[stunmakesqq]

I've been checking stats over and over again on the 2 weapons I've linked below, but I simply cant figure out which I should take. somebody could give me their point of view?

WD is faster, so for me it wins over KR.

KR is more for a shaman than rogue... the best offhand is Bladetwister, if you don't have it, stick to WD.

Except shamans don't use fast offhands :<

I see where you come from about the weapon speed but isn't a .1 speed loss worth the other stats you gain? I currently have both and am still deciding what I like better.

[Ashvael]

Shouldn't underestimate the 0.1 speed difference. Combat potency is making up for a lot of your damage.

I was running around with both for a while, fooling around and such..

I noticed a small gain while using the Kinetic Ripper, so I've stuck with it. Only a small gain.. but a gain, nonetheless.

I've checked it in several spreadsheets and ingame, Webbed Death gives an higher dps output.

Really?
Last time I played mine the thing was slow/fast with WF/FT.
That was at 70 though...So I need to get a slow OH now?

Key word: Spreadsheets.

Get one, save yourself and us the time. If you're really lazy you can even go off of "general" advice such as the weapon ranking on the EJ pocket guide.

Don/t forget the Golem Shart Sticker

It is very nice - I have it and WD and I use the GSS for a nice DPS boost.

I.. what? Maybe at 3.0 you mean?

Ok no, that's off-topic. Nevermind. Anyway, Webbed Death will likely be better because of the speed, but I just use Kinetic Ripper because it's annoying to use two different weapon types at once.

Umm, last I checked, both Fists and Daggers were both under the specialization of Close Quarters Combat. So its not really 2 weapon types unless you actually just for cosmetic purposes.

They have minor normalization differences. However, as an offhand, unless you shiv, the normalization won't matter.

that has no relevance to what he said. He was pointing out that Fists and Daggers come under the same weapon spec, so "it's annoying to use two different weapon types at once." Would not apply.

I was just noting against the quote "So its not really 2 weapon types unless you actually just for cosmetic purposes."

I was just clarifying.

Yes, I just meant looks and sounds. I thought the word types would make it different from saying specs. Nevermind.
