Daggers, to take or not to take [pre-farming question]

Post by Rush4Life »

I am lv 49 atm, at lv 52 I will make a 9gap (with cursehearts) and farm SP.
The problem is, I calculated how much sp I needed (130k), but I came with the idea to add daggers (thus needing 180k sp). But I have second thoughts about this. I am a xbow rogue with a 2h warrior submastery. I already have a weapon for close combat.
So I am not sure if I take daggers as a third weapon (3 is alot, and I think I'll hardly use it).

So, to take or not to take, that's the question :)

I would drop the 2h sword and go daggers because they have a such high crit and are very good PvPers and PvErs

I will not drop the 2h, because I want to be rogue AND warrior, and it's too late to de-lvl those skills, and warrior saved my life countless times.

Don't take the daggers. You probably will once you get 80, but crossbow is efficient for killing and it's got range over daggers. I would get scud though. Switch to some crappy daggers and scud away after when you need to.

cleric will save ur life way more times. If u hav 2h as ur sub don't take daggers, there would be no use because u can already inflict close quarters damage

If ur rogue dagger/xbow u should've gone with cleric as sub...so u can use crossbow extreme/dagger despertae and buff urself with alot of defense >.< My bro has a 52 almost 53 dagger and he pwns with that and his cleric skills If anything u should get cleric >.< But a lvl 49 would already have used alot of sp on the other two masteries so, drop the 2h sword and go pure rogue

No I will not drop warrior, I just love heavy armour!
And I won't pick cleric because every rogue is already rogue/bard or cleric, I want something else.

I am in a similar situation. I am a rogue/cleric, that focus on xbow and cleric. I will max all xbow skills, stealth and some healing. Now I am considering should go get dagger also. It will cost me roughly 20% more sp, so I will be leveling up 20% slower. Xbow is already pretty good, but dagger will be insane. :D Right now, I decided not to get dagger until level 72. I will have a more clear picture on whatever I need dagger or not there. Maybe you should do the same.

Cleric doesn't have to save your life way more times. Just depends on how you play it. I've heard more guys with rogue/warrior and they all come down to the fact that it works. Allright, you can't really use the rogue in tough situations, but in that case you'll have the warrior. I don't think it's a bad choice, it's just that neither of the builds adds something to the other build. But when you pick your weapon carefully for each moment, I think it can be great.

As for one, just think of a xbow rogue who comes out of stealth, hits you hard and then switches to warrior, which means you can hardly kill him for the next minute, while your hp is already low.

By the way, I'm a mainstream Rogue/Cleric, but that doesn't mean that it's the best build. Depends a lot on your playing style.
