Korasi's Sword: is it Balanced?

Is Korasi's sword balanced?

 

With near if not actual 100% accuracy and high hits, is it a reasonable reward for a relatively low-level grandmaster quest?

 

Does it destroy certain elements of PvP for you?

With dragons claws already around, it's say no. The max hit is lower, and so i'm guessing is the potential for a KO(only one spec in a row). The only way i can see the spec being overpowered is when you consider claws+KS+vigour for KS+claw spec in a row, but that's quite extreme.

Dragon Claws -> Korasi rushing might be overpowered, if Protect from melee doesn't affect the special of Korasi sword. Could down Dhers too, I guess

It's good fun at tds if you can spec over 300 with ease, as you can then continue meleeing (saves a helmet switch if using void). Other than that I think it has a (far) lower max, but higher accuracy than claws, and requires 78 atk/str to obtain. I think it's only useful for chaotic pures because of that level, and it protects over chaotic weapons. In safe pvp, the spec would change stuff I suppose.

i don't really pvp, so i can't say anything about its effects there

 

however in pvm, i'd hardly call it game breaking. claws average higher, so really the only circumstances where you would use it is if you don't want to risk a 30m pair of claws

How does the spec work in clanwars? Does it hit 3 opponents? If it does, its a nice way to open up the fight and decimate some of your opponents :D

What it does it hit one opponent at full damage, call it x. The second opponent gets hit for x/2. A third gets hit for x/4.

Hey there lil' Timmy I'm gunna' contribute some Algebra2 into your silly little Thread for ya', mkey?

D2H + Whip = Your weakass little GrandMaster'dEd Sword.

 

The only good part of this Sword is it's Special.

All else fails.

1. "My ear's in a cup, I guess that doesn't count..."

2. "So heyyy, that's a pretty reasonable reaction huh?"

3. "So you up for NAFTA?"

4. "That went exactly how I wanted it to."

Wait its initial hit lowers if it is in multi? sad

 

Well, the initial damage it does to your first opponent doesn't, but to the second and third, yes.

 

It's like claws.

Just being wrong isn't considered an effective method of trolling.

Well duh, the spec is what people are talking about :rolleyes:

 

And why would you even mention the D2h, that sword is, and has always been, crap....

DUDE NO WAY

 

Good analogy, though.

I used to have this idea that the d2h might be a good spec weapon for multi tasks. It wasn't. :P I'd like to try Korasi's sword in the same scenarios. I think that'd be fun.

 

As far as balancing, it's hard to say. It's super easy to get, which I think is a problem. I don't really know how dangerous it is, but I read on another thread that it's the bane of Dharokers in pvp.

I said the part about Dharokers, but I haven't actually tested it. It just makes sense! ;)

 

I think it's rather okay for how it is now, or actually, if they made it degrade or cost something to use the special, it probably wouldn't be worth it!

To be honest, they should have made it a drop from a new boss monster in the chamber there with the giant turtle after the quest.

Single combat spec hits very hard. I have hit up to 58. But the multi combat spec hits around 20-30, and then second spec will be half that, and third spec half of second spec. So it's balanced.

That's true. It's balanced for sure.
