If you have another rogue in your raid willing to apply Expose Armor and you don't have to, you can move those two talent points into Vile Poisons instead for a slight boost in personal damage.

This build is included for the readers who simply find the dagger play style more fun and want to optimize within the constraint of only using dagger weapons. Dagger builds will output noticably less damage compared to Combat swords. While Mutilate alone is a powerful spell, the Assassination talents surrounding it are significantly weaker than the great talents in the Combat tree. This build lacks many of the powerful deep Combat talents like Combat Potency, Adrenaline Rush, and Blade Flurry. This is the best version of an Assassination Mutilate build that you can do in Burning Crusade. If the raid you are doing does not have very many Murderable enemies, you will want to switch the points from Murder into Lethality. If you have another rogue in your raid willing to apply Expose Armor and you don't have to, you can move two talent points from Improved Expose Armor and three points from Ruthlessness into +4 Lethality and +1 Murder instead for a boost in personal damage. Dagger builds will output significantly less damage compared to Combat swords when you are trying to apply Expose Armor, but only slightly worse than sword builds if you don't have to apply Expose Armor. This build does not generate enough combo points to reliably maintain both Slice and Dice and Expose Armor, which is part of why it struggles to compete in damage output.

This is the best version of Combat daggers that you can do in Burning Crusade. If you have another rogue in your raid willing to apply Expose Armor and you don't have to, you can move those two talent points into Lethality instead for a slight boost in personal damage.Ĭombat Daggers 15/41/5 Rogue DPS Talent Build

Endurance is always pretty good for more frequent Evasion to keep you safe on dangerous trash and more frequent Sprint to help you position and start attacking faster. When Improved Sprint is good, its great - but in most circumstances is totally irrelevant. With this build you can choose between Improved Sprint or Endurance. Some notable maces and fist weapons that you would use this build with are Dragonmaw, Rod of the Sun King, and Hand of the Deceiver. If you want to use a fist, swap those Mace Specialization points into Fist Weapon Specialization. If you have a mace, keep the points in Mace Specialization right where they are. You can use a slow mainhand (2.6 - 2.8 speed) mace or fist in the main hand and you still want a fast off hand sword (1.5 or 1.4 speed) for this build. This is a variant of the Combat swords build that allows the use of a main hand mace or fist type weapon instead of double swords. These are not recommended if you want to be dealing the most damage you can in PvE dungeons and raids.Ĭombat Swords 20/41/0 Rogue DPS Talent Build For the dagger enthusiasts who just want to stab, we've covered the optimal Combat daggers and Assassination Mutilate builds as well. The immensely powerful Combat Potency and Sword Specialization set Combat swords a big step ahead of other talent specializations like Combat daggers or Assassination Mutilate. In The Burning Crusade Classic, Combat sword specialization is on top and the competing specializations are not particularly close.
