best dagger?

Offense wise what is best dagger would you say and how much?

What? All daggers are capable of being the same. Do you mean upgrades? Since you said offense-wise it would be Vampiric and a 15^50 inscription or inherent mod unless you keep a hex or enchantment up at all times, then you can use 15vs.hexed or 15^enchant, and a Dagger mastery +1 (20% chance).

been playng assassin ever since it came out

heres my thoughts on mods...

every dagger needs a +30 hp mod
every standard dagger needs a zealous mod


hex based chains (eg. Shadow Prison - Black Spider...)
- 15% dmg (vs.hex)
- zealous (energy gain per hit)
- +30 hp

elemental based (eg. Conjure Fire/Lightning/...)
- 15% dmg (while enchanted)
- fire/cold/lightning dmg
- +30 hp

offensive chains (standard)
- 15% dmg (above 50% health)
- zealous (energy gain per hit)
- +30 hp

offensive chain (aggressive)
- 15% dmg (above 50% health / always -10 armor)
- vampiric (health steal per hit)
- +30hp

I disagree about the +30 health, and extra 5 armor is uaually more useful to me.

and the best offenseive dagger would be vampiric +15% of dagger mastery dagger. not that its the best choice because you will run out of energy and have low defense.

Zealous, +5energy, 20% Enchants.

you should be happy assassins get critical strikes, which is an awesome primary attribute. vampiric > zealous. you should be able to charge up your energy to max in a few hits. and +30hp because everyone should have it
