Or can they be used with any 1H weapon the Rogue can equip?Its something thats been on my mind lately. I plan to be a blacksmith, but I feel like I'd be wasting my time with it if as a Rogue I was basically restricted to daggers to get the most out of my class, even if I can use other weapons.

I can't remember where I read it, but I believe it was an interview with a dev... basically you can use your abilities with non daggers.. but they would be more effective with daggers.. at least that is what I gathered from the interview. If I run across it I will try and link it up.Never mind, I was wrong with the abilities being more effective
.... here is the quote I remember reading.Quote:
Different weapon types have different porperties in Vangaurd. I think players will spend time making some tough choices over gear.

Rogues do use a range of 1H weapons. Last I heard they could still backstab with non-piercing, but I am sure that is not intended. Somehow the concept of backstabbing with a blunt weapon don't seem right. No doubt they will fix some things like this prior to launch.Cheers,

First quest I did resulted in a choice between a sword or dagger. The sword was identical damage and dps to the dagger except the dagger had +10% to crit. I imagine that they will eventually itemize swords/daggers so the swords are slower and harder hitting, but the daggers have greater chance to crit.Mouscellaneous
Rogues can use most weapons from what I've seen in beta, but I recall backstab requiring piercing weapons. Things are changing back and forth a lot so nothing is really certain yet. I do find it funny though, that rogues can dual wield long swords which are typically one handers.Llars
One thing to consider is the fact that daggers give an increased chance to crit. Being a burst damage class, increased crit chance will be highly desireable. (I have a feeling that there will be few 1-handed weapons that have this bonus and that this is how they will discourage backstabbing with clubs. I know that none of the 1-hand clubs I've seen had this bonus.)
