Hello all fellow Thieves out there!
Recently I bought Blau Dolch and I wanted to test a few configurations of daggers in order to pick the best one.
What I did was 3x50 Sneak Attacks on Huge Hornets (always only level 1) just outside Bastok Mines. So - 150 Sneak Attacks in total.
My stats were:
STR: 62+15
DEX: 80+34/37 (depending on whether I was using Mis+1 or not)
Attack: 348/364 (depending on whether I was using Blau Dolch or not)
Here's the table:
Code:
wDMG: 35 Att: 364 DEX:80+34 wDMG: 35 Att: 348 DEX:80+37 wDMG: 33 Att: 364 DEX:80+37
50 harpe/blau harpe/mis+1 blau/mis+1
average 576,52 590,92 580,52
max 600 (22x, 44%) 611 (23x, 46%) 600 (29x, 58%)
min 527 (1x, 2%) 536 (1x, 2%) 530 (1x, 2%)
And here's what's important - a chart:

X axis - number of hits
Y axis - damage
As you can see - higher DEX results in placing the whole damage curve higher, and thus - moving highest dmg scores a few numbers up (611 dmg instead of 600).
More attack makes the damage curve more steep - resulting in more highest (capped) dmg scores (29/50 (58% of times), instead of 22-23 (44-46% of times).
So - summing up - with 178 delay, Attack+16 and Accuracy+5 I think that Blau Dolch/Misericorde+1 Is the best combo for me. I'll try to make more tests with more daggers (like Behemot's Knife+1 or P. Harpe when I get it).
Anyway - I wanted to share it with you guys.
