Guild Wars 2

This isn’t anything game-breaking but how about we let Dagger Training affect all the utilities that uses dagger? Impairing Daggers, Distracting Daggers, and Dagger Storm all say they throw daggers but the trait only affects the attacks done by the dagger weaponsets. This wouldn’t technically be considered a buff since the tooltip says

Dagger Training: “Dagger attacks have a chance to poison enemies.”

Impairing Daggers: “Fling multiple daggers at a single enemy, inflicting conditions.”

Distracting Daggers: “Equip daggers that can be thrown to interrupt enemies and increase the cooldown of abilities interrupted.”

Dagger Storm: “Spin around, reflecting projectiles and throwing daggers that cripple and bleed nearby foes. You can move while spinning.”

Thoughts?

Good idea Makes sense to that.

dont forget about lotus training! what? op? nooooooo (;

Utility skills are classified using different categories. Distracting Daggers in under Physical category while Dagger Storm is under Trick category. Unfortunately, this is how ArenaNet separates the skills.

I agree with you and by extension, Dagger Storm is also a Physical skill thus it needs to have its cooldown reduced and give endurance when I spec for Brawler Tenacity.

I thought about that and I don’t think it would be op. That deathblossom/perma-evade build relies on Acr/Trk/DD. Acro to give perma vigor and Trk for the high initiative pool. By taking DA over Trk, sure you have lots of poison application but would it outweigh the initiative pool and caltrops on dodge? It will bump DA for sure but Trk is IMO the best core traitline on thief.

*Trk is IMO the best core traitline on METAthief. not the one we talk about. this goes off topic as its only about DA and DD but both are mandatory for high skill play (yes, even on condi). Trick WOULD be if u got the respective traits (toc, bounti & soh) but the caltrops and 5sec confusion are replaceble. as condi u dont rely too much on bountis boons (nice name for a band huh?)

This actually makes sense and is reasonable. Anet make this change.
