Rogue - main hand & off hand

[pictou]

Question, Best in slot main hand would be a epic 1 hand and is a epic dagger still better than a epic 1 hand in the off hand

BiS would be any epic weapons (ilvl 32) with 8 agility. Corpseweed Sickle, Filthy Paw, Waptor Thwapper or Emergency Hatchet for mainhand. Slicer Blade, Long Bayonet, Stillpine Family Letter Opener, Darrington’s Dirk or Survival Knife for offhand.

You need a Sword/Mace/Axe mainhand for dispatch, daggers work for offhand because only stats matter there and Slicer Blade is farmable. Second best would be agility, stamina, crit and third best just agi, stam I think.

If you strike out on all quest items and have the tenacity you can also farm a pale skinner

Yes, Pale Skinner is also farmable but I wouldn’t recommend it. 0.5-1% drop from a rare spawn with 2% chance to upgrade could take months if you’re unlucky.

If you have allied races unlocked you could just reroll until you get a good mainhand, Soothsaying Vest and Sparkproof Gloves. There’s other good items from quests like bracers, belt, boots and rings but try to get those first.

mainhand, Soothsaying Vest and Sparkproof Gloves.

Getting all three of these can also take hundreds and hundreds of rerolls. I've heard stories of people rerollin like 700 times for this to happen

Pick your poison lol

How much of an advantage would doing that give as opposed to blues or farmable epics?

I mean if you dont mind farming BoEs the only thing that might be worth rerolling is soothsayers. You can always just run gloves of the fang with glove reinforcements > sparkproof

soothsayers is the only piece that is bis by a landslide really, i'd just farm out pale skinner and slicer blade for weps if I cared enough, but at the end of the day epics can be pretty overrated

At least Soothsaying and Sparkproof are BiS, there’s plenty of q-reward weapons with better or equal stats as Pale Skinner.

Soothsaying Vest is 8agi, 13stam and 16vers, Sparkproof Gloves are 6agi, 9stam, 9crit and 6vers. Hard Crawler Carapace is 11agi, 13stam and Gloves of the Fang are 8agi, 8stam. In my opinion the major agility (4agi) or similar enchants are better than glove reinforcement (7stam) anyway.

Farmable epics for rogue are mainhand (low drop) and offhand weapons, head, back, shoulders, chest and legs, Foreman’s Gloves are just 8agi, 8 haste (no good).
