I am toying with AoL mixed with Dagger and Heart of Fury. It seems to do rather good spikes, I plan on taking the Sunspear Skill to perm. AoL/HoF. Is this a fesiable combo for PvE? or no? if so what should i take for attack skills/heal or even teleport?

It's feasable as in you can beat PvE with it, however, in practice a scythe with [mystic sweep] and [eremite's attack] hits both faster and harder than a dagger-wielder. Scythes also get the very sexy [aura of holy might], which makes big scythe numbers even bigger.

As for the other stuff, shadow steps are of negligible use in PvE - the surprise factor/positional advantage offered is meaningless against dumb AI; and as for heals? Meh. I take [save yourselves!] and have faith in my healers instead.

a kitty dies every time someone who's not an assassin decides to use daggers Q_Q

yeah daggers are really not a good enough weapon to go out of your way to use.

I have seen literally every form of /A dagger users. The only one that's halfway decent is Rt/A spirit's strength. That's not bad really. All the other classes are just more beneficial and capable of doing their own primary class job imo.

But but but Me/A can use [Illusionary Weaponry] with daggers!!!!111oneone

...now that I'm done laughing, Alex pretty much has it right, Dervs and Warriors are basically the only class that should really use both of the PvE skills (Kurzick/Luxon and Sunspear) at all times. In fact, like he's suggesting, it wouldn't be a bad idea at all to be D/W with [Eternal Aura], [Aura of Holy Might], and [Save Yourselves!] all together.

R/A was decent at one point

Its a fun gimmick in RA, but its not that good in PVE, because single target damage without a bonus is sort of pointless. Its why the build used in pve 99.9% of the time when not farming through SF or Ursaning is Moebius Death Blossom.
