Swashbucklers were already pretty horrible vs merc/barb.

Now they'll probably be useless vs merc/barbs.

It is obvious that Dulrik just hates the swashbuckler class.

They obviously need like.

A buff to Finesse and Riposte. Remove the +damage on taunt. Heck. Give the other person a big decrease to accuracy.

A way to actually..do damage. Most swashies rock like epee/epee on defensive, because they will get murdered if they do like no-dachi/kama and go aggro.

Some sort of...Enhanced Dodge and like. Masterful Parry skill.

I suggest they get the skill, "die horribly." That's all they're going to do in PvP right now anyway.

I actually love swashies so much that I come up with complicated plans to make them better and then never find time to implement them. Then later on after I've forgotten the original plan, I come up with another complicated plan. Rinse and repeat. Swashies are the new bards.

Speaking of bards, please remove the offensive action on a successful persuasion.

Great update D! One thing I think should be added...warhammers to massive weapon list. Aren't they suppose to be heavy as hell and hurt like a mofo? I'd actually look at upping their damage output a little too compared to other weapons.

What!? No.

Hurt like a mofo, yes. Devastating especially against armor.

The warhammer was designed to maximize impact while having more reach and less weight than a mace or axe. Warhammers were very lightweight, despite modern misapprehensions, and weighed less than most swords of the day.

After hopping around Google for a little bit I found a cool page called The Zombie Survival Wiki which surprising had the most complete information I could find on the subject. War-hammers were essentially a modified design of your standard hammer (see pictures in link.) You're looking at something that ranges from the size of a small sword to a small pole-arm.

Indeed, warhammer is not a "massive" weapon

Landschnekt seems like it could be considered a massive weapon but would likely make that weapon way too powerful.
