I dont understand how sub have "swift combo points" unless you refer to the cheap hemo spam probably with HaT to generate combo points.
I use subtlety and daggers; it is all I've ever used. Of course, you can't compare two things until you've walked a mile in another man's shoes, but I am very happy with the CP generation.
- Two fast daggers
- In most cases, I alternate between Shadowstep/Ambush/Evis and CS/Evis or SnD/Attack to maximize cooldown periods
- Shiv as main attack with an energy of 33 or 35 ( I forget which)
- Relentless strikes for energy
- Premeditation
- (GROUP) HaT; varies on group.
Now, do not get me wrong, I am not saying it is the best for PvE, but if played right, I suspect it is just as useful and efficient. On quests and mobs, I rarely even have to worry about combo point generation because it is opener, ambush/evis, and it is almost over; just a few token attacks to get them down. Switching between the atomic bomb that is ShS/Ambush to CS/Evis keeps you running from mob to mob.
On the other hand, in dungeons, you are obviously going to be fighting elites with much greater armor and HP, so that ccrap won't apply. Plus, there is the aggro factor; can't go ambushing your way through without *!@#ing off the tank and healer. But, I find - and this is merely anecdotal - that HaT does an admirable job of keeping me filled with CP's, especially with a fury warrior or rogue along for the ride.
The extra benefit of this build is that, while moving along through the world or dungeons, you are a total menace to all players. Plus, for those still at the level where skull players harass you, you aren't going to find a spec that will get you out of there as efficiently as subtlety. Corpse runs net you zero DPS.
Even more, you have the "Oh Crap" button of Shadow Dance that can basically get you out of every situation you find yourself in in pve, sans boss fights.
