AnonymousSo you can't open the door when Rydell is dead. What is this guy? A living f*cking remote key to open doors?

Are there actually more parry frames on this than the regular dagger? Any data? I can't tell personally.

I feel like this thing secretly parrys better than the buckler but idk.
I do feel like this thing nets easy parries, at least in PvE. I've been using it for farming bladestones, and it's going so much smoother than when I used the buckler.
It also works well for PvP, but I think for an entirely different reason—from a distance, it's easy to mistake for a catalyst, so people seem to get much cockier than when using a shield. I wonder if that could be why catalysts were changed from wands to staves in DaS, lol.
