do devs even test before implementing?

You need to open your eyes then. The blocked thrust stun of 1h has the same length as that of polearms or 2h (one of those is a tiny bit shorter than the other but I don't remember which one exactly, you get the idea). In fact unless you get chamberblocked or use an extremely slow weapon against an extremely fast one (say pike vs katana) the trust stun will never get your enemy a free hit on you in a 1v1.

Offtopic but +9000

Speed bonus is bad for your health.

From a realism point of view, it would be much easier to find weak points in your armor with a short onehander than with anything bigger. Think of it as an agile swordsman that stabbed your eyes through your visor or something.

i use a mw heavy gs, yes it is the slowest gw if u count the weight in, and yes i do get fucked on the stab stun from glances and blocks alot. i dont have this with one handers, so ye guess thats the weapon speed.

I'm not lying. That player wearing Peltastos Armor and have Side Sword, agility build (maybe he recognize himself).
Just saying, it is stupid that you can make more damage with 1H sword, than 2H or polearm.

I play well enough to have fun while playing, thanks for asking. Please complain a bit more, I'm bored atm and need something to cheer me up.

Yes, that would be stupid and that's why you can't.

I think people just need to learn to play with it for a while and not come straight to the forums when they have just been killed by a 1h, i think people have to adapt to the animation and when people will they won't QQ, as long as i top the scoreboard with my longspear, i dont care.

The only problem i have with the 1h stab is that it has not knowingly buffed 1h cav, its a OP piece of shit that just got buffed some more

NERF 1H CAV

[rufio]

it also counters 1 handed cav thow... and generelizing stuff dousnt make for a good argument. i never said 1handed stabs werent underpowered before, just now they have been overbuffed, and should be tweaked down quite abit, seeing something being very op after a change and commenting on it isnt a sin. and i played some good hours before comming to forum and ''QQing'' about this.

Afaik 1h stab on foot and 1h stab on horse are two completely different things. The latter hasn't been changed at all last patch.

ok my bad, it just felt like i did. ( being 1 hit by 1h horse stab)

Cavs that can't onehit at high speed are pretty much useless, just saying. You can't stay somewhere and fight until your target is dead.

This is off topic so dont open if not interested about how OP 1h cav is:

(click to show/hide)

1h cav builds are in the region of 15/21, they 1 hit people and have the ridiculous ghost range
2h cav builds are normally 24/15 and can normally 1 hit people ( getting the point yet?)
lancer cav builds normally 15/21 and does not 1 hit people (but i guess the extra length helps this), 21/15 lancer build rarely 1  hits people.

Its the build that creates the problems for me, 1h cav should have to sacrifice maneuverability for 1 hitting or sacrifice 1 hitting for maneuverability. Get my point yet?

15/21 allows the 1h cav to 1 hit and ride an arabian warhorse, this is where its OP compared to the other cav classes.

And before you come crying that i dont know how to play the class, i do, ive played all 3 types of cav for a good period of time and 1h cav is just ridicously OP, even most 1h cav will tell you that. Lancer is great for range but deals no where near the DMG the 1h cav does.

Rufio stop making threads while playing the game, nothing good can come out of it, only rage.

I'd rather buff lancers before nerfing 1h cav. 2h cav always was a gimmick anyway, because of the huge damage malus. Also onehitting people even with an ACS isn't that easy, it's mostly the very good 1h cav players who know how to reliably hit heads.

[Gurnisson]

1h cav is ridiculous in cRPG. Very easy class which can be quite forgiving too. With a 21/15 build (21/18 or 18/21 if you're lucky enough to have a high level build) the effectiveness is out of this world. It's extremely powerful. I only ever played the class at level 30, but I can imagine people like Royans with their level 35 builds having an easy time.

Sarranid Cavalry Sword in Native - 28 cut
Arabian Cavalry Sword in cRPG (+3) - 36 cut

That's an eight (!) cut difference and with the more effective builds riding- and power strike-wise in cRPG, it just makes the difference even vaster.
