    If you have never used this weapon, you have to use it at least once. Fastest Weapon + DWGR + CMW = Total Destruction.
    I'm hitting 300s (doesn't seem like a lot with CMW, but I can get 2-3 hits in before someone even realises I'm doing damage).

    Pretty sure the Dagger's 2hr2 is a unique thrust for daggers, with a suprising reach

    Yes, on top of that it does a huge amount of damage compared to its other attacks.

    Meanwhile, the falchion is stunlocking with 100 more damage at longer range.

    Meanwhile, the dagger can't hit anyone with more than two fingers because it has the range of a steak knife.

    I guess it would work on the PS3, with the amount of lag it gets. Unfortunately, PC version can be summed up as "Buffed Washing Pole: All day, erry day".

    Meanwhile, a good player could close that distance easily. It also doesn't have much shorter range than the Falchion.

    Point remains, it's easier to create distance than it is to close it. Greatswords aren't being used much anymore. Long weapons with either versatile move sets or long, sweeping attacks are making their way onto the field.

    Buffed falchion can get in close and stunlock before too much damage is dealt, same with gold tracer. Dagger is not this lucky, and deals mediocre damage once the buff wears out.

    Shorter range on the weapon also means you have to run farther to be in range of your target. This is extra time for the enemy to regain stamina, heal, cast a spell.

    An experienced Great Scythe or Partizan user can maintain distance without rolling around like a fool. Experienced Washing Pole user can kill pretty much anything, as long as their poise remains intact.

    Not saying that a falchion user could beat a good dagger. Just saying that the falchion has a bit of an advantage in the few roles a dagger is useful in.

    A good point, but it's also the same case for the Dagger. I guess we can leave it at that.

    The point is the fact that the Dagger is the fastest weapon in the game, so it can hit, recover, and move away before the enemy has a chance to attack. On top of that, getting Leo'd with the Dagger is extremely hard due to time constraints, and of course the Dagger can use the Leo Ring, whereas the Falchion can't. Falchion's R2 is practically worthless in a real fight, whereas the Dagger's is just a faster version of a Straight Sword R2. The Dagger's 2H strong attack is also unique and has long range. Of course, the Dagger also weighs 2 units less, and has the extra Critical.
    Falchion is outclassed in every way besides poise damage and reach, which a Dagger doesn't have to worry about.

    Ghost Blade is too slow, can't be buffed, and bad R2s.

    That's the point Dibs

    It's utterly useless outside of it's ability to hit ghosts, and even then using a Transient is better and so is the Cursed GSoA

    Now the Blacksmith Hammers, those are some mighty weapons.
