39 rogue offhands- Help!

[Metalman]

Hey guys, I've been twinking diff classes for a while now (rogue and 49 pally have old pvp ranks), but only recently discovered this site! Its very helpful, with a heap of useful info.



I'm re-twinking my old 19 orc rogue to 39 (due to lvling him while i was drunk lolol), I have most of his stuff already, but i can't decide on an offhand for my hemo build.



I think i've narrowed it down to either a Ginn-su (back-sheathing wins) or the Nordic Longshank (if i can get the F-ing thing to drop, at 40+ runs atm)



Is one really any better than the other? Or is there another option i've overlooked?



Oh, and go for goose or +20agil?



Any feedback will be appreciated!



* Have Mallet of Zul + goose MH atm

** Got Dazz Sword with weap chain for rogue V rogue fights

*** Im going to use Vanq's with +20agil for dagg spec for max AP.



Cheers!

sac kris of the monkey/power is the best offhand you can get

But i thought with the change to poison app %, u no longer needed the absolute fastest OH u could find

 

[jenif]

not necessary but poison dps is still going to be drastically higher with a faster offhand since the % is static.



i've heard rumor that one of the BoA weapons is also a good offhand choice, but i'm not a math person so i'll let them tell you more on that XD

Ok thanks for ur help.



Maybe i'll just buy the Ginn-su thats on the AH atm, purely for aesethics



PS: goose or 20agil OH?

i dont play 39s so im not sure about this but if i was u, i would make the decision based on this:



if mongoose stacks (aka u can have one going at once from each wep...like crusader) then go mongoose off hand...if it doesnt go 20 agil

 

[Metalman]

Yeah i think i'll whack a goose on my OH - got a spare goose scroll in my bank anyway, not gonna use it for daggs now, after reading some posts here.

mongoose stacks

mongoose stacks

I can confirm this. Mongoose does indeed stack.

 

[Pållynåtor]

Still not really useful as you're going for burst and the likelyness of a double proc is low when you're being kited, slowed, los'd, cc'd, etc.

 

[Suppress]

I would go 20 agi OH with Nordiac LS and Mongoose OH with Vanquisher

Thanks for ur posts guys - ended up whacking the spare mongoose i had onto a Ginn-su blade - looks bad-ass, sheathed on my orc's back!



- Still running Uld for the Longshank lol, this is ridiculous!



*Picked up a 39 'of the monkey' dagg in case i need it also, thanks to Jen for that suggestion
