Just as a temp until I can get something much nicer

so i've been asked a lot why claws are better than daggers.
the answer is: they are better, because of a) the fact that the dmg output from claws doesn't peak as much as from daggers and b) the much higher leech (12% from nodes + 3-6% from claw itself).

i.eg. if you compare an imperial skean to an imperial claw, the difference from min to max dmg on the dagger is 50 as where the difference on the claw is only 29. meaning a claw does constant "good" dmg as where the dagger sometimes does low and sometimes high dmg. on the low dmg attacks you might not leech enough to recover your es/life and on the high dmg attacks you risk dying to reflect mobs, especially when you crit with high crit multiplier. for claws on the other hand you constantly leech enough and your dmg doesn't spike that high which makes it much safer vs reflect mobs. this way you can run safely through reflect maps without having to worry about high crit dmg being reflected to yourself from time to time.

nonetheless it's up to you what weapon you decide to use but if you build your char, remember to think about reflect mobs before you do.
