._.;

If that's how you play you're doing it wrong.

Offhand is only about ratio.

With that said. SCD has the same ratio & the stats won't matter at 60 while the SCD gives you better saves, so at the high-end its better. While leveling up and you don't have access to raid-buffs the extra Str will give you a minor advantage. Not big enough to be worth spending an extra 50k in my opinion though.

The only other class that would really want to use this would be rangers and for them it's the best there is until VP/Epic/Sky 2.0. BOTGDE comes close though for 1/3rd the cost.

And doing this research i realized the fayguard parrying dagger is probably the best main-hand DPS for a ranger (ignoring the lol-get-me-killed proc). I've now made it my mission to get one of these on a level 1 ranger.

Agreed with you up to there.

[Juevento]

Well like I said I roll with RB offhand. So even better ratio.

I would still maintain based on the limited studying I've done of EoN vs croaking dirk tells me that the faster weapon is better. Either weapon isn't a terrible choice but based on my experience, I much prefer the dirk.

[MaksimMazor]

16/26 RSSS is slower and superior to an SCD

[Juevento]

Yeah but that's due to the dmg/delay ratio being better to the dirk. That slower speed doesn't matter at that point.

[Juevento]

If the thornstinger was an offhand weapon it would be much better than your 16/26 weap even though the ratios are in the same ballpark.

[Cecily]

At what point does it stop mattering?

[Thana8088]

Ummmm, I'd just like to add that I have a dirk for sale, cheap! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd love to hear your explanation of why a faster weapon with the same ratio makes for a better offhand.
