Thanks guys.

Another Question: Does Expertise increase chance to hit only, any increase in crit chance/damage? From what i know, for weapon skill during 2.2, each skill point also increase crit chance by 0.04%..

bull!

you spec for the weps you have, you dont limit your wep selection to your spec.


No.

You should always be using two of the same weapon class. Unless you have enough gold lying around to respec every time you get a weapon, you pick a spec and use weapons for it.

Your choice of weapons is a reaction to your spec. Each spec has a very specific way to maximize damage, and it uses one type of weapon. To diagram, it works like this.

General idea about purpose and goals->design a talent spec->find weapons for it->respec->use optimal attack patterns->upgrade weapons within spec

When you get to 70, this isn't true at all. If I have say, a S1 MH sword and Fang of Vashj drops, am I going to pass on it because I'm not combat daggers?

Of course not. That's a substantial DPS upgrade.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it:

You spec for the weapons you get, not the other way around.

Newbie rogues are spoiled by arena weapons.
