I gotta ask....

[stalksdeath]

Why peeps seem to ask for WoP rapiers (finish the question before you comment on this please) and Shortswords only? It seems like they intentionally leave out daggers? Is there something I'm missing here? If one was to decide it didn't HAVE to be a rapier, and they could indeed *sink* to a 17-20 crit range, why would they not include a dagger in their list of wants? It seems like it should almost be even MORE desireable than a shortsword, if anything, considerring that it is a simple weapon and any class can use it without penalty (obviously not really an issue in 99% of cases, just saying....)
If I'm being an idiot and have missed something reaaalllllly obvious I guess I wouldn't be that suprised, but feedback either way is welcome

Just a matter of reach. My first WoP was a dagger which I used religiously for 2 mods then I got a ss and rapier. The reach is a big difference and even more noticable when your chasing mobs.

Two possibilities:

Racial enhancement for shortswords
Daggers are the sissiest weapon evahhhhhhh!!
