This might be an unpopular opinion but i’ve been trying to play on a pvp server normally but after quite some time i came to a opinion about katanas: EDIT: The issue where Katanas deal multiple hits with dash attacks has been fixed in current testlive they deal too much damage with special attack …

[image] [image] Testlive Update Age of Sorcery: Chapter 2 (2022.11.08) - Head Hunting, Pet rebalance and more! Fixed an issue that caused the katana dash attack to hit multiple times in certain situations.

There was a thread started by SirDaveWolf on this very topic a little while ago (maybe a month), alas my forum-fu is feeble and I cannot find it to link it. One thing I recall was some delving in the dev kit (probably by Xevyr) turned up that the katana finisher is multiple hits and so it doesn’t ge…

Thing is that the katana always had this. It’s a hard one to set up since the weapon is clearly a katana and so you roll out when you see that special move gets activated. In PVE, it really shines because AI is dumb but when you get more familiar with the move set, there are glaring weaknesses to …

Here you go: [image] Katana does too much damage Feedback The dash of the katana can do more than 700 damage in “1 hit”. Actually those are multiple hits. You basically start chaining with 3 light attacks and then perform a dash with the offhand key. If you hit your enem…

Thank you Sir! I was a little hesitant to @SirDaveWolf you but it seems to have worked out.

What players want: Katana does too much damage My proposition here is to remove the high damage from the dash, make the dash quicker to perform and do normal damage and also allow it to cripple and apply bleed. What FC is probably gonna do: Nerf it to oblivion like Crom Sword.

They seem to be unable to do proper balance changes. The only thing they seem to know is: “nerf into the ground”:

I would leave the special attack as it is - an attack. But the multiple hits is kind of weird. If you think, ingame you dash through an enemy, as opposed to attacks that hit the enemy in one relative small area, so the multiple hits make sense. But logically (IRL) you just can’t dash through somet…
