The changes to parry feel excellent. this was a fantastic adjustment.
but I still think the base damage and armor damage are too low.
even if DS and other meta melee weapons were nerfed, Catachan still wouldn’t be a viable option in the current state.
please consider increasing its damage a bit. but it shouldn’t be buffed too much, so proper testing is necessary.
personally, i don’t think a sword should be able to handle Carapace armor, so the damage increase should primarily focus on improving its effectiveness against non-Carapace
