Well, I always knew Two-Handed Weapons were kinda broken due to the range/damage ratio [No 2h in the world should be able to deal 75+ dmg to a fully armored heavy inf], but now with 1.6.0 and the duel mode being released, it just became even more obvious. Some Two-Handers, such as the Great Axe, that the Berserker has or the Bastard Sword for the Vlandians need to be nerfed! At this moment, a Bastard Sword of a Vlandian Sergeant will kill any Heavy Infantry with 2 well-placed hits or 3 random hits, is longer than any 1h weapon in the game and has a faster swing speed than any decent 1h.
So it's basically 1h = Decent damage, decent speed, decent range
2h = Better damage, better speed, better range
While I totally support that Two-Handers should deal more damage and should be a bit longer, they should NEVER be faster than One-Handed Weapons, which is the case right now.
The speed that, for example, the Great Sword in Warband had was perfect, because while you did have a range and damage advantage over most 1h weapons, the speed made it kinda balanced. On Bannerlord, due to the sometimes quite ridiculous angles a weapon can hit you from, you will always have the disadvantage as a 1h player.
A semi-decent player, who knows how to spam, will be able to beat pretty much anyone [except maybe the absolute sweats, which make up like 2% of the community] due to the speed of the weapon. I just tried out 1h vs. 2h speed on the duel server, and in the time I was able to swing once, a friend of mine who was using a 2h, swung almost 3 times. I am factoring in physics of course, but even with the proper angle, the 2h is still faster than the 1h, which should not be the case, and would certainly have not been the case irl.
So for the love of butter, pleaaaase fix the swing speed of 2h weapons, cuz whats the point of people duelling, if the majority is using totally overpowered 2h weapons, that let even the newest of player land a few hits on Warband- and/or Bannerlord-Vets?
P.S.: Duel Mode is fun tho... I am wasting my life on it rn!
