Archive:Me/A Way of the Empty Palm

PvE Dagger Spammer utilizes a quick recharging attack chain for an extremely fast attack rate and subsequently is effective for trigger skills on hit such as Strength of Honor, Mark of Pain, or Barbs. This is what Mesmers would have to run, as this profession has very little to offer to this archtype.
