Still a very capable weapon. This mod's policy has always been to make Japanese gear a little overpriced to prevent too many people from using it.
That's true, it's still not bad. However, can we cut the good old "japanese gear should be worse just cause it's different" bc at least for once and look at the weapon just like we look at all other weapons, stat -wise and cost efficiency-wise , please ?
Magikarp, it wasn't any close to the flamberge, but let's skip that part. A nerf to the speed was expected , a nerf to the dmg was unexpected , but than again all weapons got their damage abit reduced so it's fine. But why the hell decrease the lenght of the weapon too ? Makes no sense to me at all.
So now claymore can do just as much slashing dmg as nodachi + it also has the thrust attack and very decent speed. German/Danish are now longer and even though the thrust attack is now slower, it is still 4 attack directions vs 3 of nodachi. Sword of war also looks like a very good option now (which is good). So, again... length nerf ?
Sorry but i call this an overnerf. And don't give me that "weeabo stuff should be unpopular" bullshit, i'm tired of it. We're discussing balance issues in top -tier 2handers branch here.
