I’m leveling a rogue as sub build focusing on big openers and was wondering how I go about opening with Ambush, then swapping to a sword for ghostly strike and eventually Hemo when i get it, then back to daggers. Is this viable? I prefer the sneaking and big crits to start, but keep reading that swapping to sword after is the way to go.

You can macro to equipped a dagger when ambushing
Then Marco a sword when using ghostly strike
Keep in mind it does take a sec to swap the weapon. I usually swap em during gouge transition. Ambush, gouge, weapon swap, hemo.

Changing weapons activiates the GCD—so just be careful.
You can still make it work though. Just have to practice a bit and don’t over-swap which causes you to continually have to eat that global.
this screws up in combat btw

Opening with an ambush then swapping to a sword works. Swapping multiple times while fighting is annoying because of the GCD cost.

You can, but its not worth it usually. At least in PVP. Losing those globals to switch can be the difference between your opponent getting a break in CC or not.
