A padfoot's quandry. Follow

Heya Folks,

I've been tearing through this board left and right. So much good information, so little time. Yet there's one thing in particular that I can't find or hasn't been discussed.

I'm a really busy guy. Working two jobs, going to school full time and still try to make time for friends and family. It took me a week and a half to save up enough honor for 2 Merciless maces. It was a major accomplishment for me, but now I'm kinda regretting the purchase.

Now don't go getting me wrong, I love the mace stun. It's helped me more times than I can count. Yet it only seems be most effective when decide hop on an apposing player who's already bogged down with an ally. I feel it just have that *Blamo* potential to win out in BGs. Maybe its just my gear. Mainly green Outland rewards. a few blues. More a K mart outfit than Armani. You know what I mean.

I've been combat as long as I can remember, it's gotten me all the way to 70 with one respec at 63 to go from swords to fists. Yet I've always had a fascination with the other two trees. Yet i guess I'm not quite ready to take off the training wheels.

I was thinking of saving for an honor reward dagger and going Shs. However, I was wondering. How do you utilize Assassination and Subtlety with maces, with the crown jewel of those two trees being mutilate and ambush respectively.


PS: Thoughts on ambush. Don't you think, that with a skill that implies you have the luxury of picking your opponent and the time in which to strike when they least expect it, in a small highly compact area in ***** below the arm. Back of the neck. Something like that. That ambush would have chance of someway negating, or partially penetrate resilience. I'm not talking a boost to the skill in itself. Early brackets in pvp don't yet have resilience to speak for. Perhaps a talent in the upcoming expansion.

for example: Prospect: 5/5 Years of combat experience have given your rogue a keen eye for the subtle weaknesses in even the most stalwart of opponents armor, allowing for a 5 % chance per rank to ignore enemy resilience with ambush. and a
10 percent chance per rank to ignore scaling degree of armor.

I don't know how it would play. or if it'd be overpowered. But it might breath a little life back into the dying dagger field. and give us rogues back that spark that made us choose the class in the first place.

Pleasure doing business with ya'll.

The 'crown jewel' of Subtelty is NOT ambush, but the superior mobility and survability the build offer. Going dagger handicaps you by making you lose some of that mobility.

Sub Rogue also use mace (or sword)... the only viable dagger build is Mutilate.
