Ignore this arrow. Was off topic.
1h Sword has decent bodyshot armour damage on heavies. Just needs a buff to infantry damage in exchange for some of its dodges and it will be a great weapon.
Dual Swords are very tiring to use, but are also super safe unlike some of these other weapons. At least they cleave armour.
Dual Daggers have the highest single target dps. An extremist weapon has to pay a price somewhere.
Spear isn’t any weaker to shields than any other weapon, but I agree that it’s poor in mixed situations. Having only 3 dodges doesn’t help.
Glaive’s light attacks deal pathetic damage to armour even on headshot (with Smiter it’s 17 light bodyshots/9 headshots for SV, definitely needs an increase here). It’s very much limited to using heavy attacks to kill elites and is otherwise a worse Exec.
2h Sword has a horizontal attack but it’s locked behind the heavy stab + its stats aren’t much better than the lights. Strange weapon overall. I’d like to see that horizontal sweep cleave armour and Heavy Linesmen added to the horizontal sweep.
Asrai Alacrity is pretty overpowered on weapons with good push attacks (you can also just push then light or heavy instead wasting the buff on a push attack if it’s not good for the moment).
It’s okay. It’s more effort than talents like FK’s Have At Thee yet yields the same reward, and being deactivated by even 1 friendly fire damage is just silly. I still use it for style points but 15%?
I miss Eldrazor’s Precision. Would have gladly taken -10% attack speed for the power buff (would mesh with a slower and more precise elf playstyle, though that playstyle is as rare as a Saltz that isn’t flailing his arms randomly).
Avoiding damage constantly is a suboptimal play. Needing to revive in gas, distant ratling you can’t focus on yet, Rasknitt’s lightning attacks, Sienna/team ff etc. I’m also not so sure about the need to spec for specific Bladedancer breakpoints. Unless you’re running ahead, won’t your team damage the enemies you applied bleed to as they are bleeding, meaning they’ll logically die with just the base bleed damage in the same amount of time?
Are you both implying that Gift of Ladrielle needs a buff?
