I'm looking for some feedback on different Dual Wield set-ups for new ranger. This is my 3rd ranger and i'm just bored of the woodsman's staff (sorry!).

So I should preface this by saying I used my starting points in dex this time around, although i wish i went wisdom or stamina. Anyway I am seriously considering rolling with the Steel Hilted Flint Dagger if my dexterity is over 200 when the time comes.

I'm curious what would be a good offhand to work with that? Lupine Dagger, Fayguard Parrying Dagger (which wouldn't proc as much in the offhand, and i find the range on the aoe to be manageable in group settings), Crystalline Short sword, maybe the flux bladed axe for another proc?

I'd also consider not using the steel hilted though, and if so what would be good? Lupine/CSS?
Steel Hilted will net about 20 raw dps from the proc (not counting resists) at max dex.

It will do about 40% of the melee dps of a jade mace. If jade mace does less than ~35 dps mainhand, at any point in time, you'll do more damage (with significantly higher variance) with the steel hilted. AKA it's fine as a fun weapon if your dex is there, especially pre 60.
