Combined with a ruptureless rotation, itвЂ™s quite beneficial due to the heavy uptime of the envenom buff which allows almost constant instant poison procs. Overall it keeps your instant offhand up about 90% of the time while only using your deadly offhand for the first 5 stacks and 1 more every 10 seconds or so. lua file) it swaps back to your main OH where it ticks another application of deadly then swaps back out. At 5 seconds (or whatever time you want, itвЂ™s configurable by editing the. Once deadly hits 5 stacks, it swaps the dagger and now youвЂ™re double instant and putting up good numbers. IвЂ™ve just tested it out and itвЂ™s the first release so there are a few bugs but theyвЂ™re cosmetic.ДЄs a mutilate rogue, you just put instant on an equal dagger in your bag and away you go. There is now an addon on called вЂњpoisonswapperвЂќ that does this all for you without the clunkyness of scripts or macroвЂ™s. I recommend reading JustinвЂ™s comment about an addon that can make your life a hell of a lot easier if you do want to give weapon-swapping a try. What do you think? Do you use weapon-swap macros in PvE? So there you have itвЂ¦ Weapon-swapping is useful for certain situations but in terms of using this technique to boostВ your DPSВ itвЂ™sВ probablyВ a waste of time. Probably?вЂ¦ What do you mean PROBABLYвЂ¦ Meh! вЂњNow if it got the point where the typical raiding rogue was dependent on swapping weapons, weвЂ™d probably do something about it.вЂќ Blizzard wouldnвЂ™t want weapon-swapping to becomeВ a core mechnic now would they?ДonвЂ™t be stupid! Of course not! Right Blizzard? Ghostcrawler? Surely, if itВ really did provide that much ofВ a boost to our damage that every Rogue has to use it, this would signal something fundamentally wrong with the class (i.e. If it were such a necessity that weapon-swapping was to be used in order for Rogues to maximise their DPS IвЂ™mВ (relatively) confident Blizzard would address the issue. If you can make it work, thatвЂ™s great for you, but we donвЂ™t think that weapon swapping will be the typical way for rogues to max out their dps.вЂќ In reality, many of the rogues who try it find that itвЂ™s too prone to error given the marginal benefit. There is some theoretical evidence that you can get a small dps increase by swapping weapons. вЂњWe think the problems with swapping weapons get overstated a lot. Weapon-swapping does have itвЂ™s uses in certain situationsвЂ¦ДЇor example, you can use it to apply anesthetic poison on Icehowl when he goes into a frothing rageВ after tramplingВ someone.ДЄnyway, donвЂ™t worry Ghostcrawler has addressed these weapon-swapping concerns for all: Of course, I appreciate itвЂ™s in every RogueвЂ™s nature to maximise their damage outputвЂ¦ BUTвЂ¦ With weapon-swapping? Really!?ДЇor those of you who havenвЂ™t heard of the technique thereвЂ™s a great post over on One RogueвЂ™s Journey by ZaltuВ which includes the actual macro. I doВ NOT agree we need this вЂњfor rogues to compete nowвЂќ.В We are dealingВ some serious damage without using overly complicated techniques like this. I agree.В The techique is horrible and in my opinion over-complicates fights.В WeвЂ™ve already got enough to worry about with positioning, interruptsВ and rotations without all this weapon-swapping business for a little extra DPS. GC stated this was not an intended mechanic, and would be killed if it became too viable/prevalent, which it has.вЂќ вЂ¦ Weapon swapping of this manner involves getting 5 deadly stacks up (deadly on your offhand), then swapping to dual instant (or wound for some combat fights), then swapping back to deadly offhand a few seconds before the deadly stack fades. Give some minor haste and white hit buffs to rogues so they can compete with the better scaling plate wearers, etc instead. Please kill this like you said you would, as it is completely ridiculous and horrible to do. вЂњFor rogues to compete now, they have to swap their offhand twice every 12 seconds or so. Irian, in herВ original post, explainsВ the issue: Well, some Rogues use the technique in raids and over on the WoW Rogue Forums the issue of having to weapon-swap has been raised (and addressed). It is useful inВ PvPвЂ¦ You can switch your weapons and poisons depending on whether youвЂ™re attacking casters or plate-wearers for exampleвЂ¦ But in PVE!? Personally, I donвЂ™t think the rewards for doing so are worthwhile. IвЂ™m not a fan of weapon-swapping whileВ raiding and never have been.
