Should I go dagger dagger stamina Dragonknight? Community-reported
Exploring the viability of a dagger-dagger stamina Dragonknight build in The Elder Scrolls Online.
Community answer · written from a player question · not datamined; verify in gameDagger-Dagger Stamina Dragonknight Overview
Using a dagger-dagger setup for a stamina Dragonknight can be a viable choice, particularly for players who prefer a fast-paced, agile playstyle. This setup allows for quick attacks and the potential to apply various status effects, which can be beneficial in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Dagger builds often focus on skills that enhance critical damage and apply bleed effects, making them effective for burst damage.
Skills and Sets to Consider
Dual Wield's own passive Twin Blade and Blunt is where daggers pay off: "Each dagger increases your Critical Chance rating by 657." Twin Slashes deals "580 Bleed Damage with each weapon" plus a bleed over 20 seconds, and Ambidextrous "Increases Weapon and Spell Damage by 6% of off-hand weapon's damage."
Vigor (Alliance War, Assault) is a heal, not damage: it heals "for 3480 Health over 10 seconds." Reach (also Alliance War, Assault) is a passive that "Increases the range of long-range abilities by 5 meters while near a keep or outpost", so it adds no damage to a dagger build.
Harpooner's Wading Kilt is a Mythic medium leg piece: "Each stack of Hunter's Focus increases your Critical Chance by 110 and your Critical Damage by 1%." Skip the Maelstrom Arena weapon sets here: their only slots are "Weapons(Greatsword Maul Battleaxe)", two-handed weapons, so a dagger-dagger character cannot wear them.
Champion Points and Playstyle
When allocating Champion Points, focus on those that enhance your stamina regeneration and critical damage. The 'Warfare' tree is particularly useful for increasing your damage output, while the 'Fitness' tree can help improve your survivability. A dagger-dagger build typically emphasizes mobility and quick strikes, so maintaining a balance between offense and defense is crucial.
What Isn't Confirmed
While many players have reported success with dagger-dagger stamina Dragonknight builds, individual performance can vary based on playstyle, gear, and group composition. It's important to experiment with different skills and sets to find what works best for you.
