Autoattacks are a lot more damage than backstabs, especially if you aren't 55 yet (when you start double backstabbing ~40% of the time). Normally melee want the best ratio possible, and rogues are no exception overall. You might want to err on the side of higher damage when in doubt.

For example: 10/20 trakanon tooth or 12/25 rapier of orrin (or 13/25 serpent's tooth)? Go with the higher damage even though the ratio isn't quite as good.


Agility has a VERY minimal impact on how tough you are when you are getting attacked. Dex helps you proc (mainhands will proc up to twice per minute on average at 255 dex, offhands proc at half that rate), but as a rogue you kind of DON'T want procs because they usually mean more aggro than they are worth. The more you have aggro the more the healer has to work and the less damage you will be doing.
...and yarr! a rapier of oriin is a worthwhile investment, best rogue wep pre-epic I believe [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
