Why a dagger? Why not something a bit more flamboyant such as a rapier.

Thank you
I am happy that people are still agreeing. The proposed Abyssal Dagger is currently in danger of being underused in PvP and PvM. A small, but very balanced and easy to accept tweak can make it a perfect weapon. Not only that, but a fun and unique one at that.
I am keeping the needs of the Hybridding and PvP community in mind. I am willing to meet common grounds so I accept Ronan's feedback on the damage, but he did not give me his feedback on the accuracy and high drain rate. Which I feel is unable to be reasonably disputed. They asked for a PvP weapon. Without the 50% accuracy and a 30-35% Drain Rate it is not that which they have asked.
Please give this minor buff ^^

Personally agree with what Joy has written and stated throughout this entire thread. The Abyssal Dagger definitely needs some form of improvement to make it more worthwhile over a dragon dagger which will be significantly cheaper, max more and have 4 specs.
The idea of giving it a +50% accuracy boost on special, but retaining the -15% damage reduction seems reasonable, especially if it would max 96 according to Jagex's calculations without the reduction in place. The accuracy boost would make the Abyssal dagger a low alpha, but highly accurate and consistant spec weapon that could be a lot of fun. I personally feel that changing the special attack % from 50% to 35% might also be worthwhile. It would provide you with two immediate specs, with the potential of a third shortly/straight after.
Without the +50% accuracy boost on special and maybe 35% special instead of 50%, the Abyssal dagger would be left feeling incredibly lacking imho.
Gotta add in the fact that this is meant to be a "PVP" orientated weapon, for the PVP community. So I personally believe it should get some needed buffs, with the best interests of the PVP/hybrid community in mind.

Old School did a strawpoll back when Mod Alfred was going to design a weapon live. Abyssal Dagger won and he drew the art being used for the current model. The team has said they can do a different weapon, but the stats would be kept the same. It would be counterproductive and by no means ideal. Especially considering that takes dev time.
Perhaps another time if it's what the community wants? Personally, I love the Abyysal Dagger and want it to pass, but I also want it to be buffed appropriately. This includes an addition of plus 50% accuracy on the Special Attack and a 30-35% Drain Rate. This will make it a true upgrade to the Dragon Dagger and worthy of being used by any and all PK'ers.
That was the goal of making the Abyssal Weapons in the first place.
