So it looks like the "Hexed" gear really will be t0 synths. I'm guessing the item to augment the HQ version drops in legion. Since it seems only the HQs are augmentable ... still not much reason to do legion at all, other than entertainment.

Hmmm the Aluh Jambiya seems like a steady off hand if you don't have STR dagger already or...if you didn't feel like making one in the first place

It's a very good knife. Looks a better than the STR Thokcha to me even without knowing how much it increases crit damage by. Toss in 5 or 10% Crit damage and you have a very solid offhand (with Twashtar) or mainhand (without).

It's pretty good for those with only one STR Thokcha and no Coruscanti/Twash even at only 5% Crit damage

If it's better then the STR dagger ill gladly use it (when the price drops) I just thought it was a troll moment. the -10VIT doesn't bother me much seeing that dnc shouldn't get hit (or atleast as much) anyway

Oh yea right right....forgot all bout that.....
I'm conflicted now.... -.-

Well comparing that dagger with the 99 STR dagger
Damage wise (including chances of crit) which is better for off hand if you main say.....twashtar....

Aluh + hokcha is probably a great combo.

I typically use STR dagger/oynos for solo but I might start swapping my offhand when haste procs.

Derp, probably sell my Oynos if I get an Aluh anyway.

Just throwing it in to my gearsets via Motenten's spreadsheet and not adjusting anything, I get it being marginally worse than the STR Thokcha as an offhand for 99 Twashtar spamming Exenterator (<1%). It's marginally better for a 99 Twashtar spamming Evisceration (<1%).

STR Thokcha x2 also beats it/STR Thokcha against every target in Motenten's spreadsheet regardless off the offhand, too (by like ~1%).

I'd say it's the best AH-able dagger and is miles ahead of non-99 options or things like Angr Harp, but STR Thokchas are still marginally better.

Would totally use it if I were leveling DNC and only wanted to waste 2 weeks of my life doing one STR dagger rather than two since the difference is so small.

That seems to be their goal. They've provided a reasonable alternative to magian weapons that isn't like 5% behind them.

Also, the weapon drop rate can't be super high. Three have sold on our AH and there are only 3 up. I bet the price hovers around 2mil when it stabilizes.

At least 20 have sold on Fenrir. Dropped from 1M something to 100K in just a few sells. Now they're all around 300K
