Ah true. Swords would be a better natural fit. But there are still plenty of general dual wielding and attack speed nodes you could invest in.

Daggers require decent amount of int which is hard to obtain for duelists anyway since they released the patch notes i couldnt help it to notice they changed how the daggers crit chance works now its global so its base crit chance effects from your base crit chance which is %8 or %5 i believe.And u cant use cleave for them which leaves you with a dual strike for single targets and lightning strike for aoe only.

No diamond flask to start in OB.

im going to say this again since i see its been ignored.

THERE IS NO BEST WEAPON, THE BUILD DETERMINES WHAT WEAPON IS BEST FOR YOU.

As in for my shadow which is elemental damage based if i use 2 godly physical damage weapons i will do less dps than if i use 2 bad elemental damage weapons.

You are right but not entirely, with two 200+ phy dmg rapiers u have significantly better elemental dmg with hatred,added fire dmg plus regular elemental nodes than bad ele dmg ones.

Just wanted to say it depends on mods as well. % of physical dmg adds as a elemental dmg also benefit from ipd nodes.
