I guess you guys are smart enough to see what has to be done.

i see now that they have to be removed entirely

Sup with ur crusade against 2h atm?

Anyway, u are correct. The HBS needs a little nerf, and the katana needs a little buff. That should do the trick, since it might be a little op right now.

Hehe, I'm about to retire to go back to polearm, taking all the advantages I can ! :p
Nah, I like the katana and I don't want it to become a useless weapon. Realistically speaking, a katana has more piercing penetration than a longsword, yet in this game it doesn't. Its sole advantage was the decent damage for a great speed rating. Now the hbs has those advantages AND the thrust.And it costs twice less.
Buffing the katana would be fair.

all you want is your bundle of sticks ninja weapon to be top notch killing machine with no way to counter it.

Katana's already wreck shit up when played by a decent player, at times I almost lose 80% hp with 51 body armor in a single hit.

Can you explain to me how you know this is a fact? plus looks balanced to me as it's less weight and more damage, the price from my memory is that high simply because it's a weeaboo tool.

Arent there like 100 threads like this in the realism discussion...

[Falka]

nvm  just increase price of the HBS, it should cost at least 10k if not more. Also, why everyone think HBS is such badass weapon, longsword is clearly better.

Wut? 

[Akynos]

My source is not exactly the most reliable...an american youtube video comparing katana and longsword...you know what? scratch that 'realism' thing.

Thing is, it is still too expensive for what it is. Actually, HBS is now worth more than the top tier greatswords, seing how many people want to trade it .

I'll be looking at facts. Fact is, katana is not balanced compared to HBS. If you do not agree, then you can't judge properly.

[Lange]

Nobody knows why they buffed HBS.

Nobody knows why they buffed HBS.

I keep getting the feeling that devs buff and nerf to the extremes.After that, it's a shitload of work for the community to give the feedback and balance their patches.

You have to think that when discussing the price of the Katana, one has to take into consideration how much time is needed for the folding process, which weaboos are very proud to talk about (forgetting the crap quality of the metals mind you).  So the swordsmith slaving over each Katana needs to earn a decent buck or it's not worth his time.

So you are saying that asian products are reputated to be overpriced whereas european wares are cheap?
