You've chosen the two most reliable for your race.

With UMD 30 i can use most weapons even the once that is race restricted.

Oh damn didn't realize that got changed.

Scourge Flail and Black Scepter.

EDIT: AB is always great, especially for sneak attacks, but at the end of the day you still want raw damage. Exchanging solely 1AB for 3 damage is good, especially on a DEX build. (Or rather "1 AB" for 4.5 damage)

Thats neat :)
Now that both of the weapons is equiped with a Rune. would you also enchant 1d4 dmg? or would you go with something else?

Very. 1d4 elemental damage is ignored by defensive essences.

+1 uni saves on both equals another 10% to avoid a spell or trap or something similar.

I am a bit surprised no one mentioned dale sword

I find that one quite nice for off hand edged weapon

For concussion there are +5 whips, I saw a few in UD, with your build it is treated as +7 weapon

Exchanging 1 ab for 3 damage on a rogue is not good at all. No. Definitely go for the AB. In both the scenario that you're sneaking and when you're frontlining with high ac as a rogue 1 ab serves you much more than 3 damage in your over all output.
