Pro Questions on Daggers

15^50? Stance or enchantment are better for assassins imo, more controllable. Assassins don't generally stay above 50 O_O If I go below 50, I probably running away from agro or about to die
a good Sin at life below 60%(which is the seconf attack one recieve) should already be on his/her escape, not stand there attacking.

my weapon set:
1. Vempiric Butterfly Knife of Fortitute (3/1, 15%>50, HP+30, customized) all out damage,
2. Sundering Dragon Fang of Fortitute (20^19, 15% Enchanted, HP+29, customized) on the run (I might make in air damage later)
3. Zealous Oni Dagger of Fortitute (1/1 EN+5, HP+30) all out energy combo, my primary weapon
4. Zealous Long Bow (1/1, EN+5) use it to pull, just happend to have these mod when I get it
extra: Protective Icon and Healing Ahk, use it when I equip 3+ slot of healing/protection skill as runner or need to help healing other (in early Kryta quest/mission I was forced to be healer in teh group )

How does taking dmg make you bad? Just because you aren't in front doesn't mean you will always be unscathed Oo taking damage doesnt mark on yoru skill, but if your are below 50% health, You Should Not be Attacking anymore, as there is an Imminent Risk of death



And wilebill , if you are in that situation, you flee from battle, and return at full health, else your are just wasting time kamakazi

I actually dislike vampiric very much on anything but a bow.
Though I do keep a vampiric dagger handy.
Heres what I carry.

1. 15^50 33%bleeding +30hp
2. 15^50 zealous +30hp
3. 15^50 vamp +30 hp

I tend to stay away from vamp items especially on my sin. If you're hitting something long enough for vamp to actually outdamage another mod in PvE you're going to die. What do you think is what gave assassins their bad rep. in the first place. Spike and keep it moving. :]

Slashing > Piercing in most cases. 2 words, Shiro's Blades.

At first I thought these work crap, like zomg req 15, but now i've seen the light. Putting 15 in DM boosts your damage by an insane amount. If you can build up a Dagger Mastery combo, you drop things so quickly.

I can crit Death Blossom on 4 targets for 80+ , and I auto attack targets for 30+ (Having 15+ in DM gives you 2 hits per swing).

I have changed by build now to Impale/Ironpalm/FS/TF then Palm Strike + Death Blossom. My best hit with Death Blossom was 80 + 40 (Dual attack + Extra Attack) and there no doubt in my mind that I could double crit 80/80.

Perfect Scenario, Palm Strike for 50, Deathblossom for 80, then 80. whats that 210 in 2 Seconds? I've gone hypocritical now, I said that survivability in pvp is more important, but now i've seen what sort of damage I can dish out. So my surviviblity is kept at a minimum, and I charge in (full Nightstalker armour) and unleash.

Whether or not I survive is another story, tho atleast I know whatever my target was, is dead.

/end rant.

Buy Shiro's Blades, they cost about 10k now. There awesome.

Perfect Scenario, Palm Strike for 50, Deathblossom for 80, then 80. whats that 210 in 2 Seconds? Um....I have maxed Critical Hits instead of Dagger Mastery. I Palm Strike for 80, then get dual Twisting Fangs hits for 30+ each, plus Deep Wound. I think that's better than your combo...and it's only two skills on my attack chain.

I use a Cruel dagger tang (lengthens Deep Wound). Haven't found a good Zealous or Vampiric yet.

I use a Cruel dagger tang (lengthens Deep Wound). Haven't found a good Zealous or Vampiric yet. Yeah, my entire Combo is *in this order* Way of the Lotus/Iron Palm/Falling Spider/Twisint Fangs/Palm Strike/Death Blossom.

There is no downtime thanks to way of the lotus. Meaning right after I lay down twising fangs, I can Palm Strike and Death Blossom straight after.


p.s My Twising Fangs hit for 30+ aswell, because I deal more damage with daggers, and I go extra attacks ontop of attacks.

So I have all those conditions aswell.

So I have all those conditions aswell. Yeah, and you're putting the Deep Wound on first, which is probably more effective.

I just can't see myself, in PvE, putting 6 attack skills in the skill bar. Need more versatility than that. The longest combo I've ever used in PvE was four attack skills...most things die to that anyway.
