I haven’t used twin swords yet but daggers all the way and I have no idea if using swords will stop any Sub Rogue abilities. Can you backstab, shadowstrike etc with swords?
Daggers in AH are less then other 1 handed melee so if swords are viable and dont negate sub abilities I will swap. Can a sub Rogue use swords or do I have to stick to daggers?
Sub and sin use daggers. Outlaw can use swords.
What you can do: Use a sword or another slow offhand weapon if you somehow find yourself without a second dagger.
What you should do: Use a dagger in both hands because it offers better dps and energy regen, plus your loot spec will only drop daggers anyway.
It’s the same with Outlaw just with the weapons switched. Up until last patch it was a different story because of how loot drops from BfA caches used to work a lot of Rogues found themselves with two types of weapons. But they fixed that so now it’s a no-brainer.
I was wondering the same thing…since it looks like I have to use daggers, I’ve another question. Can I T-Mog the daggers to look like 1-hand axes?
I’m rolling a new character and wanted to do one that can wield 1-hand axes. And I was considering a rogue possibly.
tl;dr can daggers be tmog to look like other one hand weapons?
Edit: nvm, looks like it’s a no.
I mean if you really want to use 1 hand axe tmogs, you could always use the Outlaw spec instead of sub/sin.
Outlaw is currently AMAZING in mythic plus and underrated in PvP settings.
Give your one hand axe dream another go !
In pve you want to use double dagger for more secret technique procs. But in pvp you can get away with using a sword off hand.
Daggers only
Definitely daggers only. I’d say use a 1h sword off-hand if its a mythic titanforged (for the stats) but a lot of sub’s sustain damage is from auto attacks as well as combo point generation from auto attacks. 1h weapons in the off hand slows this down a lot. It does work in a dance build with nighstalker and enveloping shadows. You will just have very weak damage outside of dance.
