What's better?Follow

Before I begin my post, I'd like to give all the flamers (Theo and Nooble in specific, although I do respect most of the people who are regulars of the Rogue forum) a heads up.
I did, in fact, read the stickies.
I know it's rather unorthodox to post a stereotype thread along the lines of "What's a good build?"
I'm a well-experienced, veteran rogue who's been playing since release, and I've tried just about every build there is, from cringing at Shadowstep (although, with Ultimus beating Serennia with a shadowstep build, I've looked at it in a new light.)
Now, I've reached 70 and got some decent gear, and I have begun to like the feel of daggers better then swords. Currently, I'm 41/20/0 specced, but I want to know what with 2.3 changes, would it be more beneficial to go combat daggers, for sole PvP performance? I am disliking how everyone can see me in stealth, missing prep, but enjoying the 2.6 mutilates. But, I can get the best of all three worlds with a build something like this:

There I get Relentless Strikes, Blade Flurry, and Prep all in one neat build. The 5/5 Precision is mainly because my gear lacks +Hit, and I don't intend on getting any extra any time soon.

No.. I've been 70 for many months now. I hit it around April, I think. I spread my time over a bunch of different alts as well, but I level pretty fast considering i have 4 or 5 alts above 50 that I play regularly. Anyway, thanks for the input on my build. I've found that with being slowed in arena (ice shield, poison and what not) I tend to use SS occasionally when I'm trying to catch up to someone backing away (I.E, a hunter, or one of those mages) when it's not worth it to burn CoS, or I already have.

So, is the 41/20 cookie cutter mutilate best for PvP daggers, or what?

Pretty much. All of the other dagger builds lack the CP generation to be very effective, although that might have changed with the new Shadowstep change. Honestly, I don't know much about ShS daggers since most ShS rogues take Hemo and use swords or maces.

Still, you won't see too many ShS dagger rogues (except for Willow, but he's a scrub).

Also, super-huge-mad-crazy-brownie-points for the Firefly line in your sig.

Why can't we get more new posters like this one?

Simple answer to the question of why you don't get more new posters like this.

We're all terrified of being told we're completely stupid. So we don't bother. I wait for someone else to ask the question (the main hand/off hand post being one example) as I don't want to come back to a load of 'you're a noob'/'read the stickies', etc, when I have read the stickies but there's something in there that I don't fully understand.

Grow a pair. It's only the interwebz.

SOME OF US HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES LIKE WORK DEMEA



I should be on tonight though.

I know there are some flames on the board that aren't due, but a lot are.

People come in with build ideas. The good ones, we help.

Thing is, for the most part, we know what works and what doesn't. On this board alone we have people PVE'ing through TK and Hyjal, and we have a few of us who have played in 2000+ arena in multiple brackets. So we know what happens when, and what we thought would work, but doesn't. When someone comes and argues the validity of X, and we know it won't work, but the poster persists, it's easy to get aggravated.

Now multiply these same combination of events a few times a day for years. So we finally just start coming down with the hammer. Funny thing is, I feel it makes better players; at the same time weeding out *********

There is no reason to care bear people. If you are a moron on X, you need to know that. And it is really only in severe cases where we don't help. I know myself, have called people stupid, idiotic, what have you, but usually, we will tell why. Tell you what to fix.

This game isn't Rocket Surgery , so it really isn't to hard to figure out why things work and don't.
