I have debated about changing from mutilate to swords. I have liked mutilate for the fact that it is decent for both pve and pvp. I enjoy doing both but this is the only char I have at 70, the rest are under 20. Last night I equipped a sword in my main hand and my crit dropped by 6.5%. I dont have dagger spec (dual wield is better imo.) Do you lose the crit chance from Malice? If you lose that 6.5%, is it worth it to get an extra attack 5-10% of the time to make up for the lost crits(6.5+5=11.5% drop if I go 33/28)?

I moved the gladiator's shanker from main to off (was Ced's carver) and put the sword from Mech (same stats as Ced's carver) in my main hand. I currently have no enchants on my daggers. People are asking way too much for mongoose and the next best I have seen offered on my server (+15 agil) people are asking 25 gold for

Your weapon skill with swords is 199/350. That's why you lose crit chance when you equip one.

TYVM, that does make sense in way. I thought that weapon skill was only for hit. Does the sword extra attack proc that often to lose mutilate over? Mutilate has been and is fun. It is a real pain though trying to stay/get behind people. Especially when it is hard to see mob's with your party around you in instances. Would 0/33/28 swords be strong enough to raid and pvp with? I know maces rock in the arena, I could not imagine respeccing though every time you went to an instance. I dont see maces scaring any bosses any time soon.

Combat swords will offer you more DPS than mutilate or 33/28, especially at your current gear level. That being said, I'm not going to recommend you take a spec you aren't confident you'll enjoy. I suggest you give both combat swords and 33/28 a decent try, see how you like them, and if you're not convinced that you're happy with the change then simply go back to mutilate.

Every weapon skill point gives 0,4 or 0,8 more crit with it ;o

Thank you, after remx last post I did change to combat swords. It is sooooo boring though, except when i AP trinket,SnD,BF,AR :) I am doing more damage and getting a lot more aggro. I should be at 1300 AP and 150 hit by the end of tonight, is that strong enough to enter Kara?

yep... try to get that hit rating to 180 or so. with several kara pieces you should be able to get 230 fairly easily, after which build up on crit/AP/agil. granted 363 hit is the ceiling, i think 230 for raids immediately following kara is sufficient. by black temple i think you need it 300+
