Dex effects proc rates. So apply poison and what not.

I too am a fairly new rogue. I am twinked and wondering which weapon is better in the offhand. I currently have Trak tooth and Crystalline Short Sword to choose from. I have always heard higher damage in your offhand is the best. But what you say here contradicts that.

Which should I be using in my offhand?

i would use ccs over trak tooth, or just sell em both and buy a seb dirk, i think they are down to like 10k now or something ridiculous

I know Wood Elves aren't the best rogues.. but I do like their looks.

Grats on not being hideous. Stats are basically worthless in EQ and liking how your character looks is really the only important decision you'll make over the next few months besides maybe quitting. Max your STR with buffs by the time you get close to the horrible thing we call end game and you're pretty much done.

Handy Check List:

[ ] Epic
[ ] Seb Dirk or better offhand
[ ] Resists
[ ] HP
[ ] Win EQ

I'd say read the tag information on your trak tooth a little more carefully. You don't have as many options as you think you do.

Offhand is all about ratio. A TT and CSS are essentially the same weapon. As is a Jade Mace and Green Jade Axe. So whats the difference between these four weapons that all have the same ratio? Delay. Slower weapons are nice because you get hit less often by damage shields, but it's seriously all about ratio.
