I do hate to grizzel, but I must agree on two of these.
Agree! Its light attack especially is lousy now. It has a big, easily interrupted gap in the sequence. It feels more like the heavy attack should be the light attack and vica versa. The Sword it overall less competitive now. I say just close the gap and quicken its ligjt attacks. Its heavys are fine.
And agree with this one too. And this is coming from someone who fought to have them included many a time. The light is ‘…ok…’, but I dislike the whole spin to win attack. Its is very slow and hard to cancel. It is also near impossible to transition smoothly between its heavy and light attacks. I feel the heavy should be replaced with a strong charge up attack along the lines of the Katana.
Finally, Maces need a complete rework.
