Early game daggers < two hand weapons?

Not sure how often rare daggers drop, but most of the time I find two hand weapons vastly out dpsing daggers.

Be it drops or the crit rate isn't high enough, I'm not sure what to say about early game daggers.

The same kind of applies to the starter gem shadows spawn with, it does seem good on paper but is very annoying when the damage over time DOESN'T activate. . .

(I guess daggers were made to hit and run with a mix of fire traps etc) but as soon as you loot a 2 hand wep in the same tier as your dagger, it'll last quite a while before you ever find a dagger even close to that 2 hand wep.

DPS doublestrike vs poison hit and run etc. . doesn't seem to be fair since the player with doublestrike will definitely level up way faster.


This is similar to how witches used to have a really weak fireball spell, but now that it's buffed they level really smoothly.

GGG, buff daggers pls.

Two hand weapons will make for far better leveling, they will also do better even at endgame with low gear levels.

well for low levels u should use unique daggers, because getting a rare dagger rolled good is very hard
use dual ungauche for very high dps and survivability

stop telling bullshit, and why are daggers harder to craft then two handed weapons? rustic sash + wethston, aug+regal and then add something with the master, saying daggers are harder to craft is complete bullshhit

not sure if srs

Daggers ARE harder to craft for melee because they are hybrid weapons. You can always get spell damage, spell crit chance and stuff on daggers, which are of no use to you when you want to hit hard with those.

However, I never had the impression that daggers, even at early levels, needed a buff.
Also, the OP said 2h - which ones? Maces, Swords, Axes? Perhaps the reason he finds more rare 2H is simply that there are 3 pure melee 2H choices and only one sort of dagger.

Daggers need a lot of investment in the passive tree to be effective.

and there comes the other 2 handed hater out of his hole,

2 Handed weapons need the same passive investment be effective if not more, daggers have a 66% crit multiplier node, why the fuck should a dagger deal more damge with a critical strike then a giant axe with a critical strike
