Long Hafted Blade was nerfed and I'm ok with that. It was seriously Over powered.
BUT
Seriously the damage was over nerfed. The Long Hafted Blade is over 9000 Gold now. The Damage is only 37 cut which is pretty crap for a Polearm costing over 9000 gold. I'm not sure how much damage it lost in the patch but I think it was around 8? And the speed is slow now too! Why can't it be either fast and not powerful or slow and powerful?
Just look at the other polearms around it. They all have around 45 damage and around same speed and price.
EDIT: Just realized this. The Hafted Blade is 4000 cheaper and the damage is only 1 less and is faster. Wow!!
