Then you haven't seen Bumbo_Tones etc, prof daggersticks
Oh yes, bumbo_tones, so scary, always topping scoreboards with 15-0 K/d's, impossible to beat in duels and just invincible on the battle field. Oh wait, every time i see him play he's above average. He used to do really well before rondel got nerfed the first time.
Niche but fun build, not amazingly effective but it does work. It's already been nerfed before, dont kill it off.
super short weapon with high agi that can outrun out play anyone with footwork that always use best attack that is just superfast with often shield that is almost impossible to destroy
In my opinion short weapons are not always worse than long, length of the weapon depends on the role that weapon will play and often short weapon are faster that lon one.
So we have superfast character with great defense and really strong atack, class that cost you nothing to upkeep and is super annoying to fight against.
I agree with Gravoth that you should not kill that class but make them harder to play or whatever.
takeaway pierce swings from daggers and force them to use attack directions instead of one stab direction.
I rather see daggers as optional attack like nuge than main weapon but that is just all my opinion.
Many classes do sound strong without noting their weaknesses, but going into detail on strengths. You did mention super short weapon though, which is one big downside, a simple jump can get you out of their range. And with that opportunity you can get a spam hit, and that hit is probably going to kill. You could also use the kick, because against a weapon the size of my dick you have to be in their face, and its sooooooooo easy to punish dagger users with a simple kick, and ofcourse follow up swing will kill. About the shield, stop basing their shield, backpeddal and kick, fuck the shield if you can hit their face.
They are already plenty hard enough to play well, you can do okayish most rounds, but just simple mistakes are punished with death.
I repeat, its already been nerfed, dont kill it off. Bumbo is the only one i actually see play it well, and even then its not like its an amazing class that needs to be nerfed. Its an annoying niche class, that does appeal to some.
Unless its blatantly overpowered, dont nerf. If its unplayably weak, buff. Dont start nerfing shit just because some scrubs cant adapt to different playstyles.
