Toolbox.9375 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Last I knew, mainhand dagger with Soulbeast was a downgrade to anything else, and offhand was outpaced for all but an evasion-obsessed build. Is that still the case, or has anything changed to make it worth getting my favorite Legendary, the Incinerator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levetty.1279 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 MH Dagger is used in Condi DPS builds in Raids but you can get similar results easier with dual Shortbow. It can also get similar results to MH sword in Power builds for fractals due to it activating more ticks of One Wolf Pack. It still feels clunky, only hits 2 targets and only has an auto attack, a stronger auto attack and a jump with a cast time. People have lost hope so much for OH dagger that even the posts asking for buffs have dried up. In short, not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaijinGuy.8476 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I use LB and Sword/dagger in my WvW build. I find the extra dodge and cripple on OH dagger very useful when I am forced into melee. Cripple with runes of speed make kiting melee classes easier (not easy but easier). Also, I have awesome skins for my sword and dagger. Firebringer and corrupted shard ... I probably use this weapon set because of the looks too now that I think about it. Edited for clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispera.5087 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 No. It clearly lacks an identity and skills with impact. ANet, really, at this point, just make it a ranged or close range condi weapon (300-600) like ele daggers. Then, make Axe the true ranged power weapon. If it's useful, somehow, then other weapons can still be used over it. For Power, Sword is better and for Condi, SBow is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy gets it! It's also great to switch to when the ranged reflects and blocks go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could just swap to GS and use 4 to block all that and still have reliable mobility and damage. S/D is a meme troll build from the days when regen bunkers danced around while our spiders did all the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaijinGuy.8476 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 But GS 4 will only block one melee attack before triggering the counter no? Sword 2 also does a good job of getting away. It's working great for me in WvW in outnumber situations (actually fighting not just running away). I guess it also comes down to preference though.

Jump during the channel and you will keep blocking. You lose more than you gain when using dagger OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I deal with so many unblockable attacks fighting 1 vs 2-5 in wvw, and hamster parkouring around turns and corners when huge groups target me, I rather have something more reliable than those.
