if you are under 8 ps with one handed weapons you are completly usless.
I currently have 7 ps,and i have problems with heavy armored dudes i still need 4 hits to kill them. Anything under 7ps will glance and it will deal low dmg.
You will need 5-6 hits to kill anyone unless you use some of the picks.
Only one handed swords need buff,every sword exept nordic war,champ,kas,elite scimitar,arab cav sword,italian sword is completly usless.
Any 2 handed weapon is awsome,but moust of 1h weapons are complete shit.
1h axes and hammers,and picks are fine,they dont realy ned a buff,but 1h swords realy need buff because they deal very low dmg,they are slower when compared to 2h and polearms.
Enemy will shurely block your first attack,and it realy seems easy for 2h to block 1h swords. 1hvs1h is usualy turn fight i hit your shield,you mine untill someone brake someones shield or someone else interfeere.
It is very lame and need to be fixed.
