Dagger Mastery

Dagger Mastery is an assassin secondary attribute.

“

Dagger Mastery increases the damage you do with daggers and your chance to inflict a critical hit when using a dagger. There is a 2% chance per rank of Dagger Mastery that attacks from your daggers will double strike. Many skills, especially dagger attack skills, become more effective with higher Dagger Mastery.
