Exe Sword, in my opinion, is one of the most balanced weapons. Great dps vs hordes. Great armors damage… but low mobility, low survivability, low control.
Other weapons like 2H Sword and Halberd and 2h Hammer still have some advantages compared with Exe… but, if you feel the feeling that “I’m forced to use Exe”, it’s because we need some buff… the problem are the other weapons, with more disadvantages than advantages.
Try this mod… and you will notice that Exe Sword is not over power like you think.
