sword/dagger ranger build help
Sword still very glitchy weapon. It’s really strong in close combat, but sword attack interrupts your own actions, like finishing enemy or even simply strafing.
If you don’t turn off auto attack, you will fail with sword.
Sword dagger is still super viable (even with auto attack on). Most close combat condi rangers have moved to Axe/dagger and Sword/(torch or other) though. This gives you an extra evade with both weapon sets.
I’m currently running a modified trap build with honed axes instead of Trapper’s Expertise. Axe/Axe with Sword/Dagger. Its fun little combo, use path of scars to pull enemies into you’re flame trap and then split blade them … right in the face.
