[K Peculier]

Its correct that ranged daggers have the upper hand at the current moment, though I feel as though reducing their scaling puts them in the same viability range as before where their SWA starts to feel pretty miserable, I'd honestly rather reduce their critical damage to be on par with guns to begin with, as they both fill similar niches, also because introducing specific tags that nerf a weapon other than 'tool' is a very poor way to go about balancing weapons in the future.

On another note, you can also reduce the effects of the elemental shurikens now that they're more effective:

-Paragi's infliction check is changed from Knocked Down to Clumsy
-Tamaki Shuriken's poison LV reduced to lv15 instead of lv20

-Paragi/Tamaki/Touyaa/Ninshi Shuriken's critical damage reduced to 110% (from 130%)

Leave Regular shuriken at 130% since there's nothing special about it.

I agree that if they want to keep their SWA still that their effects for the more popular shurikens could definitely be toned down.

Shurikens also get the added benefit of using the Ninjutsu talent tree which other weapons don't really have as many cool effects for in their own respective talents.
