These posts are so dumb… are you just posting to get a rise out of people? Attention? You can’t seriously think they’re going to remove an entire weapon from the game.
Post something of value. Use the weapon and learn where you can excel with it and where you fall short. Then when you know it come five ACTUAL feedback on what needs tuning from your perspective. Not just “rEmOvE dA wEaPoN I nO LiKe”
If AGS should do anything, is it to balance things properly and create more perk combinations on gear to the game so you have more options, and allowing people make more unique dps, tank and healing builds
In the case of great sword - is it exactly how it should be. Nothing needs to be changed
Oh yeah. Remember when the BB was busted and people were one shot comboing everyone so they nerfed the SnS and then the BB was still busted and stayed that way and then the GS came out and people just forgot and now they just make dumb posts like this one?
Actually though, that nerf to the SnS was necessary. A good change (and I main the SnS).
I love the GS but there are some tuning that needs to be done. The most obvious to me is that skyward slash applies rend and disease even if it gets blocked. That seems wrong to me.
Honestly, yes, greatsword is strong AF right now and it deserves a nerf, i’ll not argue about that.
But what enables this crazy ammount of damage is the fact that most people are running hatchet along with it, and the immortality is just insanely strong i don’t even know why is that in the game.
yea and it got nerfed within 4 weeks. Massive nerfs. lowered shrapnel damage, lowered pellet count, lowered blast shot damage, added blast shot delay, roll in claw shot, list goes on and on my friend. I do believe gs is being treated with less nerfs as it is very easy to use and everyone can make use of its opness. There isnt nearly as many complaints as there was with the blunder which is crazy considering the heavys alone one shot players
I personally do not have an issue with it being in the game. I have never used it and will never use it in it’s current state for one sole reason. It is an ugly way oversized item.
You guys are silly. A single heavy is not enough to 1 shot someone even in light armor. I’m not arguing that the weapon doesn’t need tuning but there’s some very exaggerated claims going around here. I guess I should expect that in a thread called “remove the greatsword from the game”
Yeah in fact Whelps went 5 con and tried everything to get damage as high as a bow heavy headshot (which can 1 shot light under geared players) and wasn’t able to get any 1 shots. Kind of close on low con muskets but still no 1 shot.
