I already have a Short Arming Sword and a Long Arming Sword loomed. Don't give me a reason (in addition to looks) to get an Arming sword +3 too D:
Short Arming has very nice stats now, so you are probably happy with that. Hopefully the Arming Sword can join it in the "weapons that have a purpose" category.
Historically, the Arming Sword category was probably the most common type of medieval sword, but in cRPG, most of the line is neglected because of inferior stats. That's a shame.
