[Perdition]

Yes, the great game design in "be a specific race if you want to use this strategy", splendid principals. Your logic is like saying that silences didn't need to be switched to infliction chances instead of being guaranteed because they're meant to counter magic. Just because something is meant to 'counter' another thing doesn't mean it needs to be 100% oppressive to that thing. If someone is eclipsing your hit with any other weapon, you have decent autohits to fall back on. If they do that as a dagger use you're actually just fucked. There's a reason no one uses daggers. As far as anchor edge goes, there's a reason it's more or less the only axe used outside of niche cases. The same goes for vorpal fangs outside of Hayabusa for fun pve memes. Vorpal Fang is your best bit for a consistent dagger build and even that just isn't enough.

Opposing evade builds have many ways of buffing their evade in order to pick up momentum against basic attack focused builds, this kind of buff just gives dagger users more of a fighting chance to actually play the game against them, like every other weapon has that's used for basic attacking. If you can't understand any of that then you're frankly not worth addressing any further.
