[STATS] Unrealistic but awesome suggestion

while 2H swords are boring and weak

2h swords are my all-time favorite weapons. They don't have some of the same bonuses that polearms have, but they have fantastic animations. Both side swing directions have considerable reach, and rarely bounce. The thrust adds a huge amount of reach, allowing you to attack with minimal exposure to enemy melee. The castor swing lets you quickly dispatch inattentive or inexperience shield users.

Leshma just stop it, you will never reach Michael level of idiocy so stop trying.

Yeah they are my favourite as well but I'm tired of hitting STR monsters 4 times in the face... cut is really weak. And 2H animation isn't that epic, polearms have strange animation and many times catch me off guard, on the other hand I can block swords fine. Also if I'm polestunned things get nasty but if I'm hit by a sword it's not a big deal.

Castor swing I don't use because I'm not a spammer and that in general is spamming techinique used by STR heavy builds. I'm AGI build which likes to use footwork and precise head swings/overheads but I do glance on STR heavy monsters in plate (6 PS) and that annoys me.

I really don't have any trouble killing shielders but I would like more damage for those STR heavy spammers and cut damage simply ain't good enough.

Wut? Actually 2h swords are the most powerfull weapon in game.

[Leshma]

Why don't you use 2H, GLA spammer?

[Fraemi]

I disagree AS a 2h and I'm sure noone will seriously agree with op.
I'd sure love to have a 33 pierce on swings danish gs, but that would be ridiculously OP.

Personally, I like 2h swords because their animations are crisp, clear and "clean", they deal respectable damage, they have good feints and they are straightforward weapons the strength of which is determined by the finesse and skill of the user, they also make the best display of M&B's forte - a great melee combat system.

Well, I have both 2h and polearm wpf. I have both wpf because I want to use both 2h axes and polearm axes. How player can ask buf for 2h swords when he plays with heirloomed heavy armor and greatsword(easiest playstyle right now imo), mystery for me honestly.

Of course I'm aware of that but I wouldn't mind 2H swords being OP thefore I made the thread. Too many shit have been OP, 2H haven't been in a long time so why not?

See, just like you know that I have everything loomed, I know that you're STR oriented polestun bundle of sticks who happens to love axes

[Penitent]

2h swords aren't boring...they are the fastest and among the longest reach weapons.  Plus they look the coolest.

If you removed 10 damage but made them pierce, they would do roughly the same amount of damage against medium armored opponents.  WHat's the point?  WHat's the benefit?

I'm ahead of the curve on that one. Been convinced for a while now. Still, not nearly Michael levels. There is much room for.."improvement"?
