I didn't even notice the Katana's swing had been buffed till now. I'm kind of curious why they pushed that so high while leaving the thrust ridiculously low.
I'm pretty much giving up on the idea that the thrust damage will get raised due to the unexpectedly negative outcome of this poll. But I would still like a logical reason why to leave the Katana at 16 when the next lowest thrust damage a sword has is 21 (the Bastard Sword that costs less than half as much). For anybody that argues realism, that doesn't explain why all the other swords have significantly greater thrust damage. For those that argue game balance, I can only see game balance bringing the thrust up to the level of other swords. I understand it's the fastest sword, but it's also the shortest sword. I can't see a reason for not giving it the same usefulness other swords have against heavy armor and horses other than a biased hatred against the weapon.
