(Masterwork) katana + duel server = haha

[Ozwan]

Seriously, try it sometimes. Epic fun and a complete ruin of everything what native duels are. Not to mention any sort of balance.

Almost there :p

Also, could you post stats?

LOL, just did it yesterday (was using a regular katana though). Same feelings.

[Paul]

I'm joking tho. However those kind of threads make me want to do it.

What's more fun is beating these katana users with a steel pick. 

[Noely]

picked on up on the duel server this evening was good fun even with 3 agli and 115 wpf

[Ashrik]

What was changed? Katana speed upped by 1 and price reduced. Definitely a buff, but not much of a big one?

[BlackGyver]

Actually, katana speed had been reduced by a few points before that, so it's not a real buff, it's an attempt to balance the nerf, I guess.

If anything, katana's should be faster. They were invented to be light and quick to swing.

[Phyrex]

Katana duels are made out of win, I especially liked it pre-patch when I was facing Khorin and we both had balanced katanas with 215+ wfp. Those duels were epic, one of the few times I really need to stay focused, I loved it.

For people who whine about its supposedly ridiculous speed, don't blame the weapon for your complete lack of any skill. I don't have any problem blocking them, why do you?

Historically speaking, they were not much lighter than a good longsword and were faster to swing due to design and martial art more than anything.

Here is an interesting read on this:

While some might jump at me for being a heretic, I dare say the Katana, for all it's present day "Legend" was far from a legendary sword that would "cut the clumsy european swords in half".
If anything, a well crafted longsword would have been better overall in a battle.
