Question about dagger skill

what stat does it increase dagger skill dmg?
i made a little testing char, got it to lv30
added equal points to each stat one at the time. each time testing all skills at lv5
how ever it seems that the dmg is unaffected by any stat increase? (or did i add too little points to notice difference?)

i wanna make a brawler class char (coz punching atk looks awesome) that main dagger skill and call it !!NINJA!! (lol)
ok, jokes aside...
i really just wanna make something different from the normal 4 classes for the fun factor
but if the dagger skill is set dmg based on the item(dagger) used, with no way to increase dmg output (apart front increasing crit dmg?)
i was reading up builds on dagger i ran across a post with someone saying that
the max output non crit of dagger skill "Gatling dagger" was about 1k dmg per hit?

ideas guys?

 

dagger skill dmg is scaled based on player's attack
for brawlers, agi will increase your dagger damage
sword+daggers... str or dex will increase your dagger damage but choose str for crit damage
bowgun+dagger... dex will increase your dagger damage

 

Damage increases based on your atk stat. The stat maybe you're pertaining to is Dex Str Agi, smth like that. It depends on what weapon you use, if you use staff, STR increases your atk, Bowguns are increased by DEX. 1h gets atk either from STR and Dex. Bows can use Dagger skills only if you use thorny twig. Brawlers get atk from AGI.

Brawlers with maxed out dagger passives and brawler passives can proc guard break more often than any other weapon because guard break procing is from each hit you generate. and brawlers with maxed out aggravate strong chase and dagger passives can hit for 8 times per attack.

 

That

That sound crazy xD
Thanks for the info!
