Yeah, I finally picked it up and gave it a runthrough. I'll try to get a few screenshots posted soon.
Dagger Pickup
I gave it a shot in Dynamis-Xarcabard with Yuriku's linkshell as the first test. I'm not used to the animation length yet and noticed that I was still attacking by the logs while it was going on.
Dynamis-Xarcabard
The damage range was anywhere from 500 on the PLD Demon NM to around 1200+ on the regular Demon NINs. The one thing I really liked is the fact that it maintained the range no matter what. It didn't matter if I was blinded or flashed, the 1x WS would connect without fail when stacked with SA or TA (something I'm not used to with DE's 5x or SB's 2x).
The Demons don't give me flashy numbers or anything, they're probably the hardest enemies I can test it against. I'll get some WS shots up to give you the DMG range later though. They're better than what I can put out with DE or SB.
Ouside of Dynamis
I can only do the regular WS outside of Dynamis, but I have noticed a jump in damage on those as well. The goblins/moblins hunted for the ENM stones were allowing me to place DEs inside the 2000-2200 range when fullstacked on THF/NIN onto our tank. It feels weird offhanding a Blau Dolch because it used to be my mainhand dagger. The speed is slightly slower than I've grown used to with Blau + a 183DLY dagger, but it matches my old Gully +1 in delay.
SA+DE on Apis was around 1000 with Sis Kebabis. The only shot I got of that was an Aura Steal though.
Apis - Aura Steal
I'll get up other shots later when I can.
