Update 5.9.2013: getting better ANet, still way to go!
A Lannister always pays his debts – For everyone else, there’s Mastercard.
I just wondered why we can’t use daggers in Mainhand.
A shortbladed weapon usually is THE second weapon for any Bow user.
Every archer has a dagger.
there is no realy reason why you can be a master of offhand daggers, but are to stupid to hold it in your other hand
Not so in GW2 :-/
We have 3 Ranged and 1 Melee mainhand weapon (Bow/Bow/Axe vs GS/Sword)
If you want to be a melee ranger you will have to run Sword in the Mainhand, if you dont wanna be a GS player.
A Dagger could offer a lot more variety to our builds and even some new technics.
I thought about something like this:
1) Chain Skill
— 1 Slash you foe with your dagger
— 2 Quickly stab your enemy, critical strike chance increased by 50%
2) Through your dagger at your target and get pulled towards your target. If you hit an enemy, you will apply cripple for 2 seconds. A friendly Player will get regeneration for 3 seconds. Finisher: leap
3) In short duration quickly through 3 daggers at your enemy. The last hit deals double damage
i know, that Anet will never do something like this.
but it was fun thinking about it anyways :-P
Unfortunately we here at Anet, do not agree. We don’t like anything remotely close to what everyone else does, and we feel that giving rangers a dagger would be to much like an actual ranger. So we’ve decided not to, because we feel it would be to cool, and we don’t like to think at all. and it woudl take thinking.
We have a 1h sword. Too bad it’s broken!
