Yeah that is more or less what they did. But they accidentally made it more or less complete shit.
I've had it said "Frank you get kills stop having a cry" to which I retort "wahhh, wahhh" one can get kills with a trident but that doesn't mean it isn't the arse end of the universe. Before it was okayish, I'm just asking for a return to 'okayish'. Hence a buff to cut. Really though left to right swing would be pimp, but given its longer than the Swiss Hal, its kind of hard justify.
