. Better to spend it in epic 60 gear or save it
for future use ?
8. Linked to n. 7 – If I choose to spend the honour, what’s best to buy ? I
think I’d go for a weapon and some armour… but which peace of armour ? Or
should I go for two weapons ?
9. Aldor or Scryer ?
10. Is it true that Warsong gives more honour than Arathi or AV. (ceteris
paribus)?

1. Both.
2. Mind-numbing poison increases casting time.
3. Both, afaik.
4. Mongoose, and Executioner after patch 2.3. Or take +7 weapon damage (cheaper).
5. You can also find another enchanter to give you an enchant...
6. In no 7 you say you're 60 already. Problem solved.
7. If you plan on levelling to 70, I would save it. Most Outland greens/blues are better already.
8. Get the one that's the most important upgrade. Also, consider any upgrades which you might get soon from quests etc.
9. Aldor for a very good sword and ring, although you might decide to get the S1 swords with your honor points (patch 2.3) and thus making the Aldor-sword obsolete. Scryer got a nice belt (quest reward).
10. AV gives most honor, afaik.

Both.

No, DoT damage does not interrupt casting.

Both. It's a 33% reduction at level 70 if I remember correctly.

Mongoose, +20 Agility, +7 weapon damage, Fiery, in that order.

I'd go farm up fiery and use that. It's the most cost effective enchant, so it's very good for leveling.

There is no real point to staying at 59 to farm honor. You can get honor just as fast, if not faster, at 70.

Save it. The weapons are nice, and will last you until nearly 70, but the time investment is rather large to get one.

Getting the honor is a complete waste, it will all be replaced in a few levels. The weapons are the only things worth bothering with in the slightest, but even then, I'd skip it. Spending 15 hours to get an item that you're going to replace as soon as you hit 68 or so is pointless.

Aldor for most people. Check the rewards yourself and make your own decision, though.

[qute]10. Is it true that Warsong gives more honour than Arathi or AV. (ceteris

Warsong has a tendency to stall out for hours, which is why I never do it. Ever. AV is the best honor by far. You can get about 1,500-2,000 honor per hour on AV weekend at 70.

I agree with the above answer, so just one clarification on that one:

All other things being equal, AV is the best. And AV weekends are amazing.

This being said, when it's not AV weekend, it CAN be better to chain the weekend's "special" IF you're in a great group, which can offer a better yield than AV. And that's mainly because, at those times, it takes time to enter AV while you can chain the weekend's "special" (that's for the alliance, no idea how it's on the horde side).

So unless you've got such a great pvp team, stick to AV only during AV weekends and AV + the rest (while waiting for AV) at other times.

Aldor, you'll end up kicking yourself for not getting the best pre-raid Sword for Rogues as the 70 instances and Heroics lack good Rogue swords, Edge of the Cosmos is mediocre at best. Your next upgrade will most likely come as Spiteblade if it drops for you. From my experience as a Scryer Rogue, there is really very little benefit for you.

Still though, you should look over the rewards and make a decision for yourself, if you are unsure come back and ask.
