Damage on daggers : how to make bigger damage with daggers

this guide for dumb ass like me will explain how to make bigger damage with the daggers and tell u what skill make u do bigger damage with the daggers =)

INTRO :

As you may know, you can deal more damage with daggers and bows by adding dexterity points in your character's skill tree. But it is kind of confusing because it's hard to understand if daggers are 2-handed or 1-handed weapons, and if they are affected by strength points and melee damage buffs. That's why I made this little guide for beginners or dumbasses like me who didn't know how it works.

STRENGHT POINTS AND MELLE DAMAGE :

No, daggers are are not affected by strenght points

1 HANDED OR 2 HANDED WEAPON ?

Daggers dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about this and are considered as "daggers".
so skills like "HEAVY SPECIALIZATION" dont work on daggers but skills like "FINESSE" will work cuz it is written "daggers" in the description of the skill.
so if its written "daggers" or "melee weapons" on the skill then it will work on daggers.

lil build by me and helping you make your build :

One big mistake that I made while making my build is that I was putting all my points in skills from the red trees like the warrior tree, barbarian tree, etc. But it is better to put most of them in the green one and play with a daggers/bow combo. Like this, you can make big damage with the dexterity points and have a ranged weapon that can help you take on the big flying enemies =). It also helps because daggers will lose durability easily =(.

So I made a build that looks like this:

https://enshrouded-skill-tree.com/?code=WyIxNjMiLCIxNTMiLCIxNDAiLCIxMjciLCIxMjgiLCIxMzAiLCIxMzEiLCIxMzIiLCIxMzQiLCIxNzkiLCIxNTQiLCIxNTciLCIxNTYiLCIxNTgiLCIxNTkiLCIxNjEiLCIxNjQiLCIxNjYiLCIxNjciLCIxNjgiLCIxNzAiLCIxNzIiLCIxNzQiLCIxNzYiLCIxNzUiLCIxNzciLCIxMTciLCIxMTUiLCIxMDMiLCI4OCIsIjc1IiwiNzYiLCIxMTYiLCIxMTgiLCIxMzMiLCI4OSIsIjEwNCIsIjE0MSIsIjE0MyIsIjE0NCIsIjE4NSIsIjE0NyIsIjE4NCIsIjE0OCIsIjE0NiIsIjE1MSIsIjE1MCIsIjE1MiIsIjE2NSIsIjE3OCIsIjE4MiIsIjgiLCIxMzYiLCIxMzciLCI5IiwiMTgxIiwiMTYyIiwiMTg2IiwiMTg3IiwiMTIwIiwiMTIzIl0=

(feel free to upgrade it in the comments =))
One thing that I want to tell you is that there's no skill in this build that helps you with the low durability, so be careful =)
And it may not be the best build for daggers either =)

(update : i changed the build since theres more skill points now)

BONUS

I don't recommend playing with daggers unless you're like me and play with them because they are sexy. Unlike most daggers in video games, they are the worst melee weapon in Enshrouded, or even the worst in the game, lol. I don't think they need a buff; what they need is personality.

When you look at the skill tree, you will see that there's no dedicated section for daggers. You can only find dagger skills in trees that are not specifically for daggers. This makes daggers confusing as hell and forces you to pair them with a bow.

So yeah... unless they create a skill tree for daggers, that u use the dagger as a secondary weapon for the bow, or you just really like sexy weapons like me, you shouldn't play with them.

urbuild looks cool ! could u post it here?

i've found doing the battle mage perks that apply (plus the int specs) and the 2 red nodes next to it are great for daggers since i can spam dash atk and on crits i heal 5%, plus you get a lot of stamina from the beastmaster tree and i've mainly played as an arcane rogue dashing in and out (also if you're fast enough blink lets you get the assassinate atk when you crouch, use 2 light blinds to get the stun and merciless strike. i also got the tier 2 healing well thingy since i have int points so im pretty much a self repairing glass cannon as long as i don't get crowded or one tapped, gave up on bows all together since they're kinda boring and went with dual wands and whatever staff i can get with ice shard and the eternal healing channel since i'm with a buddy, working on getting a lighting eternal but not there yet

great idea from u earl =)

[ORA ORA]

als i think modding or community content could be cool and not only for the rpg part

[ORA ORA]

haha indeed daggers are confusing which is why i did his guide in the first place...
the skill tree is horrible and daggers were made only to be secondary weapons for ow user (or at least i think the devs designed them to be like that)

[ORA ORA]

the "blink" perk is a good idea i might add it to my build =)

[Earl Sneakington]

Yeah I really wanted to run daggers myself. The perk system feels in dire need of an overhaul.

A lot of paths punish the player by having them, waist points on slots that do little or nothing to help their build unless you play 1 of 3 very specific styles.

I really really love a lot of the game such as the building mechanics and the visuals are amazing but I think the game has a notable lack of direction when it comes to the core values of an RPG that get players really invested and having fun each time they come back. Things that other less interesting RPGs manage to do well thus outperforming Enshrouded despite its incredible merits.

I honestly wish I could build a mod to overhaul the perk tree myself. I have done a lot of work with mods and even a couple of small games. But since the game has no intention of mod support it looks unlikely that we will get that until the devs get around to it. (which might be a long wait)

Oh i just readed @Earl Sneakington that they dont benefit from melee dmg. Well that sux and make my comments pointless ;) , sorry to hear it that daggers are so fuc*ed up.

[Leśny Jebaka]

And don't get me wrong , but placing (on this game) points on Dexterity (when you want to play rogue) is pointless. Dexterity tree is bow oriented, not melee. Only point there that might be usefull for my rogue class is Ranger with +2 END +2 DEX +5stam recharge and +5% crit chance and dmg, but it requires to place on way to it 3 points on bow spec (again usless for my rogue play style).

[Earl Sneakington]

I think they are boosted by parry as well
