Best trait for dual daggers shade?

[cc\\Nox]

Prior to level 25 I was going with the reduced cool down for career skill, but now that I have shadespirit that seems like overkill (since I have the ability basically for every major fight). What are the other best options?

daggers are pretty fast so try building up in crit/crit power. Push angle/block might also help you since daggers are fairly weak in those categories and it could provide a boost. I would go with the crit/crit power though.

Shade is a pretty bad class tbh.

100% this. I can't tell you how many times I felled a boss or did massive damage with crit/crit power, let alone the triple shot with the crossbow.

Crit power is a waste due to the backstab bonus, and because you kill everything with one hit on a crit except bosses and CW anyway and the tripleshot from xbow kills specials regardless of crits. Crit rate is important, crit power is not. It's better to take power vs armoured instead cause that's what you're facing a lot in higher difficulties, and you don't always crit so with non-crit hits the vs armoured is better and again, crits kill them anyways. This ofc assumes you backstab enemies, but if you don't then why the ♥♥♥♥ are you playing a Shade in the first place?

I have crit chance and power vs armoured on my weapons and the cd reduction trait on weapon. VS bosses, you're not gonna get more than a few hits in anyways cause you'll be tanking them.

People don't understand Shade at all it seems.

I do crit chance with attack speed and 20% faster attack speed on crits (Trait)
So im constantly attacking at 35% increased speed with dual daggers
you can do 10% faster attack speed from items and 5% from shade talent

Ya'll didn't read the question.

I use Swift Slaying (attack speed when crit). More speed makes dealing with hordes easier and it's a straight up damage boost to bosses, which is what Shade is for. The only other trait I'd say is any use apart from CD reduction, is Opportunist (push strength on attacking enemy). That would be up to your playstyle, but the other 2 traits are better for Shade.

20% vs armoured is the difference between 2 and 3 shotting Chaos Warriors without ulti with heavy attacks *if* you take the increased backstab damage.

Really the only thing I can say is "worth" on Shade is cool down or attack speed on crit.
