Here are the pros of Daggers in Throne and Liberty:

1) Mobility and Stealth

This will allow you to quickly close gaps between enemies, create surprise-attack opportunities, and vanish from the battlefield using your stealth options.

2) Burst Damage

With a well-optimized Dagger build in Throne and Liberty, you can deal a lot of burst damage. If you invest in the right skills, it can be extremely effective in PvP encounters.

3) High Critical Hit Rate and Critical Hit Damage

Daggers have a high critical hit rate, which greatly increases your chances of landing critical strikes and dealing lots of critical damage. This makes it very damaging against squishy enemies with low armor and resistance.

4) Poison and Crowd Control

You can inflict poison on your enemies with Daggers, which can be useful for crowd control (CC) tactics. Poison will damage enemies over time, greatly weakening them. Moreover, CC abilities like stun and silence can disrupt your opponent’s flow and create opportunities for unique counters.

Although Daggers are very damaging, here are some of the cons you should keep in mind:

1) Low Defense

Daggers are fragile and you will not have very high defensive abilities with this build. As such, you need to be more masterful of the weapon and use an appropriate weapon in your other hand to compensate for it.

2) Lack of Range

Daggers are short-range weapons and you will have to get close and personal to your enemies to deal effective damage. This forces you to adjust your playstyle, and the lack of range can be quite problematic at times.

3) No AoE Damage

While Daggers have CC abilities, they lack any significant AoE (Area of Effect) capabilities. You will have to adhere to a single-target playstyle to be effective with Daggers. Dealing with multiple enemies at once relies mainly on your other weapon. Weapons like the Greatsword pair extremely well with Daggers.
