The sword is overall faster, but has a longer charge time to compensate. Additionally, to accommodate for the faster speed, the base damage is lower. However, the charge damage bonus is also higher, offsetting the lower base damage. TL;DR: uncharged and partial charged attacks are faster but weaker, and fully charged attacks should feel largely the same. Counter Attacks Several weapons had mismatched hit traces on some of their counter attacks. Man-At-Arms Halberd: Right Counter Attack: Changed from a Thrust to a Leftward Slash Gestirs Spear: Forward Counter Attack: Changed from an Overhead to a Thrust Left Counter Attack: Changed from a Rightward Slash to a Thrust There was no reason for the Spear, a thrusting weapon, to have 2 randomly non-thrusting counter attacks. Bondis Seax: Left Counter Attack: Changed from a Leftward Slash to a Rightward Slash Right Counter Attack: Changed from a Rightward Slash to a Leftward Slash These traces were being generated in the wrong direction. Berserkers Big Axe: Left Counter Attack: Changed from a Thrust to a Rightward Slash Right Counter Attack: Changed from an Overhead to a Leftward Slash The right counter attacks animation was changed as well.
