i would like to see at least 1 longer 1 handed sword. A sword that can be dual wielded and used together with a shield. Spears are very nice, becuase you can use them in a specific angel to confuse the opponent. A new Player have hard times to read if you make a right or mid attack, if you use the Spear with both hands. The benefit of the Spear is, that you can also wield it 1 handed, together with a shield, if someone shoots arrows at you and deequip the shield, if you want to finish someone off in a 1 vs 1 Situation. I think the Spear need to get a piercing overhead attack, but only if used with both hands, becuase this would be too powerful together with a shield.
If you are a swords user, you would have to craft 2 weapons and it take too long time to equip another weapon and then a shield. I don´t like this at all, and i don´t have enough Skillpoints to skill Swords and Spears.
With a 1 handed Sword you should be possible to jump further, to get a bit more range. A jumping Overhead would be nice. I loved to play the Alvarin, becuase you could jump out of range of the counterparry attack, or get a bit more range with your overhead, if you jump towards the opponent, but the Stamina consumption have been increased a lot, so this is no viable option anymore.
Another Idea would be that we deal full combo Swing Damage, if we cancel a fully charged Swing into an attack from another direction. We shoudl get this faster Windup Animation, if we feint a charged Swing into another attack. That would improve the combat. Players shoudl rather feint a fully charged Swing, sinstead of hitting the ground to get a faster Windup Animation.
