Bludgeon:

I stand by my suggestion to couple the bludgeon's special attack with a 'only if you're skulled'. Because at this moment, people will 3-4 item if they want to use its special attack to maximize their spec and minimize the risk. Encouraging not to skull in PvP -> it should be the other way around: encourage people to skull in PvP.

If the special was made so that it is strong in PvP when skulled and strong in PvM when unskulled, there would be no 3 iteming with this new weapon in PvP.

Dagger:

To have a similar special attack to the dragon dagger seems incredibly unoriginal and does get no support from me.

Something more original would be to delay the second hit (by 4 ticks), making it somewhere in between a dds spec and the bleed effect spec (instead of multiple extra hit splats after the spec is done (=bleed effect), just one extra hit splat, and a big one)

I don't quite understand why you would have the bludgeon special be what it is... MAYBE if it ALSO restored like 50% of damage dealt as prayer. Else, it's just unnecessary risk of getting smited. I mean I guess it's that risk vs reward thing, but I think it's just too risky (people would want near the full boost). Also, the mechanic just doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe it just does more based on your prayer level if anything?

Also, I preferred the old abyssal dagger special, as it was unique, and able to be comboed well with poison/ venom.

Make the bludgeon spec work off prayer level, not missing prayer points, and you've got my support.
