And whatever twat recommends using a 9/31 weapon over an 8/23 is invited to run a parser and learn some basic combat facts. Backstab is a small portion of rogue DPS until epic and double backstab. | |||

@azeth and Ridic - Thanks! It looks like I got some bad advice. I was told that even though the harpoon had 9 DMG (with 31 Delay), using my 8 DMG (with 27 Delay) weapon in my main hand would be a better choice because the main hand attacks much more frequently than the offhand; therefore, with the lower delay time, I would get more stabs in over the course of a fight and more damage over the long run because of the shorter delay. I guess that person was wrong.

One thing to keep in mind is that in classic rogues get +10 piercing skill so it is best to use a Piercer in you MH and OH when ever possible.

herp derp
..for some reason I remembered poon as a 10 damage piercer - been a while here guys! Ummm. Maybe the psd is better than a poon in mainhand, but I would test it before I'd bet on it. FYI Noselacri, on p99, the crystalline spear (13/30) out dps's skull fanged stiletto (12/22) by far (according to parse), and that is a similar ratio downgrade per damage stat increase. ..before you go calling me a twat sir, I invite you to run a parser and learn some basic fucking combat mechanics as they apply to p99. Bitch. In general on p99: sacrifice ratio in mainhand for a higher damage stat, and ratio is king in offhand. There is no rule about needing a low-delay or high delay weapon in either hand outside of generally wanting a better ratio, especially in the offhand. @Nox I do not believe that delay affects rate of backstab, although I haven't tested this. However, I do believe that haste does affect rate of backstab, and would be interested in seeing some data to corroborate or disprove this hypothesis.

I definitely remember haste affecting combat abilities for as long as I can remember, not sure if thats here also since I havn't gotten my melee alts to a point where I'm getting hasted in groups [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just adding my opinion on a few things and how they work on P99, as I never played a rogue on live:
I used a Burning Rapier on my offhand for probably three months and never found it to pull any sort of extra aggro due to the proc. I assume it does somewhat, but it was never enough to be noticed. That includes using it in Fear/Hate/Sky where aggro is a big deal. I've always been of the school that top damage in main hand and best ratio in offhand does a good rogue make. The best combo in the game for a rogue is the Efreeti Warspear/Bone Razor. Backstab refresh is 8 seconds. With Swift Like the Wind it is significantly lower. Just my opinions. | ||
