I leveled my rogue as an assassin and I really enjoyed it, up until about a week or two ago. I have done a sudden 180 from seeing her poisons and her backstab and mutilate as part of who she is in an rp kind of way to thinking, "meh, I'm a little bored with this...gonna try out something new".
I respecced to a combat daggers build. I kind of wanted to do fist weapons, but decided that would be a foolish choice at endgame especially considering I haven't even got one sitting and waiting. I looked em up and I hated the look of several of them. I hated the fact that many of them said 'unique'. Several of the pics I saw showed 2 very different looks on each hand so I concluded that they are definitely not coming in pairs, as I would have wanted them to be. In the end, I was very much reminded of reading, probably here in the rogue forum, that Blizzard "needs to show the fist weapons a little love." So I hung on to daggers as my one thing from my past image of who my character is (and was gonna be viable hopefully).
I also spent some time yesterday looking at shadowpanther and deciding on some gear to go after. By the end of the night I had gotten a new necklace and a new "poncho" for my back slot.
That was fun jotting down my melee and defense numbers and then comparing when I equipped my necklace and again when I equipped my poncho and finally when I respecced. I think things are only gonna get better.
