Katana's Thrust

[Callan]

Okay not this is just a complete joke, The thrust of a katana is 16 Pierce, REALLY! 16. Thats 2 more than a wooden sword!. And Katanas really need some love, okay there spam weapons and make people rage. So what!. Katana's were used to thrust in battles so noone better reply "but its not a thrusting weapon" because it was. Its just extremely under powered. It needs a bit of love in my opinion. It would be brilliant to just increase the trust to 22 or atleast 20 because this just isnt right :/ xx

All the samurai equipment is overpriced and shitty because it's "exotic." Use a different weapons for more pierce.

[Callan]

Just because A weapon is exotic doesn't mean you have to nerf the piss out of its thrust, Its like giving the flambergue 12 cut damage because its "exotic" and "unique".

I mean, I do see the logic in making the pierce damage low because of the curved blade, but logically it should be some more, In japan warriors used the thrust the katanas tip into a heavily armor'd persons chest. That means it must be able to do some pierce. Im not asking for much, Just a TINY buff of pierce :/ xx

Needs a lower str requirement and price to better fit crappy stats or it needs to have better stats to fit the str requirement and price.

Katana thrust needs a small buff, agreed.

Also, 2h stab needs a buff in general, it needs to be smoothened out

Katana has the worst thrust of the entire game, not counting under 500 gold weapons. The studded warclub, you know that medieval baseball bat, has a 16b stab, while  the katana has a 16p stab. Ever tried thrusting with a baseball bat? I'm sure the katana would do a better job then the warclub. Or the long iron mace with its 20b stab, these weapons are a lot less suited for stabbing than the katana which actually did a good job at stabbing.

That last nerf from 18p to 16p was just completely unnecessary. I would like to have the guy who thought of that explain it here. All I'm asking for is a 19p/20p stab on the katana. That is still a bad stab, but not as completely useless as it is now.

Also what Thomek pointed out, if exotic weapons cost more, be consistent and make chinese weapons expensive too.

Reading these topics I see much people agree that the katana is underpowered so I would like to see the devs do something about it.

Katana is not UP, it's op.

[Kenji]

It's been pointed out before, and I definitely agree with katanas needing a thrust boost, but after all this time, I guess I just got used to it.

And yes, these 'exotic' weapons are way too overpriced, especially that wakizashi, paying the repair bills for something cosmetic just ain't cool .

are people really complaining about the 9 str requirement on the katana?

I agree that the thrust is hilariously poor and should either be buffed or compensated with higher swing damage (NOT SPEED PLEASE!!)

[zagibu]

Just raise it to 18-20p.

I don't get it either. It's suicide to use a katana with 9 str.
