Both are PvE focused builds that rely on high white damage and consistant yellow damage for DPS. They don't have a ton of burst damage, but they are successful at delivering a ton of damage over a longer boss fight. Combat swords/fists/maces are very similar builds generally only differing in their weapon specialization. Also, maces have a built in +10 wep skill (so you won't see a mace rogue with wep exp). Primary attack is sinister strike.
Combat daggers is a similar build with the same focus (high sustained damage). The primary attack is backstab. The tallent builds have some key similarities and differences (see the samples below).
Combat Daggers 15/41/5
Combat Swords 16/45/0 Note: there are some filler tallents in the combat tree in both builds... You don't have to take imp kick, sprint, etc... don't have to choose vitality... the key things are stuff like wep spec, DW spec, precision, imp SS (esp for non dagger builds), CP, SA, BF and AR... as well as opp for daggers and agression for all SS builds... There are many close variations of combat builds based on player prefrence...
