Bow or dagger?

[Zneak]

I use a dagger but the only thing is that sometimes when I get to the enemy trying to finish them off with my auto attack a Mage or archer has already killed them, and sometimes I don't want to get close to the enemy because they are to powerful, but my dagger is more powerful, what should I use: bow or dagger?

I personally prefer using bows since they are much better for PvP but daggers are quite fun to use and are really good at doing dps to bosses. Bow is what I suggest but it all depends on the place your using the weapon.

I do PvE, I do agree with you, i have 527 dps but with a bow I could only have a maximum of about 380 dps with less armour aswell. So I actually a, gong to stay with a dagger and I recommend it!

DPS doesn't really mean much. The only reason DPS on a dagger is high is because of the weapon speed. Base dmg and skill dmg are way more important than DPS. If you factor in enemies' armor, base dmg and skill dmg, the 'real' DPS of a dagger would be way lower as compared to a bow.

It contains the last test I did for Bow vs Daggers (shanks in this case).
