I was part of the server migration 2-3 years back so I didn’t think I’d have any old stuff. I guess I lucked out and found an ancient one in a raid or whatever
And I am glad that all of the other good men and women in our community such as yourself, who are not me, stepped forward to lend your support to this thread. It means a LOT, thankyou @JohnnyWylder!
It causes you to look at the nerfed sword in your hands, slowly shake your head and mutter, “By Crom…”
It does nothing. The effects in the description are just text written there by the devs. They can say anything they want them to say. A weapon that does cripple could say bleed in the effects if that is what they wrote.
This has been my experience with SoC as well. I feel that through the most recent iterations of the game, stately all updates post AoW Ch 2’s Hyperarmor nerf, I have had a lot of trouble finding it viable to use. After this update, if stats remain as were previously indicated, it’s going to be nearly generic in terms of its stats. My personal take is that there is no appeal to the weapon in that form. One shot attacks will be tougher to nail after the update as well given the new Stamina changes. Using a Weapon Oil is laughable at this durability as well. Where’s the good part of the sword- is there one?
At this point bringing the blade out to PvP combat feels to me like you’d be better off just delivering your kit to your opponent.
All this said, you definitely have my support too, @Croms_Faithful.
I would like for them to just leave the sword of Crom alone or at leas restore it to what it was at the cost of limiting all thralls using two handed weapons to walking speed the sacrifice of agility for strength. This is however coming from a single player point of view and PVP players may have a different stance on the matter but this is just my 2 cents at the subject.
I wouldn’t mind this suggestion either. It would also by extension give thralls a rather imposing look as they slowly marched towards their targets to usher in the pain. I appreciate a look at this from a PvE perspective as well- I find it upsetting when one side or the other is left without consideration because either way it effects me on a PvE-C server.
Nobody would equip 2h weapons on thralls. Good for RP, but nothing else. You already run circles around them. Imagine them only moving at walking speed as soon as they draw their 2h weapon.
We are gonna run rings around thralls no mater what but it’s that chance of getting one hit when you let your guard down or not paying attention that is gonna sting. they could also remove shield protection so if the sword connects your shield will not help.
I was under the impression we were talking about this single weapon doing this. I may have misread haha. Not necessarily a walk either, but a slightly slower pace I suppose.
Isso aqui que é uma espada incrível ainda espero ver uma espada assim “Estilo samurai X” e dentro do jogo pesada sendo arrastada com apenas uma mão e que use as duas mãos quando aplicar os golpes

true, but it doesn’t need to be that easy.
