Not sure about dagger nodes, I'm strongly against being able to 'marry' to a weapon in your starting area (with the possible exception of ranger and bow), but I agree the choice of starting nodes is kinda iffy currently.

If the Ranger is shown posing with her bow in the introduction screen, and her dialogue matches it, *and many of her nodes match it* -- why is this any less restricting than the Shadow shown posing with his dagger in the introduction screen, and his dialogue matching it (one good stab, bring a stick to a knife fight, etc), and some of his nodes matching that?

Is it because the bow is a ranged weapon so people are less scared of it?

I've already noted that the dagger can be used as a very effective casting catalyst. I do it all the time.

So if the Ranger can be 'inherently' an archer (seriously, half her starting area is bow/attack speed/projectile damage), why can't the Shadow be 'inherently' a dagger user IF that dagger can be used equally well as a weapon for melee and as a focus for casting?

I don't find your reply sufficiently contradicts my statement -- you're talking about the Ranger, not the Shadow there. The 'if' of other ranged weapons is too weak to work with.

I'm not saying make half the Shadow tree dagger-centric, but at least a few more interesting clusters than merely melee. The dagger, with its global crit, has a lot more to offer than just that.
