It seems that the guys, who decide how the stats of weapons are, are playing roulette. I bought a Spathion and planned my xbow cav character with light crossbow(2)+2*steel bolts(1)+spathion(0)=4 slots. Finally i got 13 STR with lvl 25 and loomed spathion to MW, then i see - BÄM - it has one slot
Nice i thought, just gave my loom points away for a shit which is absolutely useless now, cause ARABIAN CAV SWORD, which has HALF of the repair costs and 2 DAMAGE MORE and also 1 slot is far better now than spathion.
chadz or whoever did this cant be serious, first they make a OP weapon, then they make it UP.
They could have either nerfed the dmg a bit or speed but when they make 0 to 1 slot and the other stats stay the same, the weapon gets useless.
