Dark elf dagger defender.

Resistance + field dressing offsets your low hp. Dagger maledictions rips up lowbie ranks.

This build is a beast at hero with STSF. Second legacy could be Flow or Soul or Space. Second spec could be axe or whip.

If you do whip, I recommend Space: whips disarm / offhand extremely reliably, and Ambidextrous Disarmer is one of the best edges in the game. You can watch Space go nuts with clutch disarms. If they flee to re-wield, they risk being blocked by STSF, or giving you a free STSF blocking charge. With STSF you want people to flee-reengage you. With Space they can't rewield safely without fleeing. Go nuts.

Let's see what you get:
1. Superb maledict + bleeding ability with daggers
2. Superb melee with STSF, 24 dex, concealed
3. Great tankiness both vs melee and direct damage and spells (24 dex, resistance, spellbane)
4. Great lag (whip or axe) and a semi-unreliable flee-blocking STSF that's a nice bonus on top
5. Great sustain with field dressing and poultice
6. No preps needed

I literally cannot think of any single character that could be an unfavourable matchup for you, if you have the head.

The only downside: villagers can't quaff-escape. Just hang around near the village and you should be fine.

Trust me when I say this is an insane build!
