I have to agree. I was trying to make the dagger quick hits skill work, then i just decided to switch to havoc orb and spinning axe, combo it with the blink+stasis effect and the passive for 100% dmg on stasis targets and breeze through the game. Havoc orb on crits dealt like 10-11k (and that x2 for 20k)while i was still in main campaign (meaning shitty items) and the axe 5-6k but it spins 2-3 times and you can have 3-4 active at a time(1400 max will/rage). Compared to that the dagger skill struggled with shitty dmg and clear and required me applying ailments, kite so that i dont die etc.

Actually i have to add that most skills feel useless honestly. Does agility even matter in this game? It didnt seem to be worth the investment and most attacks/skills have zero benefit from it. Game is a dump all in ferocity with a few to toughness, get the two broken skills and clear or torture yourself trying to make trash skills work.
