Best Melee Weapon in game at this time?...

[Allen]

This is the best rogue weapon in the game:
DeathStriker
Binds when picked up
One-Hand Dagger
54 - 101 Damage Speed 1.70
(45.6 damage per second)
Durability 75 / 75
Requires Level 58
Chance on hit: All attacks are guaranteed to land and will be critical strikes for the next 3 sec.

Awesome damage and you gotta love the COH!

The COH is pretty strange really, considering it has a weapon speed of 1.7 seconds... that means there's a small (probably less than 5%) chance of only hitting one critical within the 3 seconds it lasts?? You probably get more chance to hit crits with high Agility and the like!

Nope Allen, its All attacks, so you have two weapons in hands to attack with, plus any special instance cast abilities. So rogue could cast instant death and get critical instant death instead

[Allen]

LOL, so instead of killing them straight away, you're critically killing them?

OK, didn't realise it was for all weapons and extra specials etc... that's pretty insane!

heh just read some of the comment ppl have said about it. One thing i would agree on tho if I saw a hunter rolling on this over a war or pal id get angry.

[Dooms]

but being a hunter i would still roll on it, i have a right to since i use 2 handed swords / polearms

[Butcher]

Tank? No..

You simply be another player who dies in a single hit while the other players all get thier hits in.

Don't think it's quite single hit, but you need to have the healers paying attention and basically spam healing the main tank. Everquest style heal rotations here we come.

how can you have the right to use it if its for warriors and palas only???

[Dooms]

thats teh sword in a different thread... this one isnt pally / warrior If it was that one i wouldnt roll on it.

It's not marked for any class, so a hunter could use this (be a bit of a waste mind).

[TiG]

I don't know to be honest, that sword looks pretty good for hunters (+20 agil erm hello)

Hunters want/need all the agil they can get. + Str as well. I'd say its a pretty damn cool sword for a hunter imo.

[Dooms]

exactly what i was thinking, plus the amount of times ive ended up going melee a good sword is aways nice

[Geist]

just remember that as a warrior i can use almost everything... which means i can roll on almost everything...

Yeah i completly agree that its good for hunters aswell and i would roll for it myself if i was one i supose. But lets face it, whats ur main weapon, a bow/gun. U can get more agil off green weapons that from that that sword.

Stats wise it's not that amazing, it's only so good because of the DPS...
