    Inventor's Focal Sword was missing 11 spellpower in the spreadsheet. It is now just a fraction of a DPS behind Degraded Dire Nail for non-humans and still BIS offhand for Humans. Inventor's Focal Sword new preRaid BIS offhand for all races.
    YES I checked the weapon you are commenting about. NO it did not make it into the top 10.

      I'm wondering this too. Rogue tanks this phase go rather deep into combat for blade flurry. You pick up relentless strikes ofc in assassination. But if you go with saber build you don't need opportunity anymore and can thus have more points to go for a weapon specialisation in the combat tree. Does this make weapon fist/sword spec viable? Also is aggression and weapon expertise worth it now? Especially if your not human.

    • @TheFuchao
      @TheFuchao 5 місяців тому +2

      Im pretty sure you need to go combat... You cant use deadly brew rune as tank, so the poison talents become less potent. Wild strikes becomes more potent with a swords tanking spec. Adrenalin rush also helps greatly to apply 5 stacks of the bleed to your target and in a combat swords spec you can talent +21% eviscerate dmg/ 3% saber slash dmg (and bleed dmg?)
      What i dont know: can the talent sword specialisation trigger from a wild strikes hit?

    Thoughts on tanking with swords? Going down the combat tree vs assassination is it a HUGE dps loss?

    • @Robbie_Reed
      @Robbie_Reed 5 місяців тому

      The reason why you'd go assassination is for the deadly brew procs of deadly poison and instant poison; for tanking, we immediately lose all of that, and the combat tree, while it provides blade flurry, doesn't give anywhere near the dps increases that assassin does.
      I tried out a build I set up with some other rogues last night, and it really seems like swords for tanking isn't going to be viable. Combat gives us next-to-nothing for tanking, and because of flesh wound taking the same slot as deadly poison, we lose out on the benefits of running a deep assassin + combat build.
      Between all of this and the fact we need to have uptime on 2-3 finishers at all times... even with rotations locked in, we're not doing nearly as much DPS as we should be between missing key runes and focusing on uptimes. This also screws our already abysmal threat generation compared to other tanks.
