Daggers feel incredibly strong currently, especially shurikens.

Compared to other options, daggers essentially do the most damage when built for critting. This is made more of an issue when we consider the high amount of utility daggers and shuriken can have. The most obvious offenders would be things like poison and knockdown on crit. The existance of throwing daggers also makes daggers overall extremely versatile. You'll rarely run out of ranged attacks in a normal battle. They also bypass parry skills.

I feel like what really tipped the scales is that improvements to their scaling have turned many utility weapons into high damage weapons with great utility on top. A side note to that would be that guile is probably overall stronger than strength as a damage stat because not only is it more damage with crits, you also get enough skill pool size to fit anything you could want.

I don't have a dagger build right now but I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions. I've just noticed that daggers and shuriken are slowly starting to take over the 1v1 arena meta. I know that's not a perfect metric, but I've just noticed those being quite dominant, especially the more optimized ones
