OK... here's the deal:

 

TH has:

- passive focus/DW lvl 6/haste -> which makes it a natural good farmer, if you have bd in party you get hex so without hex: TH=AW, with hex: TH > AW

- Dash. do not underestimate this one little skill, it will save your ass in situations where you need to escape from a group hunting you and if you do not have hide or hide is in cooldown, dash will be your best friend. Also, Dash helps you immensely in chasing and hunting down a running target! +1 frag for you. AW and PW do not have dash, yeah they have blinding blow but they need to hit a target first to get 40 speed, while you can use dash when it is ready and it gives you 66 speed.

- Mirage - with 1 min buff in mass pvp/siege and almost instant cooldown, this is the skill which will keep you alive longer than any other dagger class, and will allow you to dive into masses. It can be used offensively and defensively. Yeah, AW and PW can use their Ghost Walking/Wind Riding and wait another 15 min... Also, in a 1 on 1 this skill can be quite annoying to an experienced player.

In summary TH is a good killer versus other classes, but if its an encounter TH vs AW or PW your chances are low (never underestimate a good timed blink + backstab..... :>) while TH and PW versus other classes have their problems if the target such as an archer on Counter dash starts running...  

 

AW/PW

- Mortal Strike + Focus Death.. the signature buffs of AW/PW, 90% extra damage from back.. but if you dont have bluff highly overenchanted you will most likely make frontstabs where FD will actually give you -dmg....

- AW has counter attack... 1 min cooldown, 10 second buff.. you think an experienced player wont expect it, see the animation or hear it and use hide/mirage/switch/UE/EA till CA has worn off?? Versus another dagger, yes this can be the skill which can make you the winner, versus classes like Glad/Tyrant will also be helpfull.. somewhat.. they have tons of HP/CP...

- AW has passive CD lvl 7 while PW has passive Crit rate making AW a bit harder stabber than TH with passive CD lvl 6

- AW has hex.. hex + critical wound (TH has it too so..) is deadly, but in mass pvp if you have a bd hexing why be an AW?...

- Blinding blow is inferior to TH'S dash in chasing or escaping

 

I like AW for its hard Focus Death + Backstab 1 shotting robe users and some light users, but TH is far more versatile and can do just about the same much better in different situations.

    • Thank you for your feedback, SkyLord — even the negative kind.   Let me give you some context on who we actually are, since you asked. L2-Scripts has been around for nearly 20 years. Over that time, we've worked with a large number of developers — I've personally seen probably half of every serious (and not-so-serious) developer in this scene. The most significant figure in our studio's history was Bonux. Together with a small team of assistants, he was essentially the backbone of our old codebase, and we were the ones who brought virtually every chronicle to the community — Essence, Classic, Main — all of it came through us.   Back then, we worked at scale. That era is over. Today, L2-Scripts is no longer a studio in the traditional sense. It's more of a developer collective. I work alongside the best developers I've encountered in 20 years. Bonux is still with us on Classic. A new developer named Den has joined — in just 3 years he became one of the top Essence developers in the world. Every one of us works independently, but we're united by long-standing friendships and shared projects.   We no longer chase every chronicle or every client. For the past several years, we've been focused exclusively on specific long-term projects where we're paid a proper salary — and when you focus like that, with 20 years of experience behind you, the quality of what you produce is on a completely different level. Our code is currently running on nearly all top Essence and Classic servers. We're now bringing Main (Last Protocol) up to that same standard.   You mentioned Nexvil. Yes, he worked with us. That was a difficult period — the lead developer at the time was not up to the standard we hold ourselves to. It was a short period, and it's long behind us.   As for the prices — I'd ask you not to judge a product by whether you personally can afford it. That's not a fair measure of value. The people running top-tier servers understand what they're paying for. If our pricing doesn't fit your budget, that's completely fine — but downvoting a service simply because it feels expensive to you doesn't reflect well, and it certainly doesn't make the product worse.   A special thank you to eMommy and Zenith for the honest and fair words — it genuinely means a lot. It's good to know there are people in this community who judge things as they are.
    • Just because someone does professional sales doesn’t mean everything is overpriced. If the products he provides are stable and good quality, then I see nothing wrong with it, and those prices aren’t even bad. Remember, we’re living in 2026, not 10 years in the past. Your mindset is probably stuck on buying the cheapest products because maybe you can’t afford better ones. And of course, there’s always someone who likes blaming others. I think you should mind your own business instead of blaming someone for how they run theirs. If you really think his prices are too expensive, then do better than him.
    • I have to be fair here and state that almost all 'good' servers on Essence/Classic are using bonux/l2scripts files and 10k for a decent essence build imo is not that bad of a price as long as nexvil is not touching these files
