The dagger seems to get no love, but I really like it.

First, a blank:

Cut: */5
Swipe: */5
Gouge: */5
Eviscerate: */5

Throw: */5
Adder: */5
Throw Dirt: */5
Side Winder: */5
Vipers Nest: */5

Finesse: */5
Blade Instinct: */5



My dagger build:

Cut: 1/5
Swipe: 1/5
Gouge: 0/5 - This is a very slow attack. Skip it.
Eviscerate: 5/5 - This does amazing damage. Three hits, usually around 120+ each. If I'm worried about the rep, I skip this and just use cut/swipe.

Throw: 0/5 - Didn't see this doing anything that the others don't do better, so I skipped it.
Adder: 1/5
Throw Dirt: 1/5
Side Winder: 1/5
Vipers Nest: 1/5

Passives:
Finesse: 5/5 - Faster re-use on skills. Very noticeable.
Blade Instinct: 0/5

I'm only skill 19, so I have 6 more skills to use. Planning on maxing blade instinct with 5 of them.

every time i see a thread like this i get the feeling im playin WoW, people are getting techinical all of a sudden LOL :laughks2::laughks2::laughks2::laughks2::laughks2: :laughks2::laughks2:

Which is best though? Sidewinder or Vipers Nest?

They are a both must haves!

Hmm, as I recall, here it was for Artful:

1 Cut
1 Sweep
0 Gouge
5 Eviscerate

0 Asp
1 Adder
2 Throw Dirt
1 Sidewinder
5 Vipers Nest

5 Finesse
5 Blade Instinct

However, I was a'thinking just a'now of a'putting 5 points into ol' Artful's Sidewinder and moving 4 outta Eviscerate. Just to get Artful's points going of course. However, that would really cut the use for Throw Dirt, being a combat ability that has its use up close. The build as it is suits me, and I may even use it for League.

I find throwing knives really ups the rep points for a kill. I only have one point in everything but the passives which are nearly maxed
