Best rogue weapons?

[Crenshinabon]

I am not sure what the best weapons for a rogue are.
I was looking at using maybe a slashing weapon in offhand and dagger in main for backstabs?

Anyone got a good rogue that can give some weapon advice?
Plat is not "too" much of a problem.

Bone dirk main hand.

#1, do not get procing weapons, because proc rogues are weak. You're not weak are you?

Droppable available mainhand weapons in order of bestness imho:
Crystalline Spear
Fanged Skull Stiletto
Efreeti War Spear
Bone Razor
Gloomwater Harpoon
Polished Steel Dirk

For offhand, ratio is king. Nothing else matters. 1hp, 1hs, 1hb, doesn't matter at all. Ratio is all that matters. A possible exception to this rule is when the ratio of two weapons are very close, but one weapon has good stats (for instance, psd vs shrieking ahlspiess)

A good combo for levelling without completely breaking your bank is gloom poon / psd. If you can afford the extra cash, pick up a bone razor from one of the raid guilds.

If you're level 46+ already, get your ass to fear and pick up an eyerazzia, and get to hate to pick up a shrieking ahlspiess.

Why do you value the Crys Spear over the FSS Hasbin? You've made this comment before and it just doesn't add up for me. I think a better list would be:

FSS
Crys Spear
Bone Razor
Efreeti War Spear (take it from me, its garbage unless you swap it out after backstab)
Polished Steel Dirk

all just my opinion, though.

Tbh, I think you're really wasting plat and effort twinking a rogue with Kunark just over a month out. Your best possible combination (assuming you're not going to pay like 100k for a Crys Spear) is Bone Razor + Polished Steel Dirk or Burning Rapier offhand in Classic. Kunark however has things like Sebilite Croaking Dirk 10/18 from "grind group" mobs. So, I mean realisitically as a twinked 50 rogue, even with let's say max strength, and a 21% belt with the above weapon combo you'll see about ~50 dps on blue mobs outside of the planes, and likely 20-30 in Fear, 10-15 in sky, and 30-40 in Hate. Might as well play a mage [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Essentially, what you need, essentially, is Dagger of Dropping imo. Just my 2c, per se.

I think sky is a special case, where fss probably outperforms cs, but everything else being equal, the parse logs of cs are quite a bit higher than fss. I thought that was counterintuitive as well, but you can't argue with math.

story checks out!

12/22 VS 13/30 doesn't just seem counterintuitive it just seems wrong. We're talking about 1 dmg less for 8 delay - idk doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

[Lanuven]

If your actually keeping something with a terrible ratio like Crystalline spear or Efreeti war spear in ure hand for normal dps, and not just swapping them in for backstabs, u fail as a rogue.

in this post are u talking about using those weps to melee Has? If not, i would order them...
Efreeti war spear - 15dmg (magic)
Gunthak Harpoon - 15dmg (non-magical)
Serpents tooth / Crystalline spear - 13dmg
FSS / Rapier of Oriin - 12dmg
then all ure 10dmg weps..
