Katana

[Haze_The_Hobo]

I suggest that Katana needs to be nerfed either in speed or cut damage u might laugh and think its funny shiz, but it ain't. It's overpowered weapon, if u compare it to any 1h weapon it owns them all in damage and speed combination, its way too powered in that matter.

It has too many good stat, it has 37 cut damage but it has also 16 pierce.. (WTF???) It has 101 speed, still it has 95 length. If u know anything about old katana's, u know they suck and they can't match any real sword (not even 1h).

IT IS TOO CHEAP TO USE!

Well this is only my opinion, but atleast u shud make the spamswing slower, if not nerf the speed to 99 or the damage to 30cut.

We should just increase the cost by a bit. The 95 length though makes it good for things like siege but can be rather bad in Battle where reach counts for a lot.

I personally am fine with it, as that is honestly garbage reach for a two hander, and even a lot of one handers have better.

Well anything what makes it not so easy to abuse..

You're probably the guy that was raging on EU_4 while the Ninja clan was playing.
And I've been waiting for a proper "Nerf the katana"- thread.
Also, if you've ever read my posts regarding katana, you can just skip this. Have said the same before.

Anyway, for the ninja clan it doesn't matter if you jack up the price of the katana. We all use light gear that compensates for an expensive sword. Personally my total equipment cost is 13k gold or something.

It has too many good stat, it has 37 cut damage but it has also 16 pierce.. (WTF???) It has 101 speed, still it has 95 length.

However, it already is twice as expensive as the bastard sword. And they're equally good swords. Could post stats, but let's say that katana has better speed and cut, bastard has weight, pierce, price and length. You raging over 16 pierce which is the lowest of all swords and only two hander with lower thrust* is the Practice Longsword. Also, this belongs to Game Balance forum

Right...

EDIT: To clarify. Merci, ToD

The practice longsword does not have pierce it is blunt.

Regardless though, the reach is crippling enough that the Katana is not really that OP. Compare the devastation that you can do with the Miaodao.

[Ninja_Murphy]

and if you are the EU_4 shielder, you are only angry because of me getting past your shield often. This is not because of the katana, it is because of my footwork, I step around your shield and tricked you into looking a certain way. So please do not rage about the katan because it gets enough shit already. (pardon my passionate choice of words)

Katana isn't a 1h weapon, your comparison is irrelevant

[Tears of Destiny]

If you are concerned that it can be used in one hand, just buy one, then before joining a match, while choosing equipment hover your cursor over the katana in the equip screen and read the second listing of stats. the top listing is what it can do in two hands, and the bottom listing is for one handed mode (and is terrible).

It's overpowered weapon, if u compare it to any 1h weapon

if you compare it to any 2h weapon is an underpowered weapon.

[Fluffy_Muffin]

I think an apropriate ballance for the katana would be reducing the speed by 1 and adding 3 pierce dmg to the stab

[Vrael]

No, dont nerf!!!! The only reason that he says this is that he rages 'cayse we pwnt him on battle.

Thank you.

[Ninja_Khorin]

And my ninjas should learn to attack the argument and not the person who makes the argument. 

[Gisbert_of_Thuringia]

Well I'm not really against a small nerf of the katana^^

Damage is fine, a bit less speed would be nice.

But what I don't understand is why do you compare it to 1h weapons?  It is meant to be played 2h^^

[Zisa]

You should all fuck off.
Katana is a gimmick weapon, many are better.
Heck take a longsword and watch yer KDR go up.

Most popular 1 handed swords are longer, FFS, STFU you goddam scrubs.

You should all fuck off.

NO U!
