Nordic Champion's Sword is totally POINTLESS

[Felagunda]

So I havn't looked at any 1h weapons in forever.  I remember how i used to love rocking my Nordic Champ Sword but now it seems totally retarded to use.  Nordic Champion's Sword cost 7.8k it's like 400G to repair.  You look at it stats and then look at the Nordic Champion's Sword which has the same stats expect for 3 more thrust dmg and cost 1k less gold lol.

Just seems like when you think about that alone it should be adjusted in some way.  Cost lowered or stats raised is some way. 

Another way to compare it's uselessness these days now that you must repair would be to compare it to another weapon. Long Arming Sword cost 5160 has 1 more spd 2 less cut 3 more thrust same range.  With the long arming sword costing 2.7k less do you really need most of these other swords?  It's just pointless as is now something should be done

Knightly Arming Sword:

weight 1.35
requirement 7
spd rtng 97
weapon length 102
swing damage 31, cut (on masterwork 37)
thrust damage 24 pierce (on masterwork 29)
6,880 gold

Nordic Champion Sword:

weight 1.35
requirement 7
spd rtng 97
weapon length 102
swing damage 32, cut (on masterwork 37)
thrust damage 21 pierce (on masterwork 26)

7,842 gold

So my masterwork NCS is pretty expensive and worse compared to a knightly arming sword, which is cheaper.

I suggest either a cost reduction, or a buff to dmg or speed.

Yep, there are better options out there than NCS

It's fine as cav sword, sure, it's pointless as masterwork.

SCS is now the cav sword, 33 slash, 105 length... it's not like the speed matters any on horseback. I used NCS as the cav sword prepatch, but with it losing 1 cut it's not that attractive now.

Interestingly enough, masterwork knightly arming, NCS, and SCS all have 37 cut.

Itemized heirloom thread says NCS and knightly arming MW is 36 cut

Sucks to hear, but I do just fine with it as my main weapon for my sword&board build. 1 point doesn't matter when I'm swinging for the head
