Proposal 9: Keep Patch #7 Nerfs w/ Always On VFX

1. Leave the power sword as is in Patch #7
2. Display graphics and visual and audio feedback as if the power sword is always on
3. Make no stats changes at all.

@Reginald

Hear me out. The power sword feels boring and unfluffy to use but if I play with it from a PURE GAMEPLAY perspective, even in its current state, its a perfectly good weapon. Even a great weapon. So just change the look and feel of normal swings and it’ll immediately feel cool.

The old MP44 vs Thompson problem.

Proposal 11: Stamina cost on powered swings

Powersword Megathread + POLLS

you don’t really have to, but it’s just a per-swing stamina use while toggled on. Light attacks would use less stamina than heavies (like 1stam for a heavy, 1/2 stam for a light, prob more for a heavier weapon like the hammer or evis). Pretty simple. If somebody wanted to get more use out of it, they could have +stam and regen on their curios/weapon (which would be useful for more than just powered attacks too, but does give greater than the near-zero incentive that currently exists for bonus st…

1. When activated the powersword costs stamina to swing
2. It costs less stamina for light attacks
3. more stamina for heavy attacks

Proposal 12: Revert, reduce stagger and rework Power Cycler

1. Revert the changes in Patch #7
2. Nerf power sword stagger
3. Rework power cycler so that it activates the sword automatically if not used for 5-10 seconds

Community Feedback: What do you think about the Powersword?

I just had a wild idea… Make the power cycler a blessing that makes PS powered automatically if not used for 5-10 seconds. That wouldn’t increase dps, but would make it better if you suddenly have to pull it out and slap a few enemies. Also, revert the horrendous activated attack nerf and just nerf stagger and maybe cleave or damage on it.

Proposal 14: “Keep It Simple”

Powersword Megathread + POLLS

I had a proposal of my own in one of those threads that you could add to the list: Proposal: “Keep It Simple” Standardize the number of charged hits to 2. No extra charged attacks for chaining heavy attacks. Power Cycler blessing now has a T3 version that adds +1 charged hit. Power Cycler T4 reduced to +1 charge instead of +2, but now also doubles the duration a sword can stay charged after activation. Henceforth if the power sword is deemed to be underpowered or overpowered it would be adjus…

1. Standardize the number of charged hits to 2. No extra charged attacks for chaining heavy attacks.
2. Power Cycler blessing now has a T3 version that adds +1 charged hit.
3. Power Cycler T4 reduced to +1 charge instead of +2, but now also doubles the duration a sword can stay charged after activation.
4. Henceforth if the power sword is deemed to be underpowered or overpowered it would be adjusted by changing the damage/stagger/cleave values instead of the number of charged hits.
