His point was that knife fights very often end with both participents heavily wounded.

The thing about knife fights is the loser dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital.

well yeah, if you're both drunk

All my characters have long dagger to troll with. It usually involves wearing nothing but lamellar gloves and a long dagger and relying on 6/7/8 athletics to get me in and out of Danish sword striking range  :twisted: although its a lot harder now that athletics doesn't work so well as it used to

I try to chamber as often as I can, I also tried a dagger char way back....Daggers don't really chamber fight well because even if you chamber, you still have to reach your oppponent.
Slow and steady wins the race...Unless there is a fast person in it.

As I have noticed....

I have graduated to a spiked mace and shield now. I was using the knife for chamber blocking practice mostly. I only use the shield after one of my chamber blocks gets blocked and I am doing alright so far. I really recomend that people try building an alternate like this, it is a very different feel then all that spamming/feinting that the rest of the game is composed of. I am really liking my pathetically weak AGI character, despite the fact that I recieve WAY more deaths than kills and many strikes deflect.

I always carry a long dagger for trolling people or cuttin up peasants and archers and other weak trash i might encounter

But yeah its a gamble against good players  :lol:
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

I ran with a dagger for a while, and before me Kerin Grahm was. And they were way more effective at it, too. I wish I was that good at chambering initial and HELD attacks. The reaction time x.x

Only person I've seen go 3/5-1 with a dagger consistently...

HHmmm nope i dont remember anyone doing this............nothing about assassinations and a whole generation dedicated to only being an assassin.  Nope never woulda crossed my mind, no i dont think it was me who did this way prior to the big patch..........possibly dressed like a assassin in a courtly outfit, a desert turban, a long dagger, and hiding in corners.  Who would do such a thing as that, wonder if they would also yell ASSASSINATED after killing someone too?  Nah never crossed my mind to have someone do this, sounds silly.............. 

Btw agi builds are for children. u will never kill anything

Most successful long dagger build I've seen was 27-15, 9 PS  3 WM 5 ath.
"ooh look at the dagger user -- MYYY FAAACEEEEEEEE"
But it is still pretty bad since daggers do so little damage. So stupid.
