No More Daggers!

[Cherie]

Didn't mind the daggers as much as the ugly cricket bats!

Lol, I agree. I realize that wooden swords are a part of weapon history and such but.... what am I, a pirate!?

I'll kind of miss the daggers though. Sure, a dagger looks a bit silly when paired with a shield but, it's really more of a "gladiator" weapon style. Think of that old movie "the gladiator" and it wouldn't look out of place there. As a paladin, sure, you don't want to use a puny, un-knightly dagger though. A dagger is more of a weapon of despiration and not becoming of a knight. So having the daggers earlier down the line in a way showed their evolution in style...

Dunno, I guess it doesn't matter... a bastard sword though? That's the name of one of the replacement blades. It seems a bit much to use one handed.... lol

Well a bastard sword, also known as a hand and a half sword, where made to be used with either 1 or 2 hands. Larger than broadswords, but not as large as true 2 handed swords.

I'm curious. I have a couple of dated daggers of poisoning, I think, and they aren't listed, so unless they just haven't bothered listing the dated items I guess I'm going to have another piece of exclusive glamour gear.

Now, if only I didn't hate the look of a GLA wielding a dagger ...

HUZZAH!

No more wimpy daggers and tiny gladii for our sword-wielding Gladiators and Paladins!

I find it strange that a gladiator can't use a gladius. Is where the term gladiator came from in the first place.

I, for one, am disappointed. Now I can't /shout "Gotcha, bitch!" whenever I pull my tiny-ass dagger out from behind my shield.

Sad we're losing the Spatha/Gladius swords because they actually do look pretty and are fitting of the "Gladiator" class.

what do Macuahuitls have to do with pirates?

Macuahuimeh are definitely Aztec, not pirate, yeah. . .

It's a translation thing. The Japanese version simply calls it, "sword user", so daggers being part of their arsenal was out of place in the inception. Maybe it's a throwback from 1.0?

Dear, SE,

Please make a Harry Potter class so that white mages don't have to use wands ever again.

Thank you.

Yours truly, Elim.
