Effectively DPS over the long term for high DMG daggers is about 1.5 or 2.0 times what the 'stat' indicates... do some math and come back and talk to me.

Don't believe me - go buy yourself some lv 31 incandenscant blades and some lv 31 mountain teeth and tell me what you think afterwards... There's a reason the Mountains teeth have a higher demand than the incandescant blades.


I think you're a bit confused. There has been several post from Devs stating pretty much exactly what I said above. I don't even want to touch on the fact you just compared trash crate blades that go for 450 gold in CS to Leet blade that drop from a leet boss and also so happens to be only second to a pair of Arcane Hooks. I mean of course they're better... fact remains DmG IS directly associated with the DmG your skills put out...DpS IS...well, I said it already..
