Stats for dagger build?

[Sheltz]

What stats are good for dagger build? I heard dexterity is not that great and I should pump strength and then mind, what is your opinion about it? Thank you

No one has the done the math to prove which stat does higher DPS, for one handers with a shield strength can edge out dex because you can get guaranteed crits after perfect block. But for axe or dagger, no such luck, dagger gets a skill the quadruples crit chance after a block, so anything over 25% would be lost, but that is a lot of dex to hit. Crits can stack bleeds up to 3 times I believe, which is weapon damage in dot form. So in all honesty, go with what feels more fun.

Alright thank you!

I reached about 12% crit. That was enough to keep bleed stacks up. I think I eventually had 45 STR and about 20 Mind, but that is just preference. I was using only 1 offensive spell, but I wanted a bit more base focus.
