I know there are a lot of good swords in the game. I was wondering though what the highest potential damage for a dagger might be? I found a merciless dagger that does 45-67 damage. With back stabbing maxed which gives a 50% chance of double damage, the effective damage of this dagger would be 67-100 or around the same as some of the best one handed swords (I have seen posts showing sword of the Gods at 71-100 damage).
The other aspect of this is range of attack. I was wondering if the game takes into account the lenthe of the weapon. For example a warrior using whirl, you would think would hit monsters from further away using a two handed sword as opposed to a dagger.
By the way the dagger I found that does 45-67 was a long dagger with no other magic stats or bonuses. In an earlier game I tried getting the nobleman dagger and it only came out with 9-31 damage as it is not a long dagger. So even with some bonus stats that seems to week. Has anyone gotten higher damage from the nobelman dagger, the one from the holy item quest?
