Hmmm...just found the greatest bug for human rogues...

As you all should know, dual-wielding maces or swords on a human yields 5 expertise. However, if you have 1 mace and 1 sword, you get 5 expertise for each type of weapon equipped, making it 10 expertise.

surely you get the same amount of exp for each wep though, 5 on the sword, 5 on the mace.

dual maces you get 5 on each, words, 5 on each, mix, 5 on each.

Nope, I bought a white mace from a vendor and I had 5 expertise with dual-wield maces. But with a mace and a sword I get 10 expertise.

Meh, you still nerf your DPS from losing offhand weapon spec.

Well, if you spec lolstep Shadowstep, then you can possibly use mace+sword?

That's the only use for this that I can think of.

Mace mainhand, sword offhand is just slightly below fist/sword or dual swords in raiding. If this actually works as you say it does, and isn't fixed, mace/sword might put it on par with those others.

Do you? 1.25% reduced Dodge versus 5% chance to double attack with the offhand. It might be comparable, especially given how good some of the maces are (Swiftsteel Bludgeon).

Or you could try some of those Assassination/Subtlety specs and forgo deep Combat, which might actually be doable with the bonus expertise and the reduces need for Sword Spec. Hm.
