i love longsword

[Maghoul]

i like how spell casters can use it when it is a giant weapon that should be too heavy for a caster to use that does high damage and then bonus damage if you parry with it, fair and balanced to have high damage spells plus a high damage weapon

If your complaining about longswords and casters just wait until you run into a druid in HR.. be a real quick L for ya... Druids need to be nerfed in the worse way not the warlock with a longsword ;)

two different issues can exist at the same time

your statement is true, but I am telling you that a sorcerer or a warlock with a sword is nothing to worry bout, I much rather them come at me with that then there spells lol... unless they have a fulgor a long sword not gonna help them vs any other class.. there best bet is to keep the spell book in there hand .. and if your getting wuped by a caster with a long sword then thats skill issue , not a dev issue.

You do realize Longsword weights around 1,5kg?
How weak you are?

The long sword has been OP since day one that riposte is just so unbalanced it's like a half baked intended mechanic that they applied to one weapon and then thought, f' it, cba now

he even has an occultist hood on

Longswords weigh almost nothing. You need to present a different argument.

People still think Longsword is OP? It's like the most mid weapon in the game and gets outclassed by most one handed weapons lmao. If you want to complain about ripostes then complain about lantern shield cause that is some bs

[Maghoul]

all i'm seeing is people on the discussions saying that i'm wrong, well the fact of the matter is the mass majority of spell casters opt into using the longsword and dont really use spells at all, you're all entitled to your opinion but i dont think a class that focused on the study of magic should know how to adeptly use something as big as a longsword it never made sense

[Alasdair]

most weapons weigh almost nothing. at the heaviest any weapon is 6-12 pounds. a modern ar15 is about 5-8 pounds as well, a soldiers kit weight wise has remained the same relatively for a long time because it's designed to be as much as the end user can bear. I assume stamina would be the main issue, but there is no stamina system in game and I don't even think I want one.

If they'd just make the parry deal more reasonable damage most people probably wouldn't hate it as much.

Seriously the damage multiplier on both parry hits is higher than the last hit of most weapon combos, and it comes out twice in comically quick succession (especially compared to the basic swing speed of the LS's basic combo string).

Longsword and Barbarian have been meta for months now. If anything else was of the same tier, it would be meta. He isnt complaining about casters, he's complaining that caster classes can use by far the best melee weapon in the game.

8-10 damage over average (White tier)
*Despite Average Attack Speed*
One of the best attack patterns in the game (Accurate longrange poke, wide sweep, wide sweep from other direction)
Comparable range of a spear (Longest range melee, only slightly less range than spear)
Hits 5 damage higher than spear despite faster attack speed
-30 movement speed (-20 when blocking with fighter perk)
Comparable longrange weapons are -40, -45, -50*
*-50 were buffed to -45*
Best Block in the game
TWO 125% counter attacks on successful block
Fighter Perk Barricade works while riposte swinging (Bug?)
No sourspot
Slightly above average hitslow

I could go on, if you claim any other weapon/class is better, or even on par with longsword, you dont have enough experience playing the game.

I love long sword give long sword master strikes too so we can attack while we block.
