Attack Speed
Does anyone know the attack speed of a dagger??? --Ninja Quail @ 2/15/06

A dagger swings every 1,25 sec. tested it with the preorder daggers.
 * Where did you get preorder daggers from??? -PanSola 05:36, 11 March 2006 (CST)
 * Nvmind, I thought only corresponding professions would get them. -PanSola 05:50, 11 March 2006 (CST)


 * Did you count swings over a long period of time to determine that? --68.142.14.64 12:42, 11 March 2006 (CST)

I tried them several times on the practice targets for 60 seconds, counted 47-49 hits. A friend did the same and got the same results.

BTW, when testing, make sure your Dagger Mastery is adjusted to 0, and make sure when you report results, SAY you tested with dagger mastery of 0. That attribute increases the probiblity that you hit for double-strikes, which mess up the count -PanSola 06:48, 12 March 2006 (CST)

Plurality?
Like Scissors and Pants? --PanSola 22:29, 21 February 2006 (CST)


 * Or my favorite, beers :D. Dagger is singular and daggers is plural of the word. You wouldn't say you have 2 dagger equipped. I didn't play the PvP Faction weekend, but did they have general equipment for the 2 new classes and with that their names as well? In PvE I have only seen Ritualist items and a lot of them too, but no Assassin weapons as of yet.


 * A question or two.. do you think ANet would just say like "Snakebite dagger" and it would be 2 daggers or can you equip 2 different types of daggers for each hand? Say a "Snakebite dagger" in your lead hand and a "Stonefist dagger" in your offhand? *Dagger names I made up for this example. --Gares Redstorm 22:51, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * If I recall correctly from the PvP weekend (and it's been quite a while so I could be wrong), the daggers are bundled in pairs. You can't chose which one for left hand and which one for right hand.  The pair of daggers all go into the right-hand slot and count as a two-handed weapon.  That said, I really didn't pay attention to the naming of the weapons. -PanSola 22:53, 21 February 2006 (CST)
 * If you check out the link in Factions to the Gamespot article from yesterday, and then check out the screenshots of Factions that they have, you can see the daggers on the PvP creation screen. They only come in pairs, but I can't remember if they are listed in the plural form or not.  --Rainith 01:08, 22 February 2006 (CST)

If you go to the PvP character creation, weapon selection, at the very bottom greyed out and unselectable are "Butterfly Daggers". -PanSola 09:01, 1 March 2006 (CST)
