One thing I never understood is if you have 2 daggers one with high delay like Auric Dagger (201) and one with low delay like Rapidus Sax (150) is which dagger should be main handed?
Does it affect your TP gain in anyway and which would be more effective to main hand?

From what I understand, it doesn't effect your TP gain in any way (aside from the Delay- from DW). Personally I'd main hand Auric while it's the higher damage dagger and keep Rapidus offhanded.

Delay is averaged, so it makes no difference.

Generally highest DMG should be mainhanded, but it can be a bit more complex than that when you have "Occasionally Attacks x number of times" weapons.

To give an extreme example which is a bit misleading, if you were dualwielding on COR with Joy/Mkris, you would want to use Mkris mainhand and Joy offhand. Why? Because if you catch a mob with low HP where Joy will oneshot it and Mkris won't, you will get more TP from having the Mkris hit first. Bear in mind COR doesn't WS using Main/Sub slots typically though so ~

Basically, high DMG in mainhand unless you are really sure what you're doing.
