This Poison Daggers build focuses on throwing poisoned daggers using Preparation and Trick Shot to build up Plague stacks. Battlefield Awareness is also included to help answer your energy gain, so your attack uptime stays consistent!

Do note that this build is made until Level 22 so you can achieve max Divinity for both classes once you complete all the quests. Any additional points after that level can be slotted into maxing out Vanish and increasing Enhanced Ailments.

August 7, 2025 Poison Dagger Reaver build was created.

ψ The stats shown above are a sample build of what you want to go for when building your character.

In terms of offense, the equipment for this build revolves around stacking Poison Damage and Ailment Power to further amplify its venom. As a general rule, only get Ailment Chance up until you reach 150%+ chance to guarantee 2-3 Plague Stacks each hit.

Additionally, Ailment Duration can be slotted in, as you will have downtime waiting for your Energy to regenerate, hence the inclusion of Energy Regeneration. As for defense, stock up on the appropriate amount of Health and Resistances!

Alternatively, the Moonclaw will be a great transitional necklace for when the build will eventually take more of a critical hit route to answer its Energy problems!

The main offensive skill will be Trick Shot, which is modified with the Ranged Weapon to allow for your equipped weapon to be thrown, which includes melee weapons like daggers. When dual-wielding, each dagger will serve as one hit, hence the ability to proc two plague stacks with each throw!

To further amp up the Poison, Preparation is included as well to coat your chosen daggers with venom, leading to massive Weapon Poison Damage. As soon as these two skills have been specced into, Battlefield Awareness should answer your Energy problems by slotting in Conservation and Inspiration while also increasing your survivability.

Lastly, Vanish is slotted in to provide an additional means of mobility and enhance your Ailment Power by slotting in the indicated modifiers. As you level up, consider taking Deadly Strike or Enhanced Duration!

Levelling Skills

During the campaign, it would be best to use the Whirlwind skill from Warfare, as you will often struggle with Energy when you adopt this build early. Consider slotting in a Shadow Strike-modified Lethal Strike for mobility as well!

The passives for this build mainly enhance the following stats: Weapon Damage, Poison Damage, Projectile Damage, and Ailment Amount as a basic foundation for the build starting at 22. Onwards, you will be including Critical Hits into your arsenal, so plan around it accordingly!

Divinity Allocation Points

Divinity Allocation
Rogue ▶ Warfare

For your Divinity, make sure to unlock Tier 2 of Rogue first so you can get Preparation early to start dealing Poison Damage. Once you have that, you can start focusing on Warfare to get Battlefield Awareness, as Energy will be a problem!

Attribute Priority

Attribute Prioritization
Agility ▶ Vigor

Your Attributes mainly consist of Agility to help increase your Poison Damage, and also enable you to equip Daggers and Medium Armor. Consider taking a few points in Vigor to increase your survivability, and subsequently buffing your Poison Damage.

Keep in mind to at least have 80-100 Vigor so that you can still tank some damage if a fight is tough!

Playstyle and Skill Rotation

The Poison Daggers Reaver build revolves around kiting enemies to line them up to clear them with the infinite penetration of Trick Shot. As for boss fights, it is weaving in dodges with 2-3 shots to retain the Plague stacks while waiting for Energy. The rotation is as follows:

  1. Activate Preparation and Battlefield Awareness to enable your Poison Damage and Energy Regeneration.
  2. Buff yourself with Vanish as soon as the fight starts.
  3. Clear them with Trick Shot daggers and kite them to wait for energy.
  4. Rinse and repeat starting from step 2.
