Ethreal Destroyer performance in offhand.
Any rogues out there who have gotten an eth destoyer done any parsing? Im curious to how it performs in offhand compared to Ifir, DoD, Quarm hammer, or any higher end weapons with JTFB or other higher end piercers in Main hand.

Everything from SEM onwards will outdamage an ED offhand pre weap affinity 5.
No hard data with weap affinity 5 I can provide though, but I'd assume SoPP/HCW/EoE/HotT would still outdamage ED.

With WA5, the ED proc alone should be worth around 17 dps in offhand. The question would be going from a 16-22 to something around 18-19 in offhand would see an improvement in melee dps. IMO the ED would outdamage the other weapons in offhand. I posted some parses of going from a 15-19 to 18-19 in offhand wasn't that much of an upgrade; I just don't feel like searching for it atm.

n/m above comment - I had it saved in a text file for easy reference rather than searching for it. 15-19 is
0.789 ratio vs 16-22 which is 0.727 ratio but it gives a rough idea on offhand dps.
Going from a 15-19 to 18-19 in offhand saw a 6.5 dps increase (unbuffed), or 8.77%. Hasted and buffed this would be around ~ 10 dps, so I could see the ED > other weapons in offhand. The only drawback is relying on a proc of dps, which can be streaky but over the course of time it can do some nice damage.
Here we look at the base parse. As most of my previous parses, Lvl 61 parse mob, 41% worn haste, no buffs, 1561 attack, no accuracy gear, all relevant offensive AAs: Defensive Damage for , by Type
Base Parse: Ragebringer primary // Ancient Burrower Spine secondary

I use a RSS mainhand and have been parsing DoD and ED offhand since upgrading. I have WA5 and very much liked the ED's proc rate when I used it with DoD mainhand. When I upgraded to RSS, the lack of a deaggro proc to counter the ED proc gets me tanking a lot more than before.
Unfortunately, as much as I wanted to keep ED offhand, I ended up choosing the DoD for most fights. The DoD parsed an average of 5-10 dps higher, at least on mobs that aren't cold resistant. However, when I got good strings of ED procs it could go from 10-20 dps higher than DoD.
With a JTB the ED might make a good choice since you still have some net deaggro from its proc, otherwise I'd suggest the DoD unless you want to wait for a Quarm hammer.
