Yeah 722, it would be heavier, longer and slower Nordic Champion's Sword. In other words, Nordic's version for cav.
I proposed those stats, because of simple elimination.
Having 105 length 1h weapon already gives it amazing reach from horseback, so I don't think we should increase the length even more. It would be ideal to set it's swing damage to 32.5, but i'm affraid we can't be that accurate
. If you set it's swing damage to 33, it could just replace Arabian. Swing speed isn't that important from horseback (it matters much more when dehorsed), so even if you give it 1 less speed than Arabian, with same swing damage, almost all people might change to new sword. I just feel, giving this sword 33 cut damage on swing will make it the obvious choice for cav, just like Arabian Cavalry Sword is now.
I know 1 swing damage less makes huge difference for 1h cav, but nowadays 1h thrust (even from horseback) isn't that bad, so having 2 thrust damage more should give it some nice bonus. It could even get 3 thrust damage more (up to 22 thrust damage, since it would be 2 speed slower than Nordic).
I think 1 more swing damage or 2-3 thrust damage is valable choice. Maybe slightly favors Arabian for 1h cav, but both weapons would be very good - 105 length is the key here, because atm Arabian is the only 105 length 1h weapon in game.
Anyway, it's just my opinion, and i'm not the balancer. I just hope it will be added to the game in any form. Stats can be tweaked later, if needed
.
