I know why many people made such a big stink about the combat changes: they felt the t being able to attack twice as fast as a sword of the same type was OP, especially given the fact they cost less resources. I also know that they were given half the range of swords to compensate. While yes, daggers are noticeably more maneuverable than swords, they aren't twice as fast. The main attraction of a dagger is that A) it's cheaper than a sword and B) it's better at extremely close range. Now, here's a side by side comparison of a typical renaissance dagger and sword. Keep in mind that daggers from that period are longer than the types the people of Middle-Earth would probably have. So in conclusion I suggest that:



1. Daggers be slowed to 125% sword speed

2. Daggers have their range reduced to 45% percent

Because

1. It's more accurate

2. It removes the fact that a guy with a bronze dagger can do more damage than a guy with a mithril sword in a shorter time provided he gets Clos enough which he can unless the other guy has gone through the immensely tedious process of going back to the Overworld to buy an enchanted book with knockback from the local librarian.
