All hail Zealous daggers! I started with whatever I could find/was given by my guildmates, until I eventually got a hold of a set of Kenshi's Butterfly Daggers. Actually, these dropped for a guildmate, but she didn't have an assassin so she gave them to me. From there, I upgraded to the Factions end-game Ceremonials until I saw Everthorn's, then I quickly switched (they just look so much better).

My build has evolved since then, using low energy skills and high CS (11+1+1) for optimal energy. DM is 11+1 and I recently switched to Paragon for Command 8. I get 5 energy per crit and with 17% (DM) + 13% (CS) + 6% (CE) = 46% on every attack. "Go for the Eyes!" at 8 gives a 54% chance of a crit, or 100% when combined with the rest.

Skills are low energy quick recharge, Jagged Strike, Wild Strike, Twisting Fangs, Horns of the Ox, Moebius Strike, Critical Eye, "Go for the Eyes!", Res Signet (sunspear or regular...I'm wondering though about trying Signet of Return...I probably won't be using it as a combat res, a A/P with a hard res could be interesting).

With this build and the Zealous, it usually goes, crit eye, jagged, wild, horns, moebius, fangs, moebius (most pve monsters are below half at this point, so refresh), horns, moebius, repeat until dead. Spam 'GftE!' whenever you get enough adrenaline (which is often with the high rate of attack, dual attacks and dual strikes). I don't think this would be as feasible with a lower energy regen from zealous + crit eye + 13 crit though, so yeah, Zealous Daggers...nothing better.

Use "Goes for the eye!" , Repeating Strike, Critical eye with sundering dagger work wonder for me. Mostly use only 1 enrgy per skill use due to enrgy gain on Critical stike Atrribute.

Just picked up the ch3 end game daggers and havnt had a chance to try them out yet

My main daggers are Cruel Oni Daggers of enchanting. They come with +5 E and I dont have many nenrgy problems. Cruel seems to work pretty well for me in PvE, even tho it lands on top of the bleeding with TF
