Dude are you freaking serous?.... the 2h swords just got a big nerf.
This thread clearly just looks like a rage thread because they kill u.
The fact that they hit first is because that you get circled. Maybe the fact that they do footwork against you, Or you maybe have a fail build?
1h does nearly the same dmg as a fucking 2h. And the speed on 1h is ridicolous, trust me i can just spam people with 1h in duels, even with 1 wpf.
Lets try comparing the stats.
Long Espada Eslavonaweapon
speed rating: 99
weapon length: 103
thrust damage: 28 pierceswing damage: 27 cut
German Greatsword
speed rating: 92
weapon length: 123
thrust damage: 25 pierceswing damage: 38 cut
Look at the stab dmg, and the speed is way faster. And this is a little tiny 1h, while the other is a actual 2h. These weapons aint supose to have the same stats. The 1h got a shield with it, which you just have to rightclick to block. And the length is nearly the same. And the German is one of the biggest 2h swords out there.
