Merits

[Neppy]

I have a 75 SMN so I am able to merit my inabilities. Right now my thf is at 49 and ive kinda put it on pause so I can make some cash and merit some abilities for thf. So far I have merited dagger twice so I have +4 dagger skill, and ive been skilln dagger on my smn so it will be capped for a long time on thf. I plan on maxing out merits on dagger, what I am curious about is this. What are some of your suggestions for merits? Should I concentrate on dagger so much?

There is no correct order to meriting the following abilities, this only comes down to what you personally want first.

Dagger
Triple Attack
Crits

Those are the top three in not particular order. Myself... I went:

Triple Att. > Dagger > Crits because I wanted to hit more first then I worked on upping my damage as I improved my gear. Dagger and Trip.Att are the two meritted abilities that youll notice a huge difference with.

Other things to merit would be:
STR
DEX
Evasion
Emnity
Hide
Sneak Attack

Also Consider Group 2 Merits when you get THF leveled.
Feint
Aura Steal
Assassin's Charge

i have capped dagger merits 8/8 and marksmanship 4/4 let me tell you I don't regret a single one of them
well I did regret marksmanship until the last patch, now i can actually hit stuff regularly

Triple Attack
Hide
Sneak Attack
He's not going to be able to merit these categories as Summoner, as they are Thief specific.

He'll have to get THF to 75 to merit them.

I wouldn't mess with ementy...heck what if you wanted to tank later? Plus cutting it will decrese the hate transfer you get by using TA...I'd rater just leave that stat alone..

I meant adding to it for hate transfer... and also those times when THF tanking occurs... which will when you start cranking out high end WS damage due to separating TA & SA.
