Odd, for some reason, trying to view the skilltree you posted gets stuck at loading around 95-98%. Even tried viewing your chars profile and it too suffers the same bug. Not sure if that's a problem on my end or the site itself.

Also, does this have to be purely dagger? Can a person go with claws or swords instead and still get similar dps?

Claws are pretty close to the damage daggers can do, and get free life and mana leech from the tree which gives you more flexibility in general. Swords aren't so great but can definitely work. It would just be a matter of moving skill points around for either of them... I'll probably put the adjustments in the guide soon.

Seems to have fixed itself, I think it was a problem on the website itself as there was a thread about it on the Tech Support subforum here with others reporting the same issue. I tried a version of this on my assassin with 2 300+ pdps daggers and most of the recommended gear, relying on warlord's mark on CWDT and Atziri flask for life leech is a bit touch and go though, and I was rolling around with less than 6.5k ES. The DPS was pretty good though, Xoph himself during a regular breach in a Tier9 map. After that went to try it with a dagger and ES shield (about 425 or so ES on it with some res), had a bit more survivability, but the DPS deficiency was noticable. Lastly took a few points off dagger in passives and added some for claw mainly for the leech claw offers while having a scourge on offhand. It's an interesting compromise, one the on hand you get some leech and damage is alright, so it offers a bit more security. May try it with a high pDPS claw instead.

Really glad you tried the build! I should try dual wield myself some time, I'm a little too addicted to defense. Focusing on claws or daggers and not both would be a lot more damage though. If the rest of the build is all in place, Xoph in a tier 9 should pretty much get deleted :^) Not sure why leech was a problem... Warlord's Mark should be enough on its own. Blood Rage is a nice bonus as well.

edit: I see your character is using Witchfire Brew which would overwrite Warlord's Mark, so that may have been the problem

I only use Brew on "oh shit" situations or bosses. 99% of the map clearing I use the other 4 flasks liberally. Probably may replace my Surgeon's Granite Flask with a Taste of Hate that's collecting dust on my Zerker.
