Dagger

[IantheEMT]

Hi all, I'm rather new but I do have the 32 pt builds. I was wondering if there is a possibility of a dagger build for a newer player without lots of cash. I'd like to be dagger dps + UMD. Can someone help me with this build? I have all the unlocks for classes/races and 32 pt build.

honestly the daggers can be an after thought. any of the build on here for rogues that are decent have imp crit: slashing/piercing, what ever build you get make sure its for pirecing or change it to pireing. then the daggers are just the poor mans rapier. its actually a decent budget version. just grabbing daggers or shortswords. if you ever wanted to upgrade to rapiers just grab and equip. there is no real specialzation bonuses for a dagger.

Any 1/2 decent rogue build with improved crit pierce can use daggers and fix your request. The only benefit that daggers have over shortswords is that they aren't as good - and therefor cheaper.

Read my pure halfling rogue in my build index - it's just a very standard rogue build.

Will do, the daggers are more of an RP thing truthfully, thats why I love this game because it may not be the BEST build, but it'll still be doable =) I like the idea of a traditional rogue, carrying two daggers sneaking and attacking at will, causing general chaos :P I'd like to do dwarf or human, but I guess halfling would work as well. And cheaper is good, as I really enjoy this game so I subscribed to support turbine(I played AC1 and feel very passionate about supporting the development of good games!) And bought a few points to get FS/Drow/32pt build.

Human and Halfling are your best choices.

Halflings are going to be the better backstabbers, trap smiths, and stealth characters.
Humans will have more HP, and an extra feat.

Don't buy drow - by level 8 you will have them unlocked... plus they are kinda weak.

Welcome, and Grats on the sub!

I really wish they'd throw in some kind of motivation to use daggers. Something like "Daggers add half of your dex bonus to your damage". Would make them great finesse build weapons and actually desireable.

Truly the RP draw to make a sneaky backstabber is strong, would be nice for it to be rewarded in some way.
