Sword Slash Rework

    Instead of having a 3 hit combo on M1/RT, what if the sword had a powerful single strike that could be charged up for increased damage over 1.2 seconds (max of 65), as well as some screen shake to displace the enemy. This would replace the Sword Slash, and the Sword Lunge could be rebound to only be done while holding block.

    I think this would reward precision and choosing when to attack, which would increase the skill ceiling of the sword while keeping the skill floor relatively low. It would also help the sword fit the identity of weapon swapping, while still allowing it to be a strong weapon when used alone.

    Then the guns would need a "charge" attack.

    What would be the point? 1.2 seconds? The new weapon switch time is going to be 1 second flat. Your rework would make it literally impossible to even get a single hit on an experienced double gunner. They would be able to hit you, swap weapons, and hit you again, before your attack even gets a chance to do damage.

    Dont act like you can‘t also switch weapons with the sword. So if you miss your sword slash you can switch to sniper and snipe him. I think this is a good idea bc it will finally make the sword a skill weapon and not a no skill spam weapon. And you actually have to time you swordslash.

    @huibuh34 "If you miss you can switch to your sniper" and do what? 70 damage? You missed your sword slash, and switched weapons. You are looking at bare minimum 4-6 seconds where all you have done in terms of damage is 70, meanwhile they could have double gunned you 2-3 times over. Your idea makes no sense, and switching weapons after missing a sword attack also makes no sense. Guns and swords have different purposes.

    @potatosord ngl I totally forgot about that, but that also does benefit the sword since iirc it's unaffected by swap times in the first place. It's a tough line to draw between sneezing on someone with a blunderbomb while keeping it's damage similar. Maybe much faster for like 45 instead

    It has a charged attack…… the sword lunge, you don’t have to block to do it…..

    So add another ability to the already broken weapon…..

    Can I use the blunderbuss to help me jump higher also if I could use it to go backwards faster in the water. Also I’d like a slug for longer reach and dragons breath for more damage.
