Best Dagger?

[Beautiful Gaston]

What's the best dagger at high dex? High critical damage is preffered. Hopefully this thread is less chaotic.

Umbral dagger for pure dex.

Umbral dagger is one of the worst. The normal dagger or shadow dagger are good choices. Also take a look at this: http://dryvnt.me/ds2/

no. However ar of these daggers may be higher, for pure dex critical damage of umbral dagger will be the highest because of higher critical damage modifier. I tested this and also additional link here:

I recall reading somewhere that the umbral dagger beats the normal one at around 90 dex. Not sure how true that is though.

I'd still just use the regular Dagger in case you also plan to use it "normally".

Otherwise, yeah, Umbral Dagger. But don't expect it to hit like the prepatch Mundane Daggers.

Shadow Dagger for strength, regular Dagger for dex.

I made a whole playthrough using only daggers. While Umbral Dagger has the highest critical modifiers, it falls behind on any other attacks. At 50 dex Umbral did roughly 100 more backstab damage compared to the regular Dagger, while every other non-critical attacks were lower. Dagger's moveset also felt better, I didn't like Umbral's first R2.
So yea, I'd say Dagger for Dex, Shadow Dagger for str. I also used Royal Dirk in off-hand, and power stance them, it was funny.
