Yeah... no, that means you are doing it wrong.

What would would you even macro anyways?
A feint? Why not just, you know, feint?

I do not understand why do you hate those weapons. Thrust attack is the trickiest attack ever, and with long range (which those swords have) they become very decent. Plus thrust damage deals pierce damage which works well against heavy armored foes. Moreover, swings are pretty good in overall when needed. It's the players fault to underestimate such items.

Good call. They are top tier swords and should have stats to match. Here's my suggestions for new stats.


Side sword
weight 1.3
requirement 8 (-2)
spd rtng 101 (+1)
weapon length 95
swing damage 32 cut (+5)
thrust damage 26 pierce (-1)

Long Espada Eslavona
weight 1.25
requirement 10  (-2)
spd rtng 98 (-1)
weapon length 103
swing damage 29 cut (+1)
thrust damage 28 pierce (+1)

Devs should implement this and it would be good.

to accelerate the side spin thrust that most top players use to overcome problems with the game engine.
:kick out 30-60° to right then 90-180° back to left and jab someone in the side and always get guaranteed hit

thrust straight into someone and high chance of completely missing or glance

After playing with eslavona and long eslavona (on MW version) I have to say that both are ok. I think sidesword is always a nice and unused sword. Why? People don't care about its power. Having a 4 attack (thrust) make you more unpredictable. And another factor is speed bonus. You will thrust a lot of people running to you. If you hit them on the head, it's an instakill. With enough powerstrike, having 30 cut dmg is enough. You won't glance. And stabbing is just skill. By the way, i'm talking about MW version.

My last suggestion is adding +1 cut damage on eslavona, l/eslavona and sidesword. Three are expensive swords and deserve a little high cut dmg modifier.
Side sword: 28c, 27p
Eslavona: 26c, 29p
L. Eslavona: 28c, 27p.

Again, why would you even macro that anyway?
Fights are always different situations & angles, and controlling it personally is way better.
