Wheel of Time MUD

So im just curious if everyone knows this sword is really bad? I have 99% lblades and 93% shield parry and only get 123 pb with it. it gets 175 ob brave with 19 str but can barely bash abs. Everyone that I talked to either said its the worse unique/sword in game or that it shouldnt be like that.

Is it a long or medium blade?

1h long blade

It is shitty

I'll gladly accept rigsword back

You can try kill me for it

FYI ... I just closed my browser with test results.

*facepalm*

Its 14lbs - 1-2 ob more than brass hilted, (from memory), weapon damage thread says higher dmg on average but experience has shown that doesn't appear to be the case, practicing with bash has shown approx. 40% more misses with this than brass hilted, I'm unsure why. Tests were on blighted grasses or standard blighted trees.

Hress' testing indicates 1 handed its 5d5. That doesn't really fall into impressive damage territory.

Sometimes I wonder if there are other weapon stats that we just can't see. Way back in the day I remember thinking - hand-and-a-half sword is 12 lbs - I wonder how it bashes. The answer was - poorly, even though that was pretty decent weight back in the day. Heavy club weighs 17.5 lbs, but it doesn't bash very well at all. Maybe its the low OB. Maybe there's something else we don't know.

The purpose of this forum

Postby Voices of the Wheel » Wed Nov 16, 2016 8:45 pm

All,

When we first got these forums up and running after the last forums crashed, we were much more strict on trimming out the negativity, personal attacks, and balance issues. Over time we have gotten lax and the issues requiring immortal time and intervention have increased progressively. As such, a few general reminders about the forums and this forum specifically:

•This forum specifically exists as a place where players in our community can convene and talk about general topics, whether it be real-life issues, mud-related concepts, or anything between so long as it is appropriate for our community. Please remember to keep it civil, respect your fellow players, and always act as if you are a guest in someone else's house.
•Please do not start balance-related threads. This includes starting conversations over what you want to see upped/downed, what smob you feel doesn't load well enough, what class you feel is overpowered, or anything similar. This is not a reincarnation of the "Balance Forum."
•If and when an immortal starts a thread relating to balance, please attempt to post without negativity. If you have a complaint or issue relating to the issue, try to frame it in a way that does not lead to arguments or attacks amongst your fellow players. The intent of these threads is to get constructive feedback, not begin an argument or incite a flame-war.
