Longsword vs Heavy Bastard?

[Visus]

Is the Longsword going to receive a buff or Heavy Bastard a nerf at some point? The heavy bastard is basically just as good for 1000 less... I really don't want to sink my heirloom into the Heavy Bastard if it will change somehow. Should one be changed?

One more stab damage and one more range, higher price, lighter. Seems fine.

1 stab and 1 range =1000 gold?

You pay for superiority. Check simple sword and sword, 900 for 1 more cut and pierce.

Bastard has a scabbard for the vain among us.

Why do people feel that every sword should be unique in damage??? I for one think that more items with the same stats should be added. Instead of all these "nerf this buff that"

Yes. 1000 gold isn't much.
