So the tier 2 offhand blade for Imperial Agents (dps) is called the Cloaked Eliminator linked below:

The tier 3 offhand is either Ghost or Ripper Nine, both linked below respectively:

Which knife should an operative DPS choose? "Ghost" actually has -12 cunning, -72 crit and -48 surge, replacing those good stats with 82 power and a little weapon damage. I don't even consider that an upgrade.

The other option, "Ripper Nine" has slightly more cunning, but instead of crit and surge gives alacrity... a useless stat.

So what rakata offhand are IA's supposed to use???
