I like to abide by what is meta and be as efficient as possible, which is staff right now for fractals and raids. Is there a chance dagger will surpass staff in the future?
I just want incinerator but there’s no point if I only use it in PvP.

Dagger/Dagger is Great in fractals and Raids using a core build

At its absolute peak, I do believe D/D is the best PvE DPS set. Staff very well could be better. PvE optimal performance will be DA/CS/DrD as Trickery is pretty much an unnecessary addition when most of the damage comes from pressing 1.

I have tested the too builds in raids with D/D for the DA/CS/TR and DrD, the Tr was a lot easier to maintain the DPS at the time and was a much better Rotation which left dodges for Defense vs Offense haven’t tested recently so it could have changed but I doubt it. Staff build does have more overall survivability plus AoE, and any fight that forces perma Reveal it will be better.

Staff is for the lazy. D/D is better but requires more effort and positioning.

Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

Numerous tests on dps golem shows that staff deals significantly more damage than d/d. It’s also easier to use and is more survivable with evade frames. I really want it not to be, though, because I want to use my Incinerator in pve.

I stand corrected; that said, in optimal environments staff only performs about 3% better than D/D.
