I've noticed that for rogues, the frozen dagger is nearly as fast as hand to hand so it is not worth it to trade out. If you don't have frozen dagger, I highly recommend the strategy that Viscious just describedI have made a H2H Rogue, Mage and Druid. Yea I said it...Druid. He's just eclipsed 146 pretty handily. I'd say the Druid is a slower lvler than the Rogue by a small bit. The Mage? OMG unbelievably powerful if they focus all skills in heat and use a Gold Heat offhand. For all my builds 100 Dex is all I use. As I've tested more than that is a waste. I'd rather pump points into Vit.
Unfortunately Ranger is the only class I haven't started yet. My guess is that H2H is just as effective with a Ranger if you are fortunate to own Radiant gear. I have a full armor set, rad neck and rad willow and birch rings. I am hesitant to start a Ranger because I don't want to invest in more sigils because, well heck, that's what I do. I never use Knuckleblades on Rogue but I can imagine they are amazing if you are willing to switch out main hand to use skills. I'm not sure, however, that playing a ranger or rogue using them is very fun if you have to change out weps to use the rest of your skills. It would be effective but draining.
