Warden Vs Master peltast

[Stillicho]

Might be that not the warden is weak, but MP is too strong.

Let's see what we have with daggers:

Master Peltast items:

Spoiler

Barbutte:                    2 Weight
Tiger Scale:                 3 weight
Light Plated Gauntlets: 1 weight
Lionhide boots:           1 weight

Volcanic Daggers: 60p, 100 speed, 1 weight x2(50 ammo)
Any good polearm: 2.5 weight

11.5 Weight total(Which will be increased to 12.5 when you will pick up 3rd stack of daggers in 4th equipment slot. Same as warden will get 23 weight(with hallogis).

Besides that:

Daggers are faster than bow + arrows.

Spoiler

Due to my tests in native:

• War Bow 85 speed rating
  300 Archery 73 arrows in 113 seconds(~0.646 shoots per second)
  
  
• Volcanic Daggers 100 speed rating
  300 Throwing 25 Volcanic's in 34 seconds(~0.735 throws per second)
  

Daggers are doing more damage at moderate distance.

Spoiler

Same 70% damage bonus from Power Draw/Throw, but +25 more proficiency(Warden-MP Difference), which can be translated into +3.75% increase of damage(60*0.0375=2.25 damage)before other modifiers. Notice that most modifiers stacking multiplicatively, which means that damage difference further will only increase.

Daggers doing bonus damage to shields.

Spoiler

Which allows to break shield and kill the bot in the same manner as with rupturers/twigs, with the difference that you'll not stagger bot in the process.

What left for Archer-Warden is to sit behind barricades and try to snipe as many nord archers as you can, to not fall far behind on the "kill charts".

You just compared Volcanic Daggers, a top tier legendary, to a War Bow, a marketplace bow. Why would I even look bother looking at this? It's like comparing a Ferrari to a Honda Civic...

Wouldn't you compare the Typhoon or w/e the fast one is plus Zephyr arrows vs. Volcanic if your doing fast vs. fast for dps comparison?
