i lurk here every now and then just to get more background info on rogues (and also on other classes). i have read here that combat swords is the preferred raid spec due to positioning not being a factor for high dps, you just have to follow a slice and dice rotation and you're set. i just wanted to confirm something else i was suspecting though.
one of the new recruits to my guild wanted to take his pally into kara, but at 1k healing bonus, i said no way, do more regular instances and gear up. so he QQ'd about it, then asked if he could bring his rogue.... 95 hit/27% crit/1500 AP and sub spec.
him: "i top damage in kara all the time"
me: "no offense, but even though my highest level rogue is only level 12, i still know it's basically combat swords or go home. not only that, but if you, a sub spec rogue, led dps in kara which is not friendly to melee dps, i'd say the hunters/mages/locks were all asleep"
him: "lol w/e dude"
him: "noob"
i had a strong urge to /gkick at this point, but then i found out the kid is 12 years old and felt bad. either way, was i right about what i said?
