Weapon advantages?Follow
Is there an advantage to a Scout class using a dagger? Or is there a lot of flexibility in weapon choice? I've seen a sword or an axe or two that look more appealing than some daggers. Thanks in advance!

You will get new skills that are piercing based - Pierce and Impale. I normally keep 1 piercing and 1 slasjing weapon equipped to take advantage of all skills.
Pick the weapon you like and go with it, change weapons as needed.
There is no major advantage to using a dagger over the other weapons. You do get some skills that decrease the targets defence to Pierce but I have not found the effects to be that noticable.
I find its best to pick a couple weapons you like and switch out as needed. For example, using a dagger on a Skeletion doesnt do you all that much good. :) I keep all my weapon skills maxed so I can use the best weapon I have at that time. I use a Rapier and a Whip, mainly because it gives my char two tails. :)

I was thinking about using a sword/rapier and a dagger, to keep those skills up... axes look cool too, but my axe skill is currently maxed anyway...? But my slashing isn't. Oh well; it will be fun to figure it all out! Keep giving tips if you got them.

Axe skill is maxed because its its not like slashing...all that means is that you can equip an axe with lets say requiring 100 skill if you have 100 skill in that weapon. Also I have never really seen a point to slashing based weapons for the sole fact that as a scout we use agi a lot and most of the weapons with high agi are piercing. Just my 2cp on that...
Depends really.
I use weapons with very little delay and a decent amount of dmg so I'll hit faster and harder. I see alot of scouts that have weapons with delays of 1.5-1.7sec. Those weapons deal more damage, but if you reduce the delay I feel that you'll do more DoT since you have more of a chance to land a hit.
The next thing I look for is +agi.
A great mid-teen - 20+ weapon is the dual wield dagger you get from firemyst gully doing the cleansing quest. And its very easy to do as a rogue since you can sneak to all of the sigils and click them.

You will want to keep you slashing skill raised, because 40+ you'll quest for the short sword of the ykesha, which right now is the best scout weapon in the game. And trust me, it's a pain to raise it when you're fighting mobs 20 levels higher than your skill :)
BAH, is rapier a piercing weapon? It makes sense that it would be, but unfortunately that was the "sword" I was hoping would increase my slashing skill. I'd better find a new sword.
