Fix Katanas (Special attacks)

Can’t. Console player here.

Let me ask you this. What makes it a choice if I have it vs a short sword? The short sword is just as fast and does more damage and armor pen all around. Plus gives me a free hand to equip a shield or offhand throwing weapon. The katana had a unique feature that depended on a high skill level to use effectively and they took the benefits of it away and kept the negatives (removes the character from the attack zone). So please…all ears on why I should equip a katana over the short sword or did I doom agility builds fully by reminding everyone the damage potential of the short sword?

So you are not using the rolling thrust perk? It is really good with a bow.

That hammer has been hitting on the spear more times than I can count over the years so been there too. Spear has never dealt 90% of someones dmg tho :rofl:

Dmg wise it was not well balanced compared to other weapons. That’s probably why they changed the dash so it cant hit several times on 1 player wich is kinda logical. It’s still not useless.

66

Just like the drawbridge HP, right? Took them only 4 years to realize :slight_smile:

67

Same reason as me, i use spear against all weapons. It’s not making me believe I can play the same way against all weapons tho. But I also use 1h axe time to time. To compensate.

69

Nerfing means buffing other things.

You say im not on my original account? :grimacing:

I mean, I remember when spear was stronger back in the days +3 years ago, I didnt ask for the spear to get nerfed back then? And it didnt deal more dmg than other weapons. It’s just that the animation of the spear is better, then most weapons.

71

A year ago we didn’t have specific scaling and nothing outside spears and daggers existed.

Then 3.0 came and Dogs 2x2 arena players found out about katana and other weapons in game.

72

Wierd no one complained about the other weapons discovered then… :rofl: maybe because they dont deal as much dmg as katana?:laughing:

74

Try 2h axes, 2h swords and other high dmg weapons but those are not spear. :sob:

76

Yes, 2h sword is good I would like too see hyper armor buffed on it tho. OMG I WANT A BUFF.

2h axe strong, bad animation tho.

:rofl: We want it balanced. That’s it. Now it’s gonna be more balanced.

I’m personally not into buffs or nerfs but of just stop reacting to complaints of the day and take a serious look at each weapon and keep where it shines and where it lacks the same.

The buff/nerf reaction is just painful to watch and creates resentment all around as people’s favorite weapons are pushed out of the game for a time only to be put back in when the reaction buff comes.

But the critical aspect is that all weapons need a designed weakness…not just ubercool damage.

79

Nerfing is a lazy way to fix thing. The guy that is killing you too fast will continue doing so, plus you will not able to kill him back, and will start asking for an armor nerf.

80

Oh these are killers! Combined with rolling thrust they will munch through your HP like crazy!

82

Is he yes? Like the only time he killed me because of a lucky oneshot. But sure. :joy:

83

That’s a typical for every Funcom “rework” aka basically nerf.
But to be honest, 2h axe had shit animations since its introduction.

I just want to see at least some diversity and weapons shine outside of the holy trio of spears, 1h swords and daggers.

Eh, at this point it is what it is. Doubt there will be any changes or tweaks and I’m getting agitated over nothing. I’ll just farm a bit of gear for future and wait for update.

85

I missunderstood. My bad. But whats wrong with new accounts?

You know, the majority doesnt even read the forums.

88

I am not the one who is crying here. :slight_smile:

I am against oneshot mechanics in full loot PvP survival games. Simple as that.
