I'd have to say the Nox Notis is my favourite for the OH weapon. You cannot use a temp-adorn rager stone on it as it is OH-only, but even so the +DA and +DPS as well as it's slightly higher damage rating do add up to edge out the Claw of Khalen and it's damage proc. You lose the +5 riposte but I think the -2% chance for the mob to land a hit is nearly as great a benefit.

6k dps on SoH trash mobs is a yes, but I have to switch out a few pieces of jewelery to pull that off as well.

I kinda wish I had a ruinic sentry parse (or one with peace of mind)since they're the ultimate punchbags, but DW seems about ~1500 more typically, losing about 500 main hand DPS and gaining 2k offhand DPS.

It's viable for tanking trash too, if you're quick hotswapping a shield.

i havent tried dual wield yet but doubt its 1500 more.. Would be hot on palace trash i guess if thats the case.

edit: da in sta line probably pretty hot with dual wield

I usually do about ~7,000 zw on palace trash dual wielding. 1,500 extra seems about right honestly.

1500 is pretty beefy, would make for crazy dps on that trash, guess I'll give it a try and compare.

Yea, I recently did a korsha run to get new guildies mythical updates. I was dual-wielding as MT with coercer/dirge, jewel of animosity, 90+ crit, 65 DA and put up a 10k+ parse on a runic sentry. Admittedly it would of been alot higher had I noticed I was in defensive stance <palm to forehead>. SoE hasn't left guardians much option in RoK, SoH and raid zone trash but to go dual wield to keep the aggro. With a maxed out hate gain and 190 AAs, I have to be consistently doing 5-6k parses on trash to keep aggro. I use the claw of khalen as my off-hand of choice.
