Petition to be put back on dagger

[Arcon]

It is not RDM exclusive. Other jobs can't mainhand different weapons and use relics in the off hand for attribute bonuses, like they would with other weapons. You make it RDM exclusive only because for RDM it applies to two relics, which is an arbitrary restriction.

Get Mandau and main hand it, evisceration is pretty badass >_>

While we will not be making daggers specifically for red mage, in the future when we increase the amount of weapons, we will be adding a variety of types that can be equipped by red mages. Though red mage is proficient in close range combat, they will not be receiving the same kind of daggers that can be wielded by thieves and dancers, who are the masters of this weapon.

Kind of like I was saying.

Holy sh!t they actually answered a RDM question. Thought it was kinda a low priority one.

Camate RDM is currently in no way "proficient in close range combat", too little gear / JA / JT selection. Start talking about native DW and u might get close.

How are DNC's anymore better equipped than RDM at Dagger proficiency? Is it the 6 skill? If that is the case why is BRD on the daggers? I mean RDM has 10 more Skill than a BRD!.

If Skill is the merit for masters? Why is RDM enfeebling so underwhelming in comparison to WHM or BLM, or SCH. Why is RDM enhancing underwhelming compared to /RDM enhancing?

If Skill is the precursor to what quantifies master and equipment and ability why is DRK on EX Sword WS and RDM not? I mean RDM has a higher skill.

Would you mind quantifying your statement some please? I am looking at a job that is bottom of the barrel, a job that is as useful in a subjob capacity as a main job capacity, and from what I read is that skill determines the functionality of jobs...why is RDM not being addressed in the same capacity?

Coming back to this post, as it has been more than 6 months... I have to ask, where are our new daggers?

Since this post, no, correction, since the level 90 cap was broken to allow us to level to level 95, we have gotten only 3 new daggers.




The second is level 100, third 101.



Lets look at daggers other jobs got since Adoulin was released...









I do not know each ones level.



Now, I would never argue we should have every dagger. But the best we have is a dagger that is level 101, with 44DMG, the best for THF & DNC is at 108DMG. While I would never argue we should have all daggers, or the best daggers, we should have better than a dagger with literally half the DMG of a THF or DNC dagger. We have waited a while, but the results are lack luster to me so far as this goes, please, if you are going to give us daggers, make them daggers which are worth using. Aluh was a great weapon, it was one of the best daggers and allowed a RDM to actually be fairly strong with daggers unlike our normal, but now that its gone, what is their left for us in this field?

Pretty sure he just said, "Keep Working on getting your Ephemeron"

We’d like to increase the amount of equipment choices such as marksmanship weapons for thief, daggers for red mage, which current gear has not covered well, and new equipment such as grips with delay +.

I hope that includes more melee gear and also swords.
