Why is Sinister Strike more effective with a sword/mace, instead of a dagger, when the DPS isalmost the same?
This is because your Sinister Strike damage is not based on the DPS of the weapon, but ratherits damage range. This is the case for all special attacks. Since swords and maces of the sameDPS of a dagger generally have a much slower speed, their damage range is quite higher. This isalso why say, the Barman Shanker, is a better main-hand dagger than daggers which have aDPS 4-5 points higher than it.
