The best dagger leveling build. Great burst and utility. Huge ambush crits. Dominates world pvp.
The talents Remorseless Attacks and
Improved Ambush combined with your characters crit chance get your ambush to 100% crit chance.
One of the best leveling talents, definitely worth the two points. It is even better in this build because with Improved Ambush you will have 100% Ambush crit chance when this talent procs.
20% ambush and backstab damage. The increased garrote doesn't hurt early on before you get good daggers.
Movespeed is great.
Must get, most important talent in the build. This talent is the reason ambush leveling is decent.
I take for utility, could take Initiative.
Decent talent for short fights (leveling). An alternative is Elusiveness.
Great talent for pvp and dungeons. Useful while leveling because it allows you to isolate targets. Note: make sure to have Vanish ready if you are sapping in dungeons. If you don't want take Initiative.
Not that great, but is needed for Hemorrhage.
Great talent, replaces Sinister Strike and builds combo points very fast due to the low energy cost.
The best pvp talent you can get. This will allow you to escape sticky situations and make big plays.
Increasing the duration to 6 seconds allows you to re-stealth after gouging in pvp. While leveling the increased duration will allow you to regenerate more energy while the enemy is incapacitated.
Because you will be using Hemorrhage instead of
Sinister Strike, you might as well get the 2% dodge.
This talent is the main reason we go combat. 30% increased crit chance is insane.
Hit chance is a huge dps increase.
I prefer Improved Sprint to
Endurance. This talent is mainly for pvp, although you will occasionally encounter mobs that snare you while leveling.
Keep in mind that after you select this talent you should value offhand daggers higher than other weapon types.
Blade Flurry backstabs are great. You could even pop
Blade Flurry before ambushing.
Round off the build with increased crit chance.
