the point of the parrying dagger?

[Criminal Scum]

i mean seriously, caestus weighs less while the parrying dagger weighs more, and they both parry

fashion.

Edit: Seriously, the caestus looks ugly.

My Black Knight Sword can kill people. Why is there any other weapon out there?

Window time man. Buckler and parry dagger have a bigger parry windows vs the ceastus. You also lose less stamina on a partial due having more poise in the dagger. (Barely any difference but still a little that can be the difference between a roll or not after a partial).

thats a very flawed comparison, unlike the caestus and parrying dagger, weapons have various movesets and damage meaning that every weapon is unique, the caestus is just more efficent compared to the parrying dagger.

parrying dagger needs a buff, it's completely pointless besides fashion.

Someone who is skilled at parrying would do better with the caestus than someone with a parrying dagger

Well, there you have it. People who aren't very good at parrying are better off with the parry dagger.

parrying dagger has worse frames than a parrying shield...

The buckler and the parrying dagger have the exact same frames

[Howyoudoin']

Why do you care tho…. The timing & iframe is different so what's your guestion?. Btw I choose parry dagger.

[IBimsDerThor]

Every scrub is using caestus for their easy&boring oneshot hornet parries. The alone is reason enough to either use a buckler or parrying dagger tbh

No.
Dagger has 12 startup and 10 active frames, parrying shield has 8 startup and 12 active.
