Just admit that you want to have OP sword (and shield) and move along. And stop acting like a fucking retard.
I couldn't care less what they do to it cause i would still use it. I'm not a min maxer and i take style over stats any day. Whatever they do to balance it (and i admitted multiple times that the sword needs balancing), i'm gonna keep it anyway. Now that we're through with this pathetic attempt of yours, let's move on to the numbers.
Arabian cavalry sword is
105 reach,
33 cut and also 2k cheaper than the top tier swords. Whether it should be priced higher or not, being the best cav sword, is up for debate. That 2 (two) extra reach IS a significant advantage no matter what, especially on horseback.
Do you consider the weight difference a disadvantage ? As far as i remember , you won't feel the difference in blocking heavy weapons, will you ?
So please try again and point out what's wrong with my latest suggestion for stats ? HOW does it make the sword op ?
P.S. and will you change the tone already, i don't feel like barking at another person on the internet for the whole evening.
P.P.S. your suggestion is also perfectly fine with me, although rather boring
@ Zlisch
Bring those suggestions right here please, i'd like to see it. I've prepared 12 loom points to roll as a supreme byzantine commando and you can't stop me now. Now seriously , you either have no idea about what "balance" is or just want to troll me along with Falka. On the previous page i've proposed 3 more options for changing the sword and noone objected, except for you , again. Am i the real problem here ?
