Welcome to the Rogue Forums!

1) Two types of weapons specs = BAD, Blade Twisting = Bad, reasons being you want to spec swords for leveling, it is agreed upon as the fastest and most efficient spec for LVLing and General PVE, Blade twisting is just buckets of yuck those points are better spent elsewhere

2) Get improved Sinister strike, Reasoning- you can get 3 sinister strikes only having to wait one tick of the energy meter, makes for alot more dps,

3) Its my oppinion that you really don't need to get Endurance or Imp Sprint unless you plan on doing ALOT of pvp,

4) Learn Gouge it is very handy in pve being able to stunlock mobs for long periods of time

5) The Rogue Forums have a FAQ for a reason

This is a thread I posted a bit back as well with the help of my build from everyone. (plus some random ramblings)

use this site well and you'll find everything you need.

swords here

Also, combat is by far the easiest way to level, so yes, (also) get AR asap.

Adrenaline Rush.

It resembles my build alot so far, the only things i did differently was i never picked up riposte, and instead i put it into weapon expertise just for the better chance to hit.

I am going to tell you to max out the weapon spec so you can get the highest chance for the proc to happen (most of the other posters here will too i think).

This is my spec for combat with the amount of points you had.

This is just my two cents if i were u i would definitely check out nocturnal's threads he linked as he is more knowledgeable than i am.

Yeah sorry about that Prikker I had my screen turned down really low at school so my teachers couldn't see what I was doing, therefore i couldn't really read what you had linked.

Also I prefer to default to the fountains of knowledge on the forums even though i have been reading them for about a year now.

GL Sasisan enjoy trying out your new build

You know you love my noobness replying to other noobness, Nocthil... You love it with a passion lol

lol Sounds good. Hey I'm learning still but at least I'm listening to what you guys have told me =P

I would love to no longer be a noob. That's a goal I intend to reach.

*runs around being a half-trained noob*

Oh don't get me wrong... I've tried going on the forums on Thottbot... those are horrible. Seriously, I've repeated myself so much on lockpicking it's ridiculous

Once you specc into sword combat, you should try to use swords in both hands, only time you should really use a dagger in OH when sword specc'd is if the dagger is insanly good compared to your OH Sword....

But 5% chance to do almost double damage is much better than a dagger with 3 or 4 more dps.

Try moving your points from Riposte and Parry into Improved Slice and Dice, 1 point into Improved Kick, Another point into 2/2 Weapon Expertise, and Get Vitality... 4% stamina increase is almost another 4% health, and 2% Agi later in the game is the same as having +15 Agi on Weapons.

After you have 41 points in Combat, put your remaining points into Assasination, making sure to get Malice, Lethality and Relentless Strikes. Imp Evis is nice, and Remorsless attacks is great for all occasions, but dont tell Theo or Nocthil you have it otherwise they'll shoot you.

why is slice and dice so good? i mean shouldnt i use the combo points for eviscerate/Rupture/kidney shot?
