can i use a sword in offhand? (dagger spec)

by Shackus » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:21 am

is it okay to use a sword in the offhand as sub/combat dagger spec in pvp and pvp? Or should i get another dagger since it's faster. Also another question, i heard as alliance in PvE raiding if youre human you go combat swords since they have sword racial, and night elves go combat daggers, is this true? I am night elf, also if it is true, what is the combat dagger rotation?

It is better to go combat swords as human, yes. But combat swords will always do more deeps than daggers, regardless of race in current content.

A good place to begin answering this is by looking at Feenix warsong, and seeing what the top rogues there are raiding as... because they've got every weapon in the game available to them.

That's not to say this necessarily means they're correct -- they could all be wrong! But that seems pretty doubtful to me.

I use daggers coz it's a different playstyle and requires a little bit more of positioning. Swords are better though.

Sword are better right now, but when AQ will be open dagger>blade for 2 reasons :
- Improved BS book
- Best dagger before KT > best blade before KT
