You would think that the increased speed would mean a similar DPS But, the damage output of the weapons themselves is just so low...

Another oddity is that the Player's survivability takes a substantial jump upward when the Sword/dagger fighter swaps out the dagger for a decent shield.


Although, thinking about this thread, the tests I've done, for myself, in the past regarding the viability of CC vs. 1 hand and 2 hand have not been at all fair. My CC is standing at 71, with 1 hand at 90 and 2 hand at 86 or 87. That's a fairly big gap, especially at these low levels, to see how one compares to the other. But, I will have to say It is fun in PvP duels :) and, unlike the original poster, my Actions work very well for the daggers.


I have three standard Melee Actions, all use Acc 5, My SOLO opener only uses Inc Dmg 5 But, attack after parry and attack after Critical both use inc damage 6 as well, and my GROUP opener also uses inc dmg 6 as well as acc 5.

I have currently given up using Bleed or Armor Ignore, just no point in using those for Chain pulls or Soloing 3 - 5 Hit Mobs

But, I'm sure that if I keyed them right, they would help out much more than I think ;) So, nice to have options, and layers of subtelty.

well, just found out something interesting, CC is indeed broken too, since none of the skills get applied to the second dagger. this nicely explains why i've been hitting for 90/45 and also why my second dagger never get's subjected to wear. it simply doesn't count as full weapon.

In response to the ignorant players out there:

I have more heart than anyone would know :) I will let you in on a little secret... I am doing this for my newborn daughter... no one else... I like that game, but I do not have the time anymore. My first priority is to my daughter. End of story.
