Dmg/Delay - Which weapon do I put in my offhand?
So a lot of you may have just heard the piece of advice, "put the best ratio weapon in your offhand!". This is not entirely bad, but it is not always the best choice either. The reason this matters is damage bonus. Damage what?

Alright after reading your post a little more carefully, I understand why you felt compelled to clear up this age old debate that you started about offhand selection. No one is dogmatically saying that between mainhand and offhand, the best ratio goes in offhand. You're just misunderstanding. You're not wrong on anything, besides your reason for the post.
You're taking "put the best ratio weapon in your offhand" bit out of context. It's still valid, however, that only applies to choosing between offhands. The offhand with a higher ratio is superior because damage bonus does not apply to the offhand.
This is completely independent from selecting your mainhand. Mainhand factors include, as you noted, damage cap, damage bonus, and ratio. Procs and backstab dmg are also considerations. Whatever weapon fits those criteria best goes in mainhand. Whatever junk you have that fits in secondary goes there, until you find a better offhand and in that case the higher ratio wins.
