Summary	0003558: Dagger doesn't do enough damage
Description	Try combat with a "atdm:ai_thief02." He has a dagger and def_melee_set "atdm:ai_melee_set_novice." He is so poor in combat, it is almost a joke. It takes 15 hits from him to get the player killed and he attacks very slowly. Being surrounded by two of such AI and they it takes forever for them to kill the player. Sure, they ARE novices, but maybe even a novice should be a tad better? No mapper should ever use novice melee AI with daggers, because they are so harmless. A guy with a dagger should be a serious concern. Now they are like guys with a rubber duck. You can have fun with these jokers in the Trapped! mission.

Springheel 20.11.2013 03:25 administrator ~0006247	Did a test with a novice on Normal difficulty, and it took 8 hits to kill me. The previous 15 hits might have been due to the damage issue that was recently fixed. That said, the dagger is _extremely_ easy to dodge because the attack is so slow and the reach is limited. I'd like to see the dagger at least be faster, though I'm not sure if that can be done on a weapon-by-weapon basis.

Springheel 20.11.2013 20:04 administrator ~0006248	Ok, so daggers have their own settings, and they're supposed to be faster. But I don't think they are: // ============= KNIFE FIGHTING SETS ============== // Same as sword sets, but they can't block, // so they should attack more frequently

Springheel 20.11.2013 21:19 administrator ~0006249	I've sped up the dagger attacks slightly, and combined with AI no longer stopping while swinging, the dagger seems much harder to dodge now.
