Balance of the sword 2 hands

[Dekk]

the sprint + light attack is overpowered, for a normal light attack at 900, the sprint + light attack is twice 1200 (2400), I literally roll through the game with this attack I run through all the maps and as soon as I see one enemy or even several since it's a double cleave: just one shot them, for bosses it's the same, the AI ​​doesn't even have time to move, I don't need to use the parry nor the perfect parry, in short a real cheese of the game. I'm going to have to change weapons but it's hard when you have a weapon up to the max which has stats much higher than all the others and an OP attack to change for less good

What sword are you using? I compared my damage with some two handed but none of them beat my combo sword and axe, maybe because i dont have much strenght

[Dekk]

divine fortress, but the problem is not the weapon, it's the sprint + light attack, too much damage, double aoe, safe and easy to use, other attacks are useless when you find it

[Deadlock]

Yep, bought the 2-hander from the blacksmith, turns the game into a cakewalk.

How did this pass quality testing? What a shame.

[Carnival]

it is the same with the running light spear attack.
way to strong.

[Deadlock]

I swapped to the Slayer axe, strength scaling A, still deals 700+ damage per hit. At least I don't have to swap to single handed everytime I find a symbol chest...

I also upped the difficulty, it's more fun now.

i dont know how is the endgame now, but in the beta i reached level nearly 200, i was doing more than 3k in every hit with one handed, but i didnt found the weapons i was using yet...

Same here, 99% of my attacks are "wirlwind" with divine fortress. You don't even have to build up momentum, Run+attack spam just plows through regular enemies and run+attack+backwards roll cheeses every boss. Use it while it lasts...

Got almost 1000 enemies in the graveyard challenge in coop that way, lol.

Ahm, wth?
I just started the game and loaded my save. My two-handed weapons are gone and I can't unequip the shield.
??? Is my save bugged all of a sudden?

[Majber]

I wonder what devs think about this thread.

Your shield is probably thrown away. Exit the inventory, call your shield back and enter inventory again - it should be OK.

And about 2H swords, yeah, we definitely need to look at it little closer, thank you guys for the feedback :)

[Zenuf]

I don't think it's specifically 2H swords that are the balance issue, though they are the worst offender. Any weapon that has a double striking attack on sprinting light has that attack completely overshadow the rest of it's move set. I think that's Spear, 2H Sword and Dual wield. I think if you reduced the damage of each hit by 50%, it would still be a useful attack due to how wide an arc it covers.

That worked, thank you.
