Combat Rogues have the unique opportunity to choose between three different builds, based on what weapons they decide to wield. Below you can find your build if you prefer dual swords, swords and fist weapons or daggers and swords. Whatever your choice is, we have you covered!

This build centers around the Rogue using a slow main-hand sword with a speed of generally between 2.5-2.8 paired with a faster sword in their off-hand. Combat Potency and Sword Specialization are a big reason you want a fast off-hand weapon.

This build is centered around the Rogue having a slow fist weapon in their main-hand slot with a fast sword as their off-hand weapon.

The last build is centered around the Rogue using a dagger in their main-hand and a sword in your off-hand. The dagger should be a speed of 1.70-1.90. This is the build that you would be using if you were looking to use Backstab.
