What Is The Point Of Longswords?

[ShupFace]

My understanding of longswords (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that they hit one target per swing. If that is the case, then why don't they do more damage?

The sharp end of the blade.

I believe DE have said they noticed the love longswords need, so I'm guessing they'll work on it after the damage rework. But for now we have Dakra Prime.

Its the stabby bit...

I'd change the title to something like "What's the point with Melee in general?", but I am under a flawed impression that melee is absolutely useless at later levels. Useful for slingshotting yourself across the room though.

I remember people suggesting that DE should make longswords exceptional at blocking in order to give them a niece role. 

[kiwicanfly]

to gain mastery points of cause XD

 

but yea,  melee in general needs a buff.

Ether Longsword is one of the better longswords until you can find a Dakra Prime.

Machete wraith is currently the best long sword at the moment since it can utilize both charge and melee spam builds (it rivals Dark sword in charged factor and bests out the Ether sword in serrated blade slashy dps).... And with a small AOE.

 

But that's about it.

at the very end of the blade is the tip
