Does "Sharpen Daggers" affect "Dancing Daggers" or "crippling dagger"??? - Guild Wars Forums

So, does sharpen daggers affect the throwing dagger skills in deadly arts?

Also, someone please explain how deadly paradox works? How is it effective/productive. In terms of dancing and crippling daggers.. wouldnt deadly haste be better for recharging?

-No. DD and CD are spells, not dagger attacks. The 'send out a dagger' part is just flavour text. Your daggers don't actually matter.

-In terms of those two spells, Deadly Haste would be preferable*. DP is good for reducing the recharge of skills, like it says in the description. It's used to maintain Shadow Form, but has no real use outside of that.

*That said, it's not really worthwhile using either of those two skills in the first place.

Dancing Daggers is good for assacaster builds and, I believe, crippling dagger has its uses in PvP.

@ the OP: I agree with Marty about DH. It is far more effective for dancing daggers use than DP, which is too energy intensive.

That's implying asscaster builds are good.

And since when do people use either of those skills for crippling dagger?

I never said either skill was used for crippling dagger, nor did I say that assacasters were the best builds out there.

Yeah, when people get bored doing their discordway caller builds and want to futz around (because honestly, the henchies can kill everything without your input in the first place), they bust out some Assassacaster builds and have some fun.

I support this.
