Anyone know why Dagger gets so muchless rep than Cutlass?

[Poison elf]

Part may be how you used your points, if you put points in first atacks or swipe, its like stated above you are doing to much damage.

If not use first three or so atacks over and over with asp/alder and throw dirt, then right at the end with barely any health something like viper nest.

Some think this is all wrong and to just use highest skill you have, so I would recomend going and testing it out what you get the most rep with.
