As a spamming katana user since 2012 (after I left my Bec De OP ) I would like to see a katana buff, as does everyone with a favorite weapon

But the katana does not really need any buff over the Longsword, it already got buffed enough in previous patches, more reach and more pierce (finally!). Katana is fine as it is.

Did Thomek pay you for this?

Look this is simple physics. The Katana is the lightest sword of that class and the shortest, it should have the best speed rank out of the bastard, hbs, and longsword. It should also have lower damages to represent the lighter blade.

If I swung two baseballs bats that both have the same weight except one was longer, I'd swing the shorter bat faster because it is more compact. The bastard sword currently has 1 more speed rank than the katana despite being heavier and longer.

Seriously change this weapon's stats. I know everyone hates the Katana and the weeaboos that use them, but the current system isn't realistic.

On average Japanese steel products of that time were inferior to European stuff because of the shitty iron sands the sushi smiths had to use as ore. Actually if there was an on_block trigger available I'd think about coding a mechanic that decides whether or not a katana or nodachi breaks when blocking or getting blocked by an European master race steel weapon.

Sometimes, looking at thread title and OP avatar is enough to form an accurate opinion of the content of the first post.

Can we forget about realism and that its seen as weaboo gear for a sec and just look at balance

The problem here is not that katana is UP, Longsword is just too good in what it does. It should really have a couple less swing damage or weaker stab. A while back we had some overbuffing on the middle priced swords.

Forget about stats. Both weapons are equally OP, each in its own way. Katana is better for slashing (higher damage and that sweet curved blade that will be always an issue to deal with). On the other hand, Longsword is good for everything, excellent for slashing, has good thrust damage, super fast.

Oh come on, is 1 mln gold really so much for you?..

Lol I totally forgot about that

Nah, just comparing Porthos MW Katana against Hussar MW Longsword. Somehow, on siege server I always end up picking their MW versions of those weapons. For me, Katana feels faster and it's easier to confuse enemies with it. Probably because it has curved blade.
