Why no custom daggers?

GrimMauKin · May 2014

In a number of situations now (including the Prismatic Blade) I've been offered a custom made weapon but the choices only ever seem to be double handed sword, axe, longsword (and possibly bow); there never seems to be an option for a dagger. It's not a big deal but I just think that two daggers look best for dual wielding.

---- Sorry, wrong forum! ----

it is a big deal to me.

im a duel wield dagger user nightblade and our class and skills are broken. we do the least damage of all classes and our daggers are low damage.

we need more damage to our daggers and we need more damage output ingeneral for survival.

we need special stealth skill lines and special addition to the very short 2.5 second invisibility should be atleast 30 seconds on potions or spell we can cast so we dagger users can escape when we know we are about to die which is almost allways in pve group dungeons since we cant handle more then 2 mobbs at a time. and also same goes for pvp.

we simply suk in both self protection, and damage output.

We've moved this discussion from the Support section to the General Discussion section so that other players will see and discuss. Thanks for the feedback!

We don't do the least damage BUT..We do the HIGHEST damage coming out of sneak. That's our only strong area (out of combat, too).

If you want more damage equip a Sword (or two) as this helps. As for even more damage increase your Magicka pool by a lot. This will increase the Magicka abilities damage on mobs. I have most of my Att. Points in Magicka and a few in HP.

Then eat food that increases your HP and Magicka and you'll see better damage.

Also consider using Marked Target on 1 of your mobs (if you have 3 you're facing). Here's a video I recorded fighting more than 1 mob using the ability. It increases you damage quite a bit:

(( this is just a simple video showing how Marked Target can benefit the NB, nothing more))

Do no spam this ability or you will drain your Magicka. Typicall use it once, another if your HP is low and you're about to finish off one mob (I morphed mine to heal me when I kill the mob)

Marked Target helps you when you're stuck out of stealth by allowing your light/heavy attacks to push out more damage as the ability buffs your weapon damage. This is huge for us.

I won't disagree: our DPS when we're not stealthed is pretty bad - we're insane damage when coming out of sneak.

Note: always choose the toughest mob to kill FIRST! Mark it, Surprise attack in and finish it. (or a healer in the group first)
