The Diggler

The Diggler is a unique dirk in Diablo 2 Resurrected that arrives with solid bonuses but suffers from poor timing. Named after Mark Wahlberg's character in "Boogie Nights," this dagger provides respectable stats that unfortunately become available too late to matter.

Stat Overview

The Diggler offers +50% Enhanced Damage, Ignore Target's Defense, 30% Increased Attack Speed, and dual elemental resistances of +25% to Fire and Cold. It also grants +10 to Dexterity. On paper, these are useful leveling stats for any melee character or Poison Dagger Necromancer.

The Timing Problem

Requiring level 11 to equip, The Diggler arrives when its base damage of 4-13 is already underwhelming for progressing through Act 2 and beyond. By the time you can use it, you'll quickly outgrow it. The weapon serves best as a brief stepping stone for Daggermancers before transitioning to The Jade Tan Do or other options.
