TBH here is my actual suggestion for the long dagger. Unnerf the damage OR make it pierce because it is a dagger. You stab with daggers even on swings, even though currently the animation has it slash, so I understand. It would be sweet if the dagger could have it's own animation where it stabbed, but that is not possible yet. However, give it a penalty with shield. Yeah, you heard me.
ADD a penalty with a shield but buff it back to where it should be in damage for balance sake. Daggers shouldn't be used with shields effectively for balance, I understand. But the dagger shouldn't have been nerfed as a whole because people used it with a shield.
I find the fact the dagger got nerfed hilarious.
Better nerf that thing that can't manual block, like THAT is the OP weapon.
