The weapon is still the best in the game, this isn’t asking for a buff. I just want to make it feel better to use - nerfs (just gimp the CC, leave the poking as it is) aren’t the point of this thread.
Certain actions you can perform with the Dueling Sword, most notably pushing, prevent you from doing anything else for an bizarrely long time. As in, the push is over but I still have to wait for the push animation to finish before I can go into a heavy attack. Push attack doesn’t have this problem, so I dunno what’s up with it.
For a weapon that’s supposed to be for duels, it feels awkward in that respect.
