Weakspots currently disabled for daggers?

[Rhias]

Hey,
I created a Veela in Skinny with 130 Dex.
I tested it with a Mercy Dagger Head out of Steel with full steel handle, and also a second one with dense crepite handle.
I tested all available grips.
Out of a few 100 attacks I didn't get a single weakspot.
Fully changed hits on the head, and also from the back.
I also removed my armor to see if armor weight might have an effect on WS chance. Nothing changed -> no Weakspots.

Was someone able to get weakspots with daggers since last patch?
Was this removed?

i heared it was removed or was never in the game for 1h spears and daggers at least

Original combat alpha I knew weakspotting was in the game because you could weakspot with GB's (and it was stupid). I havent gotten a weakspot in a long time, so its turned off to my knowledge. I'm hoping they dont re add weakspotting because its just a bad mechanic, and they could add armor penetration or something less RNG based instead.

I'd suggest damage multipliers for backhits. In Darkfall backhits did double damage. Adding something like this for certain weapons/builds would be one of the best ways to make roguey high-dex melee better. Because I fully agree, some kind of consistent bonus in specific conditions is a lot more skill-based and fun than a random-number-generating playing a huge factor in who wins fights.

You'd like to think that, but we all know how that's really going to turn out...
