I am seeing alot of CB Rogues using fast offhands and I've seen alot using slow offhands. A fast offhand will give you more Deadly Poison procs but a slow offhand will significantly buff Killing Spree. I could see a fast offhand being better for long fights but a slow offhand being better for burst. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just wondering if anybody has done some math and/or some tests to figure out which one is actually better.

Combat: Slow vs. Fast Offhand Weapon

The fast off-hand would net you more DP procs, the slow off-hand would buff your Killing Spree by a fair amount. So technically, it's all down to the fight mechanics.
- Single target fight, demanding sustained dps: Fast OH for the increased DP procs wins out, I reckon.
- Any fight allowing you to use a Blade Flurry - Killing Spree combo should favor the slow OH.

So ideal would be to play with a 1.8 OH and just swap into a 2.6 OH right before KS, then just switch back?

It resets the swing timer. But if you wait untill just after the swing then there really is hardly any diminishing effect. Originally Posted by Incineration

To my knowledge nothing alike happens to Combat Potency.
