 ==Strategy==
-Orcish daggers are usually the first type of dagger seen in the dungeon - at d3 versus all monsters, they are the weakest dagger in terms of damage and one of the weakest weapons overall. An orcish dagger is still suitable as a weapon for roles such as [[Healer]]s and [[Wizard]]s that seek to train the dagger skill in the early game. Orcish daggers are always eventually replaced with better weapons, ranging from a stack of standard daggers to any of the artifact weapons.
+Orcish daggers are usually the first type of dagger seen in the dungeon - at d3 versus all monsters, they are the weakest dagger in terms of damage and one of the weakest weapons overall. An orcish dagger is still suitable as a weapon for roles such as [[Healer]]s and [[Wizard]]s that seek to train the dagger skill in the early game. Orcish Rogues are the most likely to get use out of orcish daggers, even if only until they can assemble a stack of better daggers.
 ==History==
 The orcish dagger first appears in [[NetHack 3.0.0]].
