Imho, daggers.

Snakebite > Intimate Gambit (snakebite stuns enemies 100% of the time and works on monsters that IG has no effect on. Ex: Poison Undead, Liches, etc.)

Hundred Kisses = Great Windmill + Dire Gouge put together in one uber-skill

Masterful Kill >>> Clairvoyance (Clairvoyance requires quick reflexes; a quarter second off and you're eating whatever attack you just tried to counter, and has no effect on anything much bigger than a human. MK requires no timing once triggered and not only works on, but frequently staggers/disarms/knocks down giant boss monsters)

Daggers have double jump and dodgeroll for avoiding hits, swords don't have an innate damage avoiding skill, so if you go sword/bow you have no way to avoid damage and have to run/hop away from attacks like a mage or sorc would.

Et cetera et cetera...
