Nerf Elite Scimmitar

[Bulzur]

If I see an elite scimitar on the ground - I drop whatever I have and pick it up.

I do, unless i've found a steel pick before. And then, i tend to always use mw items over normal steel pick or elite scimitar. Deadly steel pick is fun.

No, it's the stats. Fast and damaging with semi-decent range.

88 is "semi-decent range"?  Really?  In what reality?

- Italian is a very balanced sword. Don't have the longer reach, or the high damage but is pretty balanced.
- Messer don't lack reach. 92 is enough.
- Scimi lack damage? Oh! It's just a joke. Maybe unloomed scimitar with 30dmg. MW Scimitar is 33 damage. Do you think that 33/35 damage is very noticeable? (+-3 dmg on "static hits"). +2 speed compensates -2 dmg. And it's a cheap weapon, that allow you to carry better equipment without losing money. The high damage you get on a weapon, the less noticeable difference. Try a 24/15 shielder hitting hard with scimitar. Sometimes with speed bonus I kill tincans on 1headhit. TBH I think that regular scimitar is the best 1handed sword (Speed, reach, damage, price). By the way, it's only my opinion.
- Nordic short war sword lack reach, but the speed is awesome. Try to block a feint and NSWS hit you before you can see that sword swinging.

I use italian and i know how to do it, however it's outclassed in damage by ES (2 more damage is great help, especially with low values as they beat the armor treshold and start to do damage), and have lower reach reach with is crucial.
-it's not bad not good, but scimi have excellent reach
-yes, difference between 30 and 32 is huge. i would not use weapon with lower than 30 base damage as it's too random (armor penetration roll can cost you life)
-damage and reach are bad, sure it's fast, but without damage to back up your turning into swings it's pointless and take too much time to kill people (especially with such reach)

And nuweidao is good weapon, it's not too long but speed and damage more than make up for it. It's just a bit worse than elite scimitar.

I understand that the elite scimitar is really nice and all, but what makes it that much better than the other top 1h weapons? I think 1h weapons are close to being balanced. Some weapons just need focus shifts on range/speed/damage, and some need to be buffed in line with the rest, but it's getting to a nice point where there are plenty of 1h weapons to choose from.

All I know about the scimi is that the best players in Australia use it. And with it I have seen them wipe out groups of 5 or more people on there own. Last week the server made it 2 vs 12 and they still one. I know that their rediculas ability isn't just because of the scimi but I do know that they are a little bit less dangerous when they use other weapons (only a tiny bit).

That said If all the common users of the elite scimitar were to fight me at once. my chance of victory is about 3 -4 times better if they used any other weapon.

Necro much?

Although elite scimitar is still the most used 1h and it does deserve a nerf (imo).

[Camaris]

The nerf was a joke. It should be high damage but its to fast.

[Magikarp]

This thing only deals 34c damage now, stop whining already, others deal way more damage.
The speed is the reason why youd choice this weapon.

[Dalhi]

Every weapon can be considered as OP when is overused. Is that a reason to nerf elite scimitars? Strongly doubt it. Most of the shielders that I know use it becouse of its good combination of the speed and range.

Well, the only way to fix it right now that i can think of is to change its model, so that its tip is actually where the hitbox is, maybe make it slightly thicker too.
