Regarding "Bastard" 2-Handers

[Lech]

Reduce penalty to -10% of damage and -5% of speed (for short spears too). It would result in viable 1h option, while still worse than dedicated 1h weapon.

OR - leave penalties roughly same as now but make the bastard swords and longsword longer by a couple ticks.  Like Longsword 106 to 108 or 110 for isntance....


Then penalty would make more sense.
Right now those weapons are barely longer than long 1h weapons.

I still say using the ''x'' function is better, as it allows the weapon to used as a 1 hander if your shield break.

It is. We need some kind of longsword who use this function.

I killed bjord in a fair duel, while he was using his triple heirloomed GGS and I used a regular knightly heather shield and a regular katana.

I spent more or less an hour on the duel server accepting all duels and requesting duels to everyone using the same shield and regular :

- morningstar
- mace
- HBS

And did okay. Probably because their was about 80% of nonames (yet no peasant or complete noob either)

The shield did not break and I always used it together with the bastard weapons.


Now, it is true that the 1h mode of all these weapons is complete garbage. In real battle it's only useful on horse for the long ones (aka not the mace) and success in duel mode with this type of weapons only happens because they are unusual and even the best are not prepared. I'm just an over average shielder like dozens of others so it is more linked to the surprise effect than my incredible skillz.

When I was able to use a shield I've gotten kills with the bastard weapons. The slow speed throws people off and you can sometimes just walk your swing into people from a slight distance.

Also, I fully support making the bastard sword a one slot weapon.
