Awekned summoner with dagger

[Mushi]

Hi i have question for summoner players
i saw few summoners with dagger it is good ?
i checked it on my summons with vespers weapon and diffrence is small in crit rate or atk.spd and p.atk is about 1k diffrent and my cast.spd is much better than with bow
my question is why they had dagger ?
dps with apo shaper +haste is better than apo bow + focus ??
and any other awakened class than rouge can wear dual dagers ?

Afaik, only dagger masters can wear Dual daggers.

About using a Dagger I don't know, may be they want to not jeopardize their cast time fully with a dagger. I am personally using a Bow (Apo Thrower Focus) on my summoner. With level 1 Iss Buffs, I got 1100+ atk speed, 480+ critical rate on cougars. Imo the loss of P.Atk with a dagger is not a good option seeing the small increase you could get

Any awakened character can use dual daggers Laby, but there is no real point to it.

Bow adds alot of patk, and while daggers might add better crit rate, the overall patk from the bow is most likely more dps.

It might have something to do with the cast speed nerf, but I doubt it.

Diff between bow and dagger is generally one has high atk speed low p.atk while the other has high p.atk low attack speed.

Daggers were always balanced through their skills while archers used to be balanced through their physical auto attacks (obviously that's changed a bit) so the weapons were balanced accordingly.

Bow is always better for summoners because of the say stats scale. You transfer way more p.atk to your summons than you do attack speed.
