First:
Miaodao has: 115 weapon lenght, 2.7 weight, 96 speed, 42 cut damage.
Highland claymore has : 117 weapon lenght, 3 weight, 92 speed, 43 cut damage (22 pierce on stab)
These weapons are close in weight and lenght and cut damage, yet the miaodao is alot faster. Highland claymore costs 4.5k gold more
Second:
Miaodao has: 115 weapon lenght, 2.7 weight, 96 speed, 42 cut damage.
Two handed sword has: 110 weapon lenght, 2.2 weight, 96 speed, 38 cut damage (22 pierce on stab)
Now these two weapons have the same speed, despite twohanded sword being shorter and lighter. The miaodao does alot more damage and costs 400gold more.
All the greatsword weapons are in the 120-124 weapon lenght range, and their speed is 90-93, weight is 2.5-3.5.
The shorter longswords and bastard +katana swords are in the 95-106 range, speed is 99-101, weight is 1.5-2.0.
I think either the miaodao is too fast for its lenght and damage, or the twohanded sword is too slow and has too low damage for its range and weight.
The highland claymore is slow and short, but gets that sweet cut damage. But speedwise its 4 speed slower than miaodao despite only having 0.3 more weight and 2 more range and 1 more cut.
So what is my problem? My problem is illustrated in my two examples of "middle swords" The relation between stats are out of balance, making the twohanded sword one of the worst weapons, and miaodao one of the best.
So buff twohanded swords damage and/or speed, its a fucking shitty weapon atm and hardly anyone uses it.
Or "balance" the miaodao in line with the other weapons.
Highland claymore could remain where it is.
I neither own nor use any of these weapons for the record, but i would like a reason to use the twohanded sword.
