should rogue go daggers?

[HouNDDoG]

Seems to be standard, rogue = dagger..was wondering if dual wielding dagger is normal or go for rapier or something.

Any weapon you want. This game promotes creative freedom.

Personally havent played one but I'd probably go Stilleto because it has the highest base armor penetration.

[Cutlass Jack]

Use whatever weapons or armor you like best. Don't have to follow the usual cliches.

[HouNDDoG]

Alright, thanks guys.

I'm partial to warhammer dual weilding. Every problem looks like a nail.

Goes back to Paul Barnett's lies about the then upcoming Warhammer Online game. He promised a character class called The Hammerer, a class that builds up momentum smashing things. That class ended up scrapped. I ended up playing a dwarf engineer and a human battle priest.

I usually dual hatchets

Dagger's "Parrying Blade" module +10 deflection is amazing, and I typically have it on the off-hand for most dual wield characters.

I'm partial to warhammers as well, two damage types and high penetration. Low penetration kills your DPS in this game. Maces are also good because they can damage armor. At the very least, if you're making a Devoted, Warhammers and Maces are the only 1-handed weapons you should be considering.

Because accuracy is important, Rapiers are good weapons but good luck killing a construct or skeleton with one. The game hands out enchanted swords like candy, but that doesn't stop them from sucking, Seriously, one out of every two enchantable weapons I've found is a sword.

Daggers are okay, but it depends on what your character is doing. A middling defense doesn't really help you. Either focus on defense, in which case dagger and shield can be useful. Or focus on offense, in which case there are better weapons. Rogues have good offense, but they also have an ability that makes all characters they're engaged with flanked and distracted, so a dagger and shield Rogue or Swashbuckler works well.

Swords are a blight and if I could I would smash them all

[MrMurLock]

Try a Riposte rogue!
Dagger + Hatchet works wonders for defense AND offense!

[viva la monkey]

Daggers are great to increase your deflection and activate your Riposte to deal more damage in non-stealth combat.

Stilletos are good for ambushing enemies because of it's penetration.

I have had a lot of luck with a rifle (aquebus).

Lot harder for an enemy to wreck me if they die before they ever get close.

Just focus the mages/priests first.
