Granadosource's take:
Escrima is perhaps the most underrated stance for a fighter. It's actually very lethal (especially against Soft Armored targets) with its speed . The stance bonus isn't something shabby, giving 15% Evasion and 15% attack speed further making the stance able to compete with the popular ones. The main strenght of daggers is their speed and the ability to inflict negative status ailments such as stun, poison etc... so it is wise to dwell on that.
PvE-wise and PvP-wise Escrima is average but can be very dangerous when facing soft armored enemies. With escrima you get to attack thrice dealing almost the same number (or probably even more) compared to swords or sabres. Escrima isn't good with controlling mobs but is very good in 1 vs 1 battle thanks to the 15% Bonus Evasion. All skills are also meant for 1 vs 1. Rajar En Recta is a spammable skill that has a -30 DEF bonus which is good against hard armored targets. Baile Soleares is a high damaging skill but the cast time makes it less useful. Ligera Ventaja is an AoE but can be used more of a charging skill to jump right up to an enemy or escape mobs. With 60% chance to stun, it is worth the SP consumption and the effort to aim with it. Ilimitada Sierram, the last skill, has Baile Soleares damage output and negates defense by 30 which makes it a better choice over the 3rd skill. Dagger Venenosa is perhaps this stance's bread and butter skill. 30% chance to poison at level 10 paired with 10% chance to stun dagger is very lethal to any target.
