honestly after considering it a bit I think the real reason everyone is against the dueling sword is because its on all characters like nobody cared when the sword and dagger was all kerillian used nobody cared when the sword and mace was all kruber used nobody cared when the rapier was all saltspire used and nobody cared when fire sword was all sienna used. like am i crazy how did everyone start caring about the balance of the ‘best’ so much. ---

I don’t care that the Dueling Sword is so strong. I rather other weapons get buffed to compete. ---

that would be a lot of power creep that would nullify the difficulty advances they’ve given to us… ---

which if you didn’t know were things that are essential to in weaves which are way harder than havoc and everyone who does weaves are just cool with that being how the game mode works. just go play aurics if it bothers you so much ---

i want the power/chain weapons to shred enemies they need more power but i think combat blade and dueling sword will always be ideal but maybe if the other weapons are more powerful the may be able to overtake the light weapons in usage ---

Can’t say I care much about that… I think it’s a shame that most weapons aren’t viable in the higher parts of the game. ---
