Weapon questions for a potential rogue 7

[RS-Makk]

Hi

I am planning to reincarnate my tempest 3 to a tempest 2 with 7 levels of rogue. *I currently have a WoP set that's real nice for trash with it's icy burst and force critical ritual. *if I switch to the rogue 7, do you folks believe getting a Rad2 will be better than the WoP (and will there be situations where the WoP may be useful - or would I essentially be retiring it?)

Reason I am asking is that I have 1 greensteel (mineral 2 with ac), and I have all I need for a 2nd and trying
to decide what to get. *If I don't change to the rogue levels it'll probably be lightning2, but if I do switch I am wondering if I should instead go rad2 (or use the ingredients for something else, for example, earth3 picks for epic - I do have other dr beaters for ly off hand for Harry and his pals).

Also - I recently pulled a treason. *Is that something you folks use at end game content, and if so, in what situations? *I do have the tharnes bracers and goggles (I also have +8 bracers which I'd keep on when want to maximize ac). (does the added sneak attack damage stack with tharnes?)

thanks much

Treason is not used in endgame.

The gain from less aggro is in no way compensatory for using an otherwise bad weapon due to low DPS enchantments.

Get yourself Tharnes, be a happy backstabber.

That's what I thought. What about rad2? Will getting 1 rad2 (paired with holy burst of pure good, mineral 2, or greater bane), be better than my dual WoP?

yes. wop's are not nearly as powerful as they used to be since mobs no longer die at 0 con. radiance is the single best mod you can carry as a Rog, hands down.
