Friend with 8 ps and mw danish gs killed me with 4 hits but agiwhore (prob) mw katana kills with 2 ....42/3
(also, the 20 hidden damage bonus come when you hit head so no wonder if you died so fast)That was irony.
katana don't need a nerf, it need counter part: we need other agi whore wep (aka short 'n fast sword)what about Wakizashi?
That was irony.
Katana is one fucked up weapon. I was level 30 ,10 IF, 62 body armor /54 head armor and i lost 50%-70% by one hit and died to the second hit , and because i had gmaul i had no chance to do anytihing (spam spam)
For the love of fuck, a dude with a 24/18 build and a short flacion will fuck up your day.
How many fucking times does it have to be said.
Build + players skills = kills
Gear + bullshit = bullshit
There are no OP weapons at the moment IMO, there is nothing so dominant it can't be counted. Just because some dude with a Katana kills you doesn't mean the weapon is OP. In all likely hood it means you are poopy and should l2p you smelly nub. Go practice chambering couched lances with punchs you blue titted worbler.
Well, be glad you didn't get hit by a Miadao/Danish/Nodachi/Claymore/War Cleaver then. That would've hurt you even more or killed you.that doesn't matter if he would die in one hit by them weapons you mentioned, the katana killed him in 2 hits and he couldn't swing back so its just like he got killed in 1hit in ALL that body armor, yes he had a great maul but with any weapon maybe not if he was using the katana himself but he would still be out swinged and got 2hit so all them weapons you mentioned wouldn't change a thing, it would still be like he got 1hit by the katana because it would of happened that fast. 8-)
If the range of the Katana is really a detriment

I can retaliate vs. Khorin just fine with my 89 speed poleaxe, if you get repeatedly spammed you just suck.
Voted no because the katana is in no way OP, a slight reduction in price might even be warranted.
tl;dr = With the correct build boasting 187 wpf, and a +3 katana
You forget Dezi that the 9str build's189 wpf is 50% faster than my 174 wpf.
And the katana is slightly curved which makes the length of the weapon slightly deceptive even though it's accurate. If swinging at extreme range the katana contacts a microsecond earlier than what you'd think. It assumes the sword is straight, due to engine limitations. It's the same with all curved weapons.
Friend with 8 ps and mw danish gs killed me with 4 hits but agiwhore (prob) mw katana kills with 2 ....Speed bonus, sweet spot 'bonus' (or lack of a penalty), hold bonus, head shot bonus, and a lucky armor roll likely all working together. A masterwork katana does less damage than a masterwork danish (it's listed in the stats), so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
When fighting this, it's hard to time your manual blocks in accordance with the weapon speed.No, it's not. The difference between 130 wpf and 180 wpf is minimal at best. A 3 PS player will likely be effectively slower versus any opponent with decent armor, since he will glance if he hits too early in the swing animation. With higher powerstrike, you can get away with hitting almost immediately after the swing animation starts.

Katana... An interesting contraption.
Okay, I'll begin my rant, by suggesting that it doesn't have 95 reach, as it has a hitbox that extends well past the tip.
On another note, it has 37c and 101 speed. When +3 that's 102 speed and 40c... If you combine this with the 9:30 build, you can have 187 wpf. I shit you not. This makes the speed of the katana absolutely nutso, and the ultimate spam wep. When fighting this, it's hard to time your manual blocks in accordance with the weapon speed. You may be thinking that with 3 PS, it will do fuckall damage. Wrong. A 3:36 agility build with a scythe rarely bounces due to the very small range of damage with high wpf. (this can be checked on calculators). This 3:36 build with scythe is relevant to the 9:30 katana, as the damage principles are the same.
tl;dr = With the correct build boasting 187 wpf, and a +3 katana, u rape bitches.
