actual good advice from someone who isn't a fucking retard:

main hand 1-2k: any 13dmg main hand. dragonbone shard, crystaline spear etc. delay does not matter. stats do not matter. the only thing that matters in 6 man groups is your backstab damage. fights below 50 do not last long enough for auto attack damage to have any meaningful impact. i don't know blue prices but thats my guess

off hand ??k: whatever cheap garbage. your off hand won't do anything until higher levels. if you hit level 50+ and don't at least have a css by then, buy a seb dirk or something. below 50 your offhand dps will have no meaningful impact considering the short length of encounters. i don't know blue prices, just go to the wiki and find something with a good ratio and no proc in your price range.

don't waste plat on proc gimmicks, avatar and slow are cool to have but don't worry about +5 str

the rest: save up for epic MQ

That's kind of what i ended up doing, velium swiftblade in offhand (awful offhand damage) but gives 36% haste and frozen shard for the 13 damage BS.

who is supposed to be giving that advice? xaanka is obviously precluded by his own requirements

[Xaanka]

oh yeah haste is always good, i didn't think about that because I have a pile of RBB's. most fights pre 50 aren't going to last long enough for more than 2 or 3 backstabs but hey it helps. that setup should take you to 46 easily, after which point get an epic sell both weapons and buy a decent pre raid offhand and a haste belt with the plat (skyshrine trash sword, seb dirk etc it all depends on blue economy which i don't know)
a couple hate raids should fill your gear slots out 46-60, and at 60 the only gear you should care about is velious raid gear.

FTFY

[Xaanka]

Anyone know how much agro the Frozen Shard proc generates?

[fugazi]

Shadow Rager for your offhand. 8/18 10str with a 25 str and 30 to 50 rune proc. 1.5kish and has a neat velious dagger graphic. 35 str is bang for your buck.

Oh, and I happen to have one if you need it.

That's actually going to be a lot of aggro. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a decent tank/healer in your group.

It's not a great ratio either. BIS looks though.
