Combat Sepc -> Baleful Weapons

[NakorDB]

Hi all!

I am mostly playing combat spec and this morning before work i got a Baleful Armament.
When i used it i got a 1.8 speed dagger

I never use fast weapons and am under the impression that slow/slow yields the higher DPS in combat spec.

Should "appropriate for your loot spec" not mean that combat shouldnt get fast weapons?

EDIT:

i did open a ticket tho and just got a response:

"This is the correct item for all rogue specs. I am sorry but we do not refund these purchases, they cannot be refunded in game and so we don't bypass this."

So i have to gamble for the right item first?!? Great!

It's a known issue they're yet to fix. No matter what spec you are you'll get daggers as a rogue every time.

I mean, you want a fast dagger mainhand when you're cleaving 3+ targets, so maybe that is why they have it on the loot table for combat?

I had exactly the same crap... Obviously Blizzard does not care anymore about its community and especially when it is about rogues...

Nope. I got 3 daggers and 2 axes from 5 tokens.

This is almost not expected or maybe they are too laizy or too chicken to patch this a second time as they already patched this once during beta. At that time even ST was better with a dagger main hand.

I completely agree with you, for the record. As combat, you are expecting a slow speed sword, axe, mace, etc. You aren't EXPECTING a dagger. What they need to do is reduce the chance you get a dagger for combat, or remove it altogether, as people can switch to assassination when they want to get a dagger weapon.

Expectation is the key word. Yes combat can use daggers in cleave fights, but it's not going to be the expected weapon you get when you choose combat as your loot specialization.

Update: 3 out of 4 items i bought so far are daggers Updated the blizzard support icket as well :/

I remember earlier in the expansion I put my loot spec as assassination thinking I was guaranteed a dagger, but I ended up getting a mace. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but if it is then all weapons are in the loot table for all specs.

[NakorDB]

then the tooltip is just a pile of rubbish or blizz really wants us to use any weapon regardless of dps

Update 2: 5/6 daggers :/

Thought they fixed this the other day, but I guess it´s just for HFC loot and bonus rolls, not the "balefu" armaments.

Patch 6.2 Hotfixes - July 23
Hellfire Citadel
General
Combat Rogues should no longer receive daggers via Personal Loot or Bonus Roll.

I guess I am pretty lucky that majority of the armaments I have gotten were axes
