Revision as of 03:04, 23 April 2010

The PvXwiki community finds this to be an excellent build.

If you disagree with this rating, please discuss it on the build's talk page.

This build has been designed for the following use:

PvE
general

This build is part of the current PvE meta.
Remove this tag if it is no longer used in the current PvE meta.

PvE Dagger Spammer utilizes 1/2 casting time attacks to both deal quick repeatable damage and trigger skills such as Mark of Pain or Barbs. Because Moebius Strike is unnecessary in this build, it frees up the elite slot to allow for a more versatile build.

Equipment

Armor: Survivor insignia, vitae runes, rune of superior vigor and rune of clarity
Weapons: Zealous Daggers of Fortitude

Usage

Maintain Critical Agility and Critical Eye
Use Asuran Scan followed by skills 1, 2 and 3
Either maintain Demonic Flesh or use "Save Yourselves!" when the party takes excess damage (depending on which variant you take)

Counters

Anti-melee.
Anti-shout skills (Vocal Minority, etc.)

Variants

"By Ural's Hammer!" for big damage
"I Am The Strongest!" for big damage
Drunken Master for IAS and IMS
Pain Inverter against bosses and aoe
"Finish Him!" to kill stuff faster
"You Move Like a Dwarf!" to interrupt foes and spike them
Black Mantis Thrust for a snare

Notes

Due to the quick recharges of the attack skills, Moebius Strike is not a desirable elite for this build.
If no resurrection skill is taken, it is a good idea to take a Scroll of Resurrection.
