you read my mind now Rag
The result was, that spear users still used it even today after several tries to make it bad. It’s still one of the lowest dmg weapons out there. Also with lack of hyperarmor. But still one of the best weapons, even with lower dmg than most of the others.
So? Whats wrong with spear now? Still less dmg than katana.
after 100 hits your oppoents explodes in bleed and gore lol
You dont know me, I make noise. You maybe seen my name before. Also you may see that guys name in future aswell.
I think thats a problem to think that im too good to be killed by a single shot, it must be fault of the game mechanics and lucky of the other guy. Weapons should kill fast, hit first or dont be hit. If you cant handle it there are other titles to play, dont ask to mold the game to your needs
Believe me or not, my favourite weapon is actually 1h long sword.
Spear is right click. Daggers are left click. Boring weapons.
Please, at least try not to be disingenuous… You’re campaigning here heavily about how the katana 1hits and so on and so forth, even thou we proved it doesn’t, but nvm it’s getting nerfed because of the cries so it is what it is…
However… don’t sit there and downplay things on your side… you’re using the spear because it outranges anything aside from a bow to the point that other melee weapons can’t even get close enough to be relevant… period… Damage doesn’t matter when your weapon can deal it while the other one can’t. The katana was the only potential counter to that if the user got lucky…
So no… it’s NOT balance that you’re after from what I’ve seen so far.
for me then all are boring because with nerfed weapons all you have to do is click more and more. Im still into conan because the buildings (that is becoming inviable too). More nerfs to come, maybe i move to other game like i did with the 5 head shot to kill on a fps that was one of my favorite games become. Moved to a wwii game and there are the nerf claimers asking that a kark98 german shot in the middle of the chest should not 1hit because ther is no skill in aim and click
agreed, now i need to put a lot of strength to one hit a miserable spider, as the ttk increase less skilled the player must be. Those argue of “it need should skill based” is bullsh… skilled is fast and deadly.
Today guys/gals after playing playstaion 1 bushido blade
We didnt? They havent changed the animation at all.
Not really, I said it can do like 90% of someones hp in 1 dash. And that’s not balanced
Where did I say it’s not balanced? I said they nerfed it over and over again, but still it become one of the best weapons if you have skill for it
Super excited to see more things nerfed into uselessness because of PvP.
So can anyone give me what the new damage output of the special slice is now? It’s going to determine if I get the daggers of Daggon out or not.
Wait… @SirDaveWolf . The pic of the 300 ish damage. Was that including the 3 light attacks on top of the slash attack? What type of katana are you using?
Yea, he said above that it was a normal star metal katana (I’m guessing full agi build for it based on the damage) and yes it contained the 3 attacks before.
Here’s the equivalent essentially, assuming they didn’t change anything else with the katana and just “fixed” it
This is how it is now, in this case I landed 5 hits with a single charged dash - (can be 2-7 depending on the hitbox of the target and the angle you get it at etc):
This is how it would be after the “fix”:
Using this with a full Agi / 0 str build and 5% agi dmg per piece Aquilonian armor

@Community : Consider using some of the other side of the feedback from this thread as well and not just the “nerf katana” crowd. Maybe there’s some form of balance to be had. At this point even adjusting the damage curve on the single hit or the multiplier in the comborules table so the 3x attack + dash chain actually can do reasonable damage even if it’s in a single hit (I believe the PvP crowd would go for that since they can counter it with the grit perk too then if it’s just 1 hit, even if it does 800 damage pre-armor)
Although it says in the patch-notes that the testlive modifications aren’t final, the current nerf on the katana there is just too much imo.
So unless you charge the attack, it’s just better to spam light attacks in a no brainer button mashing. sigh…it is what it is. Grabbing some scales of dagon to get the daggers ready.
See? this is what I meant… the 3x combo dash without charging it hits less than a light attack… does that seem worthwhile for the effort of doing a special L-L-L-Block-hold+L combo result?
Yup! was typing just that
Edit: Might as well put that Katana in that Shallow Grave next to the Croc
is there a way to see how much damage you done in official servers?
