How important is offhand damage compared to main hand? I have stone stalker as my main hand, as an offhand i have Lady Something's revenge for 1 percent heal or Bleeder of Souls fr higher dmg and an immolate effect.

 

I doesn't really matter at all unless you are:

  1. Auto-attacking frequently
  2. Using abilities that use the off-hand weapon in the attack (e.g. Deathblow, Flank Attack)

 It matters even less given the ability to animation cancel by-passing off-hand attacks, and the ability to OHK with DB/TF regardless, or use FA just for restealth.

 

 

On Luka I do like flask of frost + hidden blades from silencer spam though. If no FoF then yeah use BB in offhand.

 

Silencer's the Hidden blades one, right? That has a cooldown that greatly diminishes its utility vs BB or nameless blade. I prefer BB for Mine spam, but Nameless is next best imo.

I understand why it´s nice with slower weapons like 2 handed weapons or 1-handed swords but dagger attacks are pretty fast. Are you serious? You use attack cancel with daggers ? :D

Yes, it is much much faster and, assuming you have the higher damage dagger in your main hand, you will do more damage/sec

Personally, no, but it can work and I have friends that do. There is a small benefit to it, and personally I'd rather use attack abilities, but it is definitely possible to do and there's definitely a gain in dps if you can pull it off. Whether it is worth the button spam is up to you.

And going off what Drasca said:
Example: Silent Sister. If you are having a hard time staying alive, guard going away fast. Attack cancel so you only hit with the main hand dagger. When your abilities are on cool down (mostly for before you get flow of battle) do the auto attack cancel to hit faster and increase DPS. Your guard will generate a little faster and you will kill faster so she can potentially stay alive easier, I do it when bringing her into NM before getting Flow of Battle and it help immensely.

This is such an easy no brainer when it comes to daggers...Hakkon dagger & Bloody Bargain(more speed = faster hits/damage & faster crits). No need to over think this one. Cased closed; next.

It is not :)

 

I belive you it will increase DPS but that´s to much dedication for me :D
