The stats of the new abyssal weapons are good, but the specs are so bad that i fear these weapons will be just training alternatives instead of good combat efficient weapons

Abbysal dagger:


Terrible. No originality when there is so manny things a special attack can do. Like what were u guys thinking? a dds like spec that does less damage than dds itself, and uses 50% power? This is horrible!

New spec:
I really liked the bleeding spec, it really fits aswell as daggers are know for deadly thrusts which would make a target bleed to death.

Another suggestion would be to increase the tick rate of the dagger to the same as a blowpipe for a short period of time. Spec would cost 55% and you would get a small accuracy buff for these swift attacks. This would also fit the dagger role as a fast weapon.


Abyssal Bludgeon:


Horrible spec aswell, like i dont see any1 use that piece of crap spec for anything it is really terrible jesus.

New spec:
This spec will buff the attacker next 2 hits. Attacker smashes opponent with a 50% accuracy and 25% damage buff for the first hit, and 100% accuracy for the second hit. power usage: 50%

I'm on board. I don't really mind/worry too much about them devaluing older items. It happens eventually. I want the game to progress. Sara sword shouldn't remain potentially the best str training weapon in game forever. Just don't go too far too fast boys

If you look back a page, you'll see that why the Dagger has less damage than the DDS, it has higher accuracy and will hit 30-60s more often than a DDS by a notable amount.

And I see the Bludgeon being an interesting, even if weaker, alternative to other weapons like the AGS.

While I agree, I worry what will become of the Sara Sword. Hopefully its upgraded version (the Blessed Sara Sword) will see a buff to make it still useful for some things at least.

Ronan,

Can you confirm the Abyssal Dagger (spec) Max Hit? I believe -15% is a step back and will not make it a popular choice unlike the Dragon Dagger. There is no increased accuracy. This isn't the way to go...

People should much rather get 4x Dragon Daggers for the 25% Accuracy and 15% Damage unless the Abyssal Dagger has a much higher Strength bonus.

I highly propose the Dagger is given a 10% Damage BOOST. Not a nerf. This is a step BACKWARDS. You asked for weapons to revive PvP.

I really think you have the right idea, but for 50% just for a nerf damage... This is a downgraded DDS not an upgraded one. Please please please reconsider!!!!

Yah, I was one of those people who made that mistake at first. It does have a lower max hit than the DDS, but the "both hit or both miss" feature, which was easy to overlook, gives it a higher accuracy than the DDS.
