I wouldn't say the Dex/hitroll changes boosted dagger as much as nerfed low/avg dex warriors who would rely on Mace/Axe/Polearm. I had an awesome idea for a dwarf axe/mace but would probably never play them because they would just get slapped down by dagger specs and other high dex warriors/assassins. I think it's kind of silly that Dex is now much more important then strength as a warrior.

That which does not kill us,
makes us stronger.
