    again assuming archers gain damage from daggers like you'd gain damage like from ranged weapons. i'm also assuming daggers have the same physical attack as magic swords because if you look at the existing daggers versus magic sword damage and attack speeds, they're extremely similar.

    hypothetical TT100 dagger + 10: 1194 weapon damage average.

    on lvl 100 archer with say, 480 dex, full TT99 + 2 lunar attack rings, socketing 2 garnet gems:

    base damage:

    (100 + 1194 + 97*2 + 75*2)*((1 + (2*480/3)/100)) = 6879.6

    Assuming every heavy at 9x have at least 70% physical reduction self buffed, you average like 516 a hit. Congratulations. nothing can stop you now. every archer need to scramble to get their +10 daggers!

    Now, suppose you had a bow instead, just to see if the formula is close enough, the same formula indicates that you'd average 890 with +10 Heaven Shatterer on a self-buffed heavy. Sounds about right?

    Elena Costel: Noooo... I don't want to have a dirty affair with Lady Legerity...

    I think it'd be fun to be able to use daggers once in a while. You know, just for the lulz. b:surrender

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    It is not something that can be taught. It is something that must be earned.

    This thread's been diverted enough. Back to the pointless arguing.

    Somehow I don't doubt that, Kimbley @_@

    But yes, back to the pointless arguing. Archers should be able to use daggers because of blah blah blah, and I'm right because blah blah blah. Do not question my logic.

    Why can't Archers Use Daggers?

    Because they are to effeminate and hence their wrists are not strong enough to get the blade through armour

    If that were the case, they would be unable to string and draw their bows.

    I think all weapons should be able to be used by any class, even if they don't have skills that would make it an effective weapon for their class. If they have the stats needed to hold the weapon then they should be able to use it. Just like anyone can fire a gun, they might not be accurate or effective with it but they can still pull the trigger.
