[QUOTE="Nemesis Destiny, post: 5688309, member: 98255"] It really depends on the character. The idea of a character that can just whip out any weapon and rock with it is somewhat neutered by being so dependent on your enhancement bonus. Using the inherent bonus system solves this somewhat (combined with Master at Arms). Typically though, I will take one main (melee or ranged), one backup (melee or ranged, opposite of the main choice), and others as situations require. A dagger does make a handy backup. With implement users, the story is usually different for me. I'll use a collection of whatever implements I can find, even at a couple plusses behind. I've found with implements, properties can be far more enticing. My implement characters will usually carry a dagger for backup, either melee or ranged. With ranged at-will powers, sometimes it makes more sense to use a melee weapon for backup, and if you need to make an OA attack, a dagger is at least accurate enough to offset the fact that as an implement user, you probably suck at MBAs.
