make the plain bastard sword 1 slot?

Hey this is just an idea, it would be nice for archers or crossbowmen. just was thinking about it because the langes messer has 2 more pierce and only 3 less cut (in one handed mode, in 2 handed it's the same or better.)

what do you guys think?

of course the heavy bastard sword would remain 2 slots, as it shares stats with the longsword.

also the langes messer is 1.7 weight, the bastard sword is 1.8

There's 1 1-slot 2hander + 3 1handers with a 2h secondary mode.

All 1hs are 1-slot or less.

There's 4 polearms that are 1 slot.

Now ask yourself this. Among the archers and crossbowmen that take PS and some melee wpf; which is the most common? One would guess 1handers since there's so many options there: swords, maces, hammers, picks, axes etc. Yet 90% of these archers/xbowers take 2h. Let's just assume it's not because 2h is more powerful than the other melee classes just by being 2handers. That means that 2h must have the strongest/most varied/most efficient 1-slot items. Why would we then give them more, instead of giving better alternatives in 1h or poles?
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

I say no.  If you want a 1 slot weapon, get 1h WPF.  IMO there shouldn't even be a 1 slot 2h weapon.

If slots aren't an issue, 2h weapons are far superior to 1h weapons, so have 2h WPF is way more useful than having 1h WPF.  Even if you're stuck with an "underpowered" 2h weapon that is only 1 slot, you can still pick up any MW longsword or danish great sword and destroy people with your 2h WPF.

I actually don't mind there being 2h/poles that are 1 slot. Same with 1h that are 0 slot.

But there need to be more variety with slots. More 3 slot weapons, some 2 slot 1h (that gets a decent buff) and more 1-slot 2h/poles.

Ranged prefer 2h over 1h because 1h needs 6 ps to not suck balls against medium/heavy armor which most crpg players wear.

Dont you dare nerf the spear!


Also, i rather not have all archers running around with a bastard sword. I have a shield for a reason, to get close to those damn archers and get a relatively easy kill, but now id even have to actually fight to kill him?  :shock:

archers can rock 6 power strike easy.

You only need 15 str to use warhammer and it causes massif damage for 1hander  (31 BLUNT)!
