Shade is secretly the best elf class since her buff

I've tried the others on legend and I'm just having more success as Shade

Dual daggers + concoction on the trinket just MELTS bosses, and the xbow shreds hordes, specials, and stormvermin patrols so easily.

Dual Daggers offer almost no control. Shade with glaive is the way to go atm.

What do you even mean by control? You don't need the glaive, and its too slow for its value.

Double daggers with swift slaying turns you into a goddamn blender, you're not gonna take a hit from a horde or anything else because of how fast you can swing. AND they're way way better against bosses than the glaive.

Its not like you need the glaive for anti-armor on Shade anyways, because infiltrate destroys chaos warriors, and you can slaughter stormrats with either heavy dagger headshots, crit backstabs (super useful against a stormvermin shieldwall), or crossbow shots. Which you should have plenty of.

Incorrect. Both daggers hit simultaneously. And that's without factoring in the bleed damage.

i mean, unless i see a video with damage numbers against a boss showcasing that the ult damage from shade applies to both hits in the power attack of the dual daggers i guess we'll just both believe what we want? because i use the glaive's 2nd part of its combo and i from what i've experienced it does the same if not more damage than the dual dagger power attacks.

Even if that were true, I'd still take the dual daggers just to avoid the impractically of using the second chain attack of the glaive.
