1 hand needs a fix.

[Vieuxcrotter]

I play almost exclusively 1h / shield

Blunt and Piercing dmg are fine, the problem is cut dmg on most of the swords are too low. Some swords are fine tho but most of them are underpowered. Not a single sword behave the same way you can look at stats all day long and on paper sword have good stats but when you start using the weapon you notice that some sword you cannot use the right swing cause its bugged, overhead swing is not reliable and left swing is predictable vs almost anyone that know how to play the game.

Axe have very high cut dmg compare to swords , have same or higher speed and destroy shields, so i dont see why some swords shouldnt get a slight cut damage buff.

[Phew]

I don't think the following would suddenly make the kuyak clones give up their +3 Danish Greatswords in favor of 1h, but these changes would go a long way toward making 1h less infuriating to play:

-make turn rate limit a function of weapon length&weight
-fix the high glance rate on 1h thrust and right swing (i.e. larger sweetspot)
-give 1h swords ~3% more damage on swings. Axes/hammers/picks are fine

Like Phew said footwork for a 2 hander is done to induce the other person to make a mistake. For a polearm guy its the same thing except mostly footwork for polearm is press s and swing.  Basically "footwork" for those 2 classes  means inducing the other player to make a mistake.  For 1 handers "footwork" means closing to combat range, inducing other player to make mistakes and then moving carfully so that their hits count.


Why should 1 handers be the only class that has to use footwork to not only induce mistakes in the opposition but also so that their hits count?

P.S

Like Froto said I have been around the block awhile, played every class possible for at least several gens.  And by far the most frustrating  melee class is 1 hand.  And if you really want to feel pain try 1 hand no shield.

1h w/o shield is the most fun I ever had in this game. For the 3rd gen now... although I kinda suck but that's mostly not class-related anyway.

[Skrubb]

Try using better footwork.

The Bread and Butter of 1h is gettin those hits to the head. Boom Boom Boom knock em all out.

Hahaha

1h seems fine to me. Unless someone's going to say it doesn't count because I use a military cleaver.

Also to show off my e-peen.

scores dont mean shit tho bud.  i just want my overheads to stop ghosting thru people. and hitting alsoi hitting my teamte 40 yards to the left

I understand but people are complaining 1h only has one real attack direction. I put that up to say differently. Tis all. I love using overheads as well as the left attack. Right attack has its place too.

You can surprise a lot of people with the reach of the right swing on 100+ length 1h swords It's close to a free hit.

except when people just backstep out of it and hit you in the face with their longer weapon.

[Teeth]

Turnrate nerf forced me to leftswing like the rest of the scrubs, instead of using the overhead which I loved.

[Mlekce]

I'm probably in the minority, but overall 1h is fine.

I stopped reading here.
Renegat is right,they wanted to nerf 2h but then nerfed 1h. And 2h can still do spinning stuff,helicoptering if they are good enough.
With overhead there is 60% chance to miss target unless you are attacking while standing still or target is not moving.
Stab works realy rare,but you cant stab anyone from close range,but spears and pikes can. 
when that happend i rage quit.

They don't because they think my lousy 1h isn't long enough to reach them in the first place. I get the hit and they stop running for a second, wondering what just happened.
