You don't need the best right out of the gate. Go to the wiki and search for piercers and look at the damage. The delay doesn't matter. Anything 10+ will give you a nice backstab once you learn it at 10 (and skill it up so you don't miss 99% of the time). Slime Coated Harpoon, Crystal Spider Fang, anything will get the job done, especially if you have a haste item or some starter gear to give this rogue. You can upgrade later, but you will still be a DPS blender if you spend even 1 or 2k on your weapons (combined). Live a little. :P
ok thanks. I just want to know why Rapier of Oriin is 2-2.5k, when it actually has worse ratio than a frozen shard or a small dragonbone shard which both are 1-2k, usually much less than 2k anyway.

Mainly because of successful manipulation of the P99 Auctions site.

It's a very good stat stick for the off-hand slot.

Eh. You don't want stats as weapons. Better slots for it. Go for ratio. Offhand CSS / jade mace better than rapier.

CSS is only very slightly better ratio with stats better suited for a bard. Meh. Why aren't you pushing seb croaking dirk?

Seb dirk is my absolute favorite leveling offhand. I just think Rapier of Oriin is a poor choice for offhand. It's amazing in main.

CSS and RoOriin is great its what I used. I guess there are other cheaper piercers like Frozen Shard with 13dmg but more delay. Oriin looks nice, but I wouldnt use it offhand^ seb dirk is awesome there, cost about 6k awhile ago tho

Just out of curiosity, what are they?
I can think of plenty of 10 damage piercers, but 13 damage ones I'm somewhat drawing a blank on other than the Frozen Shard, Small Dragonclaw Shard, and Crystalline Spear.

And as for the 11-12 damage ones, all I can think of are the <insert adjective here> Velium Spears, but they can be expensive.

Check the wiki. Some of them are expensive, yes. Some of them are no trade, also. They are out there, and you don't need the best right out of the gate.

With 6k, I would fill up a bag of tools not so much only weapons..

1k - Locustlure (slow proc + best 1-10 rogue weapon in the game imo)
1k - Bloodpoint (lifetap +5 str)
1500 - Small Dragonbone Shard (your 13 dmg mainhand 10+)
2500 - Velium Swiftblade (36% haste..crappy offhand stats, but cheapest 36% haste you can get)

I am not a statistician or anything. But the "eye test", the way I felt my rogue played 20+ with the swiftblade offhand / small dragonbone shard was more DPS than anything I could put in offhand for damage..

Can't be understated how awesome the locustlure is 1-10 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
