Which is more useful do you think? I'm trying to decide between shiro's blades and the ceremonial daggers...

I haven't played with an assassin yet, so my opinion is based on outside information. Most people I know prefer zealous, and judging by the price of the mod, and the number of people I see spamming WTB, I say at the moment zealous seems to be the mod of choice.

I would take both. You have 4 weapon sets, right? If you must choose, though, I would say Zealous is probably more useful for energy management, and Vampiric is better for damage, especially dual attacks. Choose whichever fits your play style better.

Yea zealous, friends of mine who made assasins have been complaining about the masses of energy an assasin consumes.

Assassins can get +15 while attacking armour, which means there armour will be 85 which is good. Throw on a +armour mod on dagger and you have an assassin with armour.

But yeah get zealous, much better for energy managment.

E Management is a problem all assassins face. It seems they can't help themselves. Zealous FTW.

If its between Shiros Blades and the Ceremonial Daggers, go for the daggers. Chkkr's Pincers are easy to solo farm with an assassin, and have the same stats as shiro's but with a req of 9.
