I have failed my life

[Sarryn]

I'd have to see a better log then vs just dodge. Dodge is semi hard to bash. Doesn't much tell the story of the rest of the weapon though. I'd try upping it to normal heron weight first before making it gsword etc material.

[Emdawe]

Yeah my guess is upping it to 15 lbs would make it pretty amazing, normal herons bash dodge just fine.

I went 7/9 on Santino (him in a mediocre combo set). The damage seems pretty variable, was doing some minimal testing against him and the frags seemed to range from low twenties up towards 45.

[Arkan]

It's got some super OB, so I assume the creator/s were trying to not make it too OP straight up. Trying to make up for the total lack of defense like the great stuff on regular herons, but not making it extreme... well, a tough call. I do think 15 pounds would probably be good without going too far.

Rather than survival by defense/combo on a regular heron, it's survival by beating the dung out of your aggressor. A definite change in tactics and a boon to improving the basic abs vs combo status quo.

A group of berserk Trolloc Warriors and fades still beats all though. Poor Lang.

[Arkan]

I may be mistaken, but I think the ob was downed. The weight is the same. But now ob is less than wsl.

Seemed like a good channie/wb/defense killer. But less so now.

[Zarth]

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken Arkan. I think many people have been using an unwarded weapon. In fact, I'm pretty sure my ob went up today.

[Arkan]

Weird. Deimos logged on, so I let him hold mine and he was unimpressed, said ob was lower. So I wielded. Ob was lower. Ward did give a few points after that, but not 28.

[Emdawe]

Seems like the OB got tweaked +5 when the damage typed changed.

[Thuvia]

This has been tested twice now. When it smited, the base ob was 95. After change to slash, ob changed to 100.

Bear I mind the difference you will see in game may differ depending on str, mood, etc.

Probably more tweaks still in the works, too.
