The damage of that stab was rly low, no reason to use it anyway^^
I'm sure there's a better way to balance the weapon, than just to remove it's thrust entirely.
In fact if we look at the Claymore and the Nodachi, the Claymore has 43 cut and 22 pierce, whereas as the Nodachi has 43 cut and no thrust. How is that balanced?

Because we need to cull 'weeaboos' through 'balancing' measures. :rolleyes:(click to show/hide)

Hmm, it's still a heavy weapon (3.5 kg.), and not really too much slower than the claymore. 44 cut would probably put it on the level of being an almost-flamberge. Looking at how the items seem to have a correlation between weight and stab (claymore at 22 with 3 kg, great sword at 26 with 2.5 kg, looking at the same rough tier), it doesn't seem too ridiculous that the nodachi could have an 18 pierce 2h stab. I mean, it's already got -1 length compared to the German Greatsword. I'd support an increase of +1 cut, but only with a bit of a price buff too.
P.s 16 stab katana is a joke and a fucking liability.
:D
Cookie-cutter?
