If they introduce something much stronger than current 1h power sword I will be pissed. Would all but confirm they intend to power creep everything to better handle havoc at the cost of existing game modes.
I really can’t emphasise this enough, but F#©K THAT.
I’ve seen none of the testers actually show indepth psykhanium usage of the relic sword, but did see Reginald go indepth with the heavy stubber there and the way I see it it basically makes every single other ogryn ranged weapon pointless unless you’re doing a for fun build. Based on that I expect power creep is on the menu for sure.
Are we looking at the same chart too, because in the Reggie video where the damage chart is shown this sword is basically at combat axe level single target damage but for frame data nearing the greathammer. I actually think the power sword rocks, regular attacks are able to make opportunity pretty easy for more sword swings.
I don’t see how taking a sword, dropping it on the character that wants to spam attacks, and discharging the weapon over time for hitting things with a potential lockout is an improvement here. I get the opposite impression, that the power sword’s maintenance fools them into thinking this is the better trade.
And I can clearly see the power creep with the stubbers but these 2 swords not convinced.
I haven’t had a chance to sit down and look through all the videos yet but that is honestly enormously disappointing to hear. Rather than attempt some balance with lots of interesting options we’re moving towards out with the old, in with the new 
This game might yet find a way to completely alienate me despite adoring the series as a whole.
I really hope that isn’t how things shake out. The last thing the game needs is to get easier.
Good news Everyone-ish! The NEW weapons all have the keep_active_on_stun = true flag properly set, the old power weapons still don’t.
