If you have been directed here, then you have submitted a repeated and/or failed build topic. If you would like to never again be directed here, read this entire page and ALWAYS CHECK FOR EXISTING BUILDS OF YOUR TOPIC!!!

Critical Hits
Trying to achieve a large amount of critical hits for damage with or without daggers is fail. The crop of it is dead. Several sources have lead people to believe that critical hits majorly improve your damage. Besides the fact that they have a chance of happening, here is why the idea is bad. (DPS on average, counting critical hits, excluding AR or any effects to the DPS) Source
 * Archive:A/D Dark Apostasy Scythe
 * Archive:A/D Critical Scythe Assassin
 * Archive:A/R PvE Interrupter
 * Bow = 30/3; 10 dmg/sec
 * Spear = 32/2.1; ~17 dmg/sec
 * Axe = 24/1.33; 18 dmg/sec
 * Hammer = 29/1.75; ~17 dmg/sec
 * Sword = 21/1.33; ~16 dmg/sec
 * Daggers = 16/1.33; 13 dmg/sec (excluding critical strikes attrib.[about +3 damage on avg.] and double strikes[x1.5])
 * Scythe = 33/1.75; ~19 dmg/sec

Take note that critical strikes have chances of happening, so the DPS is even lower than shown here. Overall, if you are trying to submit a build that is based on critical hits, or is a minorly edited version of the ones above (and others), your attempt has failed.

Daggers
If you have tried to submit a build using daggers without using an assassin primary, your attempt has failed. The main reason for this is because without the proper attributes and critical strikes you lack large amounts of good and necessary damage. NO other profession can make up for it in other sources/utility. No, not even a ranger and its expertise, no, not a dervish with daggers and AoL(and definitely not with any other elite), not warriors and strength, forget paragons, and NEVER will ANY caster EVER be sufficient to fill the void (See also). Daggers are for assassins only.

Let's take a look at this common assassin build, with an assassin, and without one: [build prof=assas/any dagger=12+1+1 ][Golden Fox Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][/build]

[build prof=any/assas dagger=12 ][Golden Fox Strike][Wild Strike][Death Blossom][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][Optional][/build] Why is the assassin more powerful in this comparison? There are several reasons: Daggers are for Assassins ONLY!!!
 * Runes - A key factor in using daggers, or any profession's attributes key to their build.
 * Armor - Casters can't do it because their armor is too low, 80 AR's can't do it or else they won't be able to keep their energy up, and everyone else can't do it because...wait, read the first paragraph again.
 * Critical Strikes - The biggest reason. Need I say more?
