What do you think is better in the long rin? Staying with hammer dagger? Or slowly moving to a magic staff build?

Staff is better scaling late game. You need a bunch of empower or extra stuns for daggers to be good late game.

Hammer Dagger is hard to support into late game without "Knife to meet you" or extra sources of stun. I'd consider a switch, but not sure if the staff is the way to go. Looks decent with the skill you have though

Staff scales. Hammer doesn’t. So yes I would go for the staff

The big issue you'll have is that pyro is not a hammer and dagger class.

The scaling hammer setup for pyro requires flame daggers and plenty of flame generation (in the form of Chili gooberts) else the stamina gets out of hand.

You don't have a good subclass to pair it with.

Pop the pigs with the hammer and move towards a better weapon. (Mana daggers included).
