⚖️ Balance Changes
Following the reduction in dagger damage and the Assassin's backstab mod, the goal is to provide greater stability, improving the backstab chance when using better daggers. This way, the goal is for the assassin to stab more frequently, but without unbalanced damage. Additionally, work is underway to give the Bandit and Assassin a critical hit chance bonus and the ability to stab players if they land a backstab.
The +3 and +4 Daggers add an 8% chance to stab. If used by an assassin, their total stab chance increases from 25% to 33% against players and 41% against NPCs. If used by a hunter or bard, their stab chance increases from 15% to 23% against players.
