Should offhand weapon be the same as main?

Hi
Now that my rogue is raiding T5 content, I feel my combat daggers spec are hurting my dps. Even though I have both sunwell boj daggers I feel either a decent sword/fist spec would benefit my dps. Now having poor luck and not yet having a decent sword or fist drop, I now have enough badges for

. My question is would having the fist in the offhand be any benefit? Do offhand weapons even benefit from the 5% crit from weapon specialization. Or would I have to sink 5 talent points into both dagger and fist specialzation? I would prefer swords but from what I hear fists are slightly better than daggers, but fists would be good for a temp solution.

Getting that fist and putting it in your offhand would not benefit you in any way. Don't do it. Offhand weapons do benefit from specialisations, but are limited to only effecting the offhand (except sword spec which works a bit different).
If you're keen on buying the fist, use it in mainhand and buy a pvp sword offhand (preferably wait until s4 comes out so you can get the merciless version).
Fist/sword spec is pretty strong and comes just behind dual-sword.
My advice would be to stick with your daggers which are very strong and respecc to mutilate. In my opinion, way more fun than combat.

Thanks for the advice. Ive never even considered mutlilate spec. Being that my focus is pure raid pve i always assumed combat daggers was better than mutilate, but I will give it a try and see what happens

I have seen rogues do very well as a mutilate spec in raids. And usually, the preferred spec for combat is swords anyway.

Actually Fist/sword is slightly better then dual-sword as dps (3%higher more or less)
Dual sword is the ultimate raid spec only cause the 2 best weapons for rogue in the game are swords (do u remember that rogue who killed u with 2 biiig double-edged blades? that's it!)
talking about warglaives of Azzinoth ofc
mutilate is a good raid spec till high end content but will never do as much dps as combat sword/fist/dagger imho

is it a big problem to go for high tier raids with HShS? Dont feel like respeccing TOO often.
yes it is, no dual wield spec in raid=useless rogue
