Full Build Details

So here is the numbers:

Gear bonuses: 61% damage, 5% impact (armor, calgrey bone cage, backpack)

Boons: +30% damage, +85% impact, +10% all resistances, (discipline, master of motion, rage, wind infuse)

Passives: +30% damage (alchemical experiment + kirouac's Breakthrough), +20% damage and +10% move speed (conditional, scalp collector)

The big combo: Use probe three times to apply confusion, pain in the axe will apply pain at the same time. Use opportunist stab, then use unerring read to reset probe back to the confusion level. Reapply confusion and pain with probe, opportunist strike again. Mix in backstabs, sweep kicks, and counterstrikes until low enough for scalp collector. Rinse and repeat your trog genocide.

the numbies:

Dagger base: 88.4 damage, 72.2 impact, 7.42 heal

Axe base: 103.87 Damage, 60.8 impact

Skills (assuming pain applied):

probe: 64.9 damage, 9.12 impact

Backstab: 442 damage, 288.8 impact, 44.2 heal

Opportunist strike: 663 damage, 433.2 impact, 66.3 heal, 331.5 with only pain, 753 with kill streak,

You get the idea. Abuse the alert combo interactions for massive burst and spam broken dagger skills utilizing scalp collectors damage boost. For more consistency you can go the classic maelstrom blade + puncture and perfect strike, but swords are for milquetoasts and kill streak puts hair on your chest.
