Daggers don't crit as often as say a Sword does. You would have to find gear with +Crit Strike to increase them, as well as try to stat close to the damage ratio, and for daggers that is 90/10 Dex/Str.


Perhaps try using a few +Crit Strike glyphs? I have a couple on my market for 1fg right now, and usually keep a few on there.

Crits don't really matter so much as overall damage in my opinion. I'd recommend getting a medium armor with 20+ dex and you'll see an increase in damage :)

This is a very good point.

Don't sacrifice your damage just to hit a few more red numbers.

Daggers are a fine weapon, they just don't crit very often compared to say a sword. They still can do very nice damage if you build your character appropriately. Do as Nev said, get a Dex armor and you will see an increase in your damage.

Also using your Abilities correctly and often will also increase your damage over time.

and if u campare daggers to staffs: are they crit more often then daggers?

Because they are al little cheaper (i guess) and do more damage. do they??

Just thinking to get a staff instead of a dagger....

In theory, all weapons do the same average damage.

Yes, staffs are cheaper, but only usable by a few classes. (feeder, monk, warlock)

Personally, i would continue to use daggers. That way you wont have to buy more weapons if you pass to samurai.
