I don't know why NIN3 want to buff the perk,maybe it is because the pick rate of this perk is low.I do agree about buffing it in skirmish mode.But i have to say,after buffed,this perk will make vlandia even more op in TDM and siege mode.
If i pick better armor and two handed sword perk at the same time,it means i can get 55 armor and a long,fast,maneuverable and a high damage 2 handed sword and a good shield and a long sword which will be buffed too.Also,with +5% movement speed, I have 84 movement speed in total.It means I have the best armor,fastest movement speed and a full set of weapons at a same time,but only cost me 150$ in casual mode.Don't forget vlandia still have cheap peasant and looter perk,it will be still easy to earn 150$.
Imagine you are playing sergeant after 1.7.2 patch is released:
1.When facing peasant,it easy to kill them in 1 hit with 2 handed sword,also most of the peasants'weapons can't make enough damage on you,you are unstoppable.
2.When facing 2 hand inf,you run faster in combat(most 2 hand inf only get +5\7% maximum movement speed,which means this perk doesn't when you are in fight).Although it is hurt when they hit you, you can still easily control the distance to avoid getting hit and kill them with your faster and longer 2h sword.
3.When facing other heavy inf,if they pick better armor,you have the advantage because they can only use 1 handed sword but you get the 2 handed one;if they use axe and mace,which means they have lower armor than you,you still can product same or higher damage with the 2 handed sword.Also remember that you have the same or better movement speed and best armor.
4.When facing ranged weapons,you have the shield.
5.When facing cav,you have the shield and long 2 handed sword which can stab and stop the horse.
So,this buff will make sergeant totally almighty in TDM and siege.Imagine what players will do? Just all vlandia players use the sergeant and they will be unstoppable in TDM and siege,they are anti-everything.This reminds me of old version when all 2 hand inf were cheap,fast running and high damage,every just use 2 hand inf and game became...it didn't boring actually,because every faction was usable.BUT NOW,only vlandia will get the best and overpowered class,what will the game played liked?Every round with vlandia?Or even worse,someone vote the weakest faction but play vlandia again and again?Many of the changes looks good in the 1.7.2 patch on paper,but I still really hope TW could think twice before buffing two handed sword perk of the sergeant in TDM AND SIEGE.
