I'm a LS user myself, but that was way before the buff and because it could be used on horseback.
It's nice to see that not everyone is biased, but you gotta agree there's a lot of them.
Unless that "2h haters" comment was aimed at me, in which case get you dun goofed. I play all classes and am currently 2h because it's easy as dicks. At least I admit my class requires almost no skill.
Yeah same, been using LS through probably 3 or 4 buffs/nerfs that it has been through (been using it since 2010 or 2011), I just like its look and feel and it's not too long (longer swords get stuck more on siege).
No, 2h haters comment not directed at you.
In my opinion, some things are a bit easier than other things (1h no shield for instance is hard, as is archery imho) but I've played 2h, 1h/shield, 1h no shield, polearm, etc...and I believe that with practice I would be just as good or better using any weapon type, not just 2h.
I think a good player is a good player and a bad one is a bad one. The instastab polearms are only dangerous in the hands of good players, for instance.
Give a total noob lordly armor and a +3 Longsword and give (insert good player's name here) rags and a club and (the good player) would beat him 10/10 times.
People like to find easy things to direct their anger/discontent at, and mob mentality is a common human phenomenon.
