Dagger Rogues can be played in a number of ways depending on your play style and budget. I'll be sharing some of my personal favorites.
This build focuses on the skill Double Attack (duh) where we maximize damage output by hitting fast and hitting hard.
Stat Distribution -Since we are using auto hits we will prioritize adding points on Agility keeping it at least 10 points above Strength to balance speed and damage. Only add Dexterity when you feel like your missing your target more often than you should.
At level 70 your stats may look like this:
Skill Progression
Dagger Proficiency 10- Adds 60 to attack when using daggers and additional 200 damage when doing normal attacks
Plagiarism - Level only up to desired skill to be copied
LvL 1 Call Spirit - Drainliar(Ant Hell in Sograt Desert) - Adds a total of 50 attack and 10% ignore Def max stack
LvL 3 Enchant Deadly Poison - Cookies (Toy factory 1) add 9% attack (How to get to Toy Factory? Got to Aldebaran ,it's the city north of prontera, talk to santa clause at top left corner of the map)
Tunnel Drive 5 - Decrease hide movement penalty by 25%, increase Flee by 10%
Snatch 5 - Active skill 5% chance to steal zeny (take this only to unlock it's passive)
Rob 10 - 20% chance to drop x2 loots from monsters when killed
Back stab (remaining points) - Deals 900% damage at lvl10 3sec cooldown 1.5sec skill delay
Skills- AUTO slot - Normal Attack+Backstab+copied buff
Dagger Proficiency 10
Plagiarism (lvl of choice)
Back Stab- 10
Tunnel Drive -5
Snatch 5> Rob (remaining points)
Skills
Dagger Proficiency 10
Tunnel drive 5> Enhanced Hiding 5- Withing 11secs after hide state is removed, available skills can still be cast (buffed ambush, Raid skill)
Back stab- 5
Raid 5- Deals 300% damage in a small area, targets hit suffer 15% more damage 5sec cooldown can only be casted while in hide
Snatch 5> Rob (remaining points)
This build deals a ton of damage but also eats up a ton of SP, this will require investment for SP maintenance ( eating lvl1 cook food x999) and will only work if ENHANCED HIDING is learned.
Stat Distribution- Since this build focus on skill spam, all points go towards Strength for maximum damage
Skills - Basically you put Hide+Ambush+copied buff on AUTO slots
Dagger Proficiency 10
Tunnel Drive 5> Enhanced Hiding 5
Snatch 5> Rob 10
Plagiarism (lvl of skill choice)
Level 40-50 Under Sea Cave Mobs, Sunken Ship Mobs, GOBLINS!!!!!!!!(Goblins Slayer!!!!)
Level 45-55 ANTS ANTS ANTS
Level 50-60 Magnolia(love my sunny side up), Desert Wolf,
Level 55-65 Skeleton Soldier, Matyrs
Level 60-70 Horongs,Munaks, Eggyras (Time to get Spiritual)
TIP: Killing lower level mobs is fine even with penalty since you kill them faster.
Full Black Dagger- Tier it to T2 ASAP love it treasure it and it will love you back
Offhand:
Fox Bracer - for your attack speed needs great for those who will use the DA and DA sub builds
Floral Bracelet - slowly tier it up to 3 or even upgrade it to ROSA BRACELET for more ignore def since mobs will start getting defense post level 40 this is especially effective for the AMBUSH build.
Armor:
Rogue Clothes>>Thief Clothes- this armor will provide you with lots of STRENGTH allowing you to unlock Fullblack's tier 3 effect sooner.
Garment:
Coat of Dragon Scale- cheap starter gear that gives Str+2 and 200Hitpoints
Ancient Cape- ignore def 15% nuff said
Cape of Blue Elves- 15 flee also give strength when tiered up
Shoes:
Teddy Sack Shoes- Generally for DA users
Shoes (geffen crafted)- for your SP needs
