Post by: Stormcrow on May 27, 2011, 08:46:12 pm

Title says it all


German Greatsword 15,192 gold

weapon length: 123
weight: 2.5
difficulty: 15
speed rating: 92
weapon length: 123
thrust damage: 26 pierce
swing damage: 38 cut
slots: 2
Can't use on horseback
Secondary Mode


Great Sword 12, 363 gold

weapon length: 120
weight: 2.5
difficulty: 13
speed rating: 93
weapon length: 120
thrust damage: 26 pierce

Basically the only real differnce is that the german greatsword has +1 cut -1 speed and costs 3000 more gold than the regualar greatsword.

speed rating: 95
weapon length: 120
thrust damage: 28 pierce
swing damage: 40 cut

this is my sword and i love it

however whenever i loot a german you forgot to mention length, its actually quite noticeable, that i can hit someone with the tip of german from easily more than the plus 3 length it claims

Same is Sword of War vs Danish Greatsword

Sword of War 12871
weapon length: 121
weight: 3
difficulty: 15
speed rating: 93
weapon length: 121
thrust damage: 23 pierce
swing damage: 40 cut

Danish Greatsword 15922
weapon length: 124
weight: 2.5
difficulty: 15
speed rating: 92
weapon length: 124
thrust damage: 24 pierce
swing damage: 40 cut

Danish has -1 speed, -0.5 weight, +1 pierce, +3 lenght, +3k gold.

Don't know if a stats change is necessary since it's more a matter of choice between extra speed and extra damage/lenght, but Greatsword and Sword of War should have the same price as German and Danish since they are definetly not inferior.

No.

And if you even considering to suggest modification for balancing within a similar group of weapons, it should always be by nerfing one of the items, never buffing. Buffing items for in-category balance will gradually unbalance the whole category with respect to the others.

I am 99% sure that you are a user of the german greatsword looking for an excuse to buff your weapon. If you demand that the greatsword is nerfed, then perhaps there is truth in it.
