Why was Sword of Night and Flame nerfed?

[Iconoclast]

They just reduced the damage instead of changing it to cast Night Comet like it's supposed to.
Is FROM retarded?

It did way to much damage, compared to casting with an S scaling staff and the same spell.

They made Metal Wolf Chaos, objectively one of the greatest games of all time, so no.

For years we nerf single player games now because some items are to good in the forced crappy multiplayer part.

The flame ability didnt do way too much damage, and it was nerfed just the same.

No ♥♥♥♥ it did way too much damage, it's copying a 60 INT sorcery that normally takes all your FP. If it actually casted Night Comet then it wouldn't need to be nerfed in the first place.

Considering that the weapon art is in its function very similar to "Flame, Fall Upon Them", they needed to nerf the sword or buff the spell.
I use the sword regularly and I think the nerf is justified. We can argue about the 40% increased FP cost, but the damage was definetely too high.

It did / does tho. Havent seen no-hit or speedruns yet?

Because you aren't supposed to kill every single boss in the game in 3-5 hits with minimum stats

[Sonnenbank]

with the correct setup you could like 3 shot almost every boss with that sword....

If you think bossfights like the one here in the link are fine ,....
i dont know what to say

Damage was fine, not OP. What it needed was an FP cost increase so that it can't be spammed. Ruined a perfectly good weapon art but at least it still hits well.

So did absolutely nobody actually read the original post before responding?
It's literally ONE (1) sentence.
I guess this is why FROM gets away with being retarded, FROMdrone defense force is also retarded.

Dont speedruns use Hoarfrost? I dont watch speedruns, I compare damage to other weapon arts. And no, it didnt deal way too much damage. The beamcannon did do too much. Flame abilities damage was just good at best, and now its pretty bad.
