ES - since the damage boost .. ? is it worthless? (in General)

Is an Elven Stiletto still a 'generally useless' weapon?
Inquiring minds want to know. Well at least one..
Has anyone tested it out since the boost in base damage?
I have one and I want to know if it is worth it to keep? Guess it may now beat a katana, but with non-forge-able higher upgrade costs, might as well get a VB. Right?
Oh BTW - IMO - a stiletto is a very high-healed woman's shoe - so on that basis alone - maybe I should sell the team called 'team girl squad'.

Well, it really depends on your definition of worthless.

If you are comparing it to any of the big 5 weapons, it's worthless and then some. The VB is pretty much trash, even with its AC piercing abilities due to low base damage.

But compared to other non-rare items, it's a little more fuzzy. It could be fun to use.

Thanks - I knew there was probably another definition somewhere.
That is interesting. never heard of that before. So was the woman's shoe named after the stiletto 3 sided 'daggerish' weapon then? Guess some of them could be quite effective as I saw in a movie the other day. She stuck her heal right into a guys thigh I think. Buried it in deep too. nice kick! But now I am a bit leery when my wife's wears high heels.
