effective use of combo points

[Deatrix]

I was just wondering about using combo points effectively, right now if its a monster about my lvl, i ususally start with a back stab, gouge, sinister strike, sinister strike, and the either sinister strike or gouge for 5 combo points then evicerate giving me between 75 and 150 dmg on average, is that ok for lvl 13 rogue? the weapons i have are ok, i have the cunning blade from the rogue quest that ends in darnassus, and im not sure the off hand weapon im using i think its about 6-13 damage.

There are many kinds of rogues out there. It is best to pick a path and stick with it. You can be a Backstab/Ambush Rogue. You can also be a SS/Combo Point Rogue. Pick your own style of fighting and stick with it. A good way to solo with rogue is, Stealth, Garrote, SS (Sinister Strike), Gouge, Move behind them and Backstab, Eviscerate. you dont need to get max combo to kill mobs fast. This more then does the trick. For non dagger Rogues fighting is ALL about SS/Eviscerate. The reason you should try to start a fight with Garrote is because its a DOT. The higher the DPS the faster things go down. If you want any more info on Rogues and styles of play I am more then happy to write it. I am not telling you how to play Im trying to help you see ways to play you may not have noticed.

ive asked some others, but i like a lot of opinions on things, is it a good idea for a rogue to train for a sword, then dual weild swords, or one sword one dagger, or just stick with good ol daggers.

i trained in everything a rogue possibly can by the time i was lvl 10... train in every weapon, therefore you can use the best possible weapon when you find one. in short, yes learn sword so you can duel wield with them
