The best dagger wielding class

[Kzach]

There seem to be quite a number of effective dagger-based builds out and about these days. Having just watched "The Expendables", I'm inspired once again to create a dagger-dude. Throwing, slashing, slicin'n'dicin', pinning people to walls, lots of minion killing goodness so you can describe all those neck and head shot one-shot kills, etc. Oh, and combos, gotta have good combos.

So, yeah, just wanted to hear some opinions on what good dagger builds there are out there; what are your favourites and why?

Sorcerer

Rogue then to Daggermaster... sorcerer is good, but they're just spell tossers, rogues are the ones you want to slice and dice. Rangers might be an interesting twist, the many off-turn attacks, minor attacks and twin strike also let you get all stabbity.

 

[Neonchameleon]

Rogue - it's designed round the dagger. Followed by monk - hamstrings, grapple-and-dagger, minion-killing with bursts, throwing (normal or starblade flurry). Sorceror if you want to spell-toss through your dagger.

 

[Joshua Randall]

Rogue, because nothing trumps a +1 attack bonus.

(Arguably, fighter too, for the same reason.)

 

[dvvega]

Rogue is the obvious choice and there is the Midnight Cloak fighting style from MP2

[Klaus]

Rogue.

But I like Sorcerers, as well. Artful Dodger rogues and Storm sorcerers overlap in ability scores, so they would make a neat multiclass or hybrid.

 

[Ardulac]

There's also the comedy option of Avenger (multi-class Rogue)/Daggermaster. Grab things to boost damage on crits, and crit on 27.75% of attacks.

 

[Ryujin]

From a flavour point of view, I think that Ranger would best suit what you're looking for. Lots of shifting and tumbling past enemies, two weapon attacking, etc..

Mechanically you might be looking for a Ranger/Rogue multi-class, or Ranger/Rogue Hybrid.

Only Daggermasters only work with rogue powers now.
