Rogue offhand weps: high dmg or high ratio?

[godbox]

gotcha thanks a bunch

And unless someone who says "faster = more aggro" has proof, just ignore them. I've never ever ever seen anyone offer any hard proof that doing damage with more frequent, smaller hits generates MORE aggro than less frequent, larger hits. It is a valid argument that lower delay tends to mean more even thread per time, but that's not the same thing.

So you are telling us that if I am a Warrior and I have a choise between a weapon with a delay of say 20 or one with a delay of 70 to try to KEEP agro it makes no difference?

More damage = more aggro. Only time when your scenario could possibly make sense is if you wanted aggro at the very beginning of the fight but didn't care about it later. Simple fact of the matter is, two equal warriors without procs, same stats and gear, the guy doing the most damage will keep the most aggro, every single time. As a monk if I ever had to tank and break mez in the process I would for a flying kick to come up. If it were feasible it could also make sense to temporarily equip a hard hitting 2hb to break it as well.

Not true always. They have skills to use to get agro without procs.

No. I plainly said that faster does not mean more. I didn't say it wasn't different, and I didn't say ANYTHING about warriors at all... seeing as this is a thread about rogue offhands.
