Weapons make the Rogue!

A pair of decent daggers will make quite an impact on your PVP experience. ‘Skills’ outperform ‘gear’, but the burst from dropping a pair of Sinister Revenge into your enemy’s back can’t be sniffed at.

Mainhand Daggers

For the freshly dinged 80;

• The Fleshshaper (Heroic Halls of Lightning)
• Titansteel Shanker (Blacksmithing BOE)
• Traditional Flensing Knife (Kalu’ak reputation item)
• Wodin’s Second-Best Shanker (Zul’Drak quest reward)

For the Naxxramas raider;

• Sinister Revenge (Kel’Thuzad Heroic)
• Anarchy (Kel’Thuzad Normal)
• Twilight Mist (Grobbulus Heroic)
• Knife of Incision (Anub’rekhan Normal)

Offhand Daggers

*Note: the previously mentioned Mainhand daggers can be successfully offhanded*
For the freshly dinged 80;

• Librarian’s Paper Cutter (BOE drop from Halls of Lightning)
• The Interrogator (Occulus Heroic)

For the Naxxramas raider;

• Murder (Sapphiron Heroic)
• Omen of Ruin (Naxxramas trash drop)
• Rolfsen’s Ripper (50 Emblems of Heroism)

Enchants

Mainhand

• Berserking (Prefered)
• Mongoose or Icebreaker (virtually same boost to dps, but large difference in price on many servers)

Offhand

• Titanium Weapon Chain

Facing a preparation-glyphed rogue without a weapon chain will see you disarmed for way too long in the first minute of combat. However, double-berserking is being used successfully by several serious rogues so far this season (as evident on the Shadowpanther site) so it can’t be ruled out just yet.

*edit – diminishing returns
