I would assume if you're sub daggers... to go daggers... but that's just me, as I'm not sure of your playing style, etc.

If you wanna do competent DPS then yo should go Combat Swords or Fists. Swords would be better because there are just more swords out there to get.

The only good dagger build, for endgame, is mutilate.

Full assassination is the only tree you should be using daggers. All else go swords/maces/fists.

Aaaaaaand thats why everyone says Sub Daggers sucks.

If you want daggers, go Muti, if you want Sub, go with Swords/Fists/Maces. Swords are oftem the best investment because you can then respec to Combat Swords for PvE and have some great weps with a great build.

Compared to what? Tbh, swords has the worst itemization for endgame. Aside from the PvP weapons(which by all means aren't bad at all), you have the Spiteblade in Kara(3-7% drop), Talon of Azshara in SSC(5 kills, still haven't seen it), 1 MH, and 1 OH that drop out of ZA(multiple clears, still haven't seen either), 1MH/OH that drop out of Hyjal/BT, and the warglaives(which I'll probably never see).

Whereas you have 3 daggers in kara, one off of Vashj, one off of Solarian. 3 out of ZA, 3 in MH/BT, not to mention the 3 new badge vendor daggers once 2.4 hits(WHERE ARE THE SWORDS?!?!?!).

That will make 14 raid daggers pre-Sunwell, as opposed to 8(including the 2 legendary weapons). If you wanted to add PvP weapons, it would be lopsided even more so towards daggers.

At least there are more sword options than fists for raiding. Apart from the s1 fists there's.. ummmmm...... searching.... let's see here... errrr......

Anyway, I got a lucky drop of a MH fist a while back (was combat swords from 20ish to 70) and I wanted to try it out (pre-raiding, post-70) while on my way to s1 weapons. I've liked it a lot but I fully realize that there is a slight damage loss compared to combat swords (my informal tests showed <1% net loss) and that my threat in groups can occasionally be tricky (last night in Arc I had a string of crits that was perty, but needed a vanish).

Other than that, I like fists. The damage is solid, I like the aesthetic and "roguey-ness" of them (personal tastes vary), and honestly, who doesn't like to see more of those big crit numbers?

Honestly don't worry about weapon itemization as far as Kara or heroics. Get yourself two pvp honor weapons and live a less stressful life. They all have slow MH with better damage than you're going to see on any epix for quite some time :P

That's as far as people's responses.

I *think* the OP was actually asking which of these weapon sets to go with, which bypasses most of the responses. If you have two pvp weapons, do you care much which weapons drop in Kara? I'd say not really.

I went with fists. Why? They look cool >.>;

/agree

Any of the season 1 weapons are pretty damn great for the pre-endgame/non-arena people out there. My opinion of course. Pick the ones that go with your preferred play-style and revel in your damage-ocity.

And, hell, if some omfg-awesomeness epic drops later, you can always respec for it then.
