I'm trying to decide which ToM dagger I should build next. I have twashtar so I'd like something to compliment it. I was thinking maybe the Dex dagger or possibly the double attack +11 dagger. What's the best option here for offhand? Also curious off topic... why use Str kila for Evisceration when its a dex mod ws?

Why str/attack are usually cool.

OK, that's good info... but how about the original question... which is best offhand for Twash.. or better yet... what's better option... WS damage or TP gain?

I personally use the TP Bonus (magian one) dagger offhanded with twashtar. Various threads lead that to be the best for rudra but I'm not 100% on that

TP bonus magian is pretty much is the best offhand. Lux/corus can be better if their dex is needed to cap ddex crit.

TP Bonus dagger is a significant boost to Rudra when attack is capped, but it's rarely, if ever, worth the hit to your non-ws DMG.

Yea, I think I might wanna check out the Double attack +11 dagger. I like swinging fast and gaining quick tp. Also the base dmg on it is good

The TP bonus dagger is a huge boost to rudras. It also makes it a functional WS without SATA. It will still be under Exenerator/Evis by a smidge, but 1-2 hits of aftermath close that gap.

The ability to use a non-gimpy rudras 24/7 is why the TP bonus dagger wins. Keeping up aftermath 100% of the time while boosting your WS damage is why TP bonus dagger is nice.

I replaced it with Coruscanti offhand because i like the electric spark and its uber rare for showing off. I miss my TP bonus 100....but then i get mesmerized by the spawkly dagger and forget that my rudras are sucking.

I'd love a coruscanti. Tried and all I got were fajin boots. But thanks ill look into the tp bonus dagger. But I still think the Double attack one looks Hawt!

I have the +3 version of the DA dagger. It is a nice substitute if you don't have Twash/Corusc with its high damage and DA, but the high delay makes it a less desirable off hand if you have one of those two daggers. Almost finished a STR dagger myself, and about halfway done my Twashtar.
