1h definetively doesn`t need a nerf!
There are just a few good 1h`s and ways less compared to other classes.
The Damage is shitty and a Shield doesn`t help much if youre average at blocking.
I`m Pole myself and mostly laugh about poor 1h fellowas softspottin my armor, if its
not Kansuke or Leonidas who are goin for me.
I think 1h rather needs a buff, especially the poor 1h stab.
Rework Horses instead ( less bump dmg, more Hp and less dmg on feets )
If you let yourself be spammed by 1h left swings your either very tired or just bad in melee.
Cheers
