Face hugging? Dagger. If you manage to get someone stuck up against a wall and start your stabbing frenzy, unless they have a dagger themselves its incredibly hard for them to do anything but parry or get handle hits.
Depending on what pve, some monsters are easier in cc with a spear than with a sword. It heavily depends on what youfighting against.
But in MO1 one of the most fitting for most monsters was the spear.

I remember using daggers to solo farm mino's back in mo1. But I did have a really strange build back then... Knockdown resistance, Heavy armor and pilfering lol. I was the rustler.
In PVE you can probably make anything work as long as it deals damage.

Personally, I find anything with reach annoying. Too many handle hits because of awkward hitboxes and erratic mob movement.
I like Swords, both 1h and 2h. After that, axes, then spears - each with the shortest handles available.
Swords are mostly blade and easiest to land, IMO. On top of having all four swing directions do damage.

You can face hug with a spear. The sprea can be inside of the other players body and you still get hits.
No reason to have a shield except for arrows but even then movement is the better fix for that. Shields cost extra stam when you use a weapon with it.I wanted to do daggers, but I might try a shield w/ them. Dunno what the stam would be. Someone suggested shields cuz I think parrying is WACK, and I was like heh, but w/ a dagger hmm. They made 'hand' hits with daggers. If you could move around people and stab them without them center blocking everything, it would be cool. But yea it's good pressure. Also yea the sword you can hug inside, too. I wonder, cuz I'm not a spear user, if a spear can really face hug like a sword. cuz you can straight up encircle someone and hit them with / swing. TING!
But I do agree that Axe was always fun for pve. Now that most mobs other than like bandits and such can run you down, a lot of weps aren't as viable (I used to kite everything and sword them cuz everything moved more or less like a zombie... now the main idea vs a lot of mobs is just parry and hit back, and at that point, having a heavy wep is OK.
I dunno if I'd recommend Daggers for PVE but I need more exp, I need a dagger, too! I need a WS dagger, have 130 dexwtb
It doesnt add armor weight. I most of the time only use a shield on my mage to not have armor weight.
Daggers tend to use more stam then spears in PvP at least. And then shield adds more to it. I feel its like double the stam.
How else would you hit it with a dagger?
