Dagger for rogue

if you dont have the bop BoA agi dagger, just get one of the 27 or 28 ilvl daggers from ah for weap dam since its main hand, theres not a whole lot of special daggers worth using outside of weapon damage
 
the only other daggers I can think of are the damage proc ones from rfd and mara purple wing. But yeah you will prob want the boa org ones ( if you have) or a ilvl 28/socket from bfa dungeons.
 
these also arent a terrible idea, but sometimes theyre a bit overly expensive xD

Are you sure? I thought things like outlaw mastery was normalized like poison procs? As for tool tips I am rpetty sure a moks would be higher in mh then dagger.

I’m at work but I can show screenshots later, it’s similar to the reason the sin or sub artis were better for outlaw than the dreadblades
Edit- I don’t have moks, I was testing with ironfoe, that may be part of the issue

Can't use dfa with daggers as outlaw though, not sure if it has something to do with dispatch requiring swords axes maces fw.

I use 2 socketed BFA daggers all the time when I'm outlaw. We don't have dispatch at 20 and in my tests there is no dps difference between running artifact dagger and artifact sword on a target dummy as outlaw (back before nerf), so I always just run daggers no matter what spec I'm running.

Now it's possible that Death From Above wouldn't work with daggers, but I always run Disarm as outlaw so I don't know.
 
Okay I've done all the necessary stuff; its showing higher because theres a weapon damage enchant on the dagger, but 1h weaps of the same ilvl will show the same tooltip (all the weapons in the tooltips here have ele force on them so no weapon damage scaling)

DFA is very usable with daggers

Theres no way for me to effectively confirm if mast actually procs more, i might just be paying more attention to it when im using a dagger who knows

Do it with Mok or cudgel... there is no other main hand worth testing because theres no other main hand worth using.

Thanks for testing. I confirmed last night with heirloom as well, it is really really close. Kinda of odd. It looks like the sword MH was 1 point of damage higher on a few abilities. I think the mastery free attack was more as well. I don't know if it's just because all weps have a fairly close range at this level or if Blizz is doing something in the background. https://www.wowhead.com/item=156999/mokmorokks-headcracker?bonus=6691 will for sure be more.

yeah it doesn't work with daggers, but if you are going to be using dismantle anyway then its not a big deal. personally I prefer dfa for its use as a pseudo gap closer + it can deal some decent damage.
