Not katana grade, but at 37 damage per 100 moves it is in \"weapons of war\" tier\r\n* Mace and morningstar get small buff to damage and move from \"OK, I guess\" to \"this is a weapon. At 34 and 33 \"dp100\" (damage per 100 moves) respectively\r\n* Diamond machete gets a damage buff. It is still one of the shittiest diamond weapons at mere 40 dp100\r\n* Diamond katana gets a giant nerf and moves from godlike tier to \"still the best melee weapon\" tier at 48 dp100\r\n* Wakizashi gets a nerf: 35 dp100\r\n* Katana gets a huge nerf and moves into a tier occupied by nodachi, rapier, broadsword and (!)diamond zwei. 40 dp100\r\n* Firekatana gets the same nerf as katana, but also weight and volume reduction. It is still a downgrade to katana at 37 dp100\r\n* Zwei and firezwei get small buff to damage. Both are still barely in \"weapons of war\" at 34 dp100\r\n* Fire axe gets a minor buff that makes it 29 dp100\r\n* Battle axe gets a GIANT buff that moves it from \"below the scale, why would you use that over your fists\" to \"weapons of war\". 36 dp100\r\n* Survivor machete gets a moderate nerf. It's just a machete with a bunch of duct tape, it deserves less than what it has. 36 dp100\r\n* Diamond zwei gets the small zwei buff and then some. Worst \"big\" diamond weapon at 40 dp100\r\n* Diamond nodachi gets a moderate nerf. 45 dp100\r\n\r\nHow did I decide what to nerf/buff:\r\n* The most important was obviously damage per moves. While very low damage per very low time could look much more useful on paper than in game (due to semi-rare armored enemies), no weapon should be the master of all trades. Looking at you, katana.\r\n* RAPID technique was assumed to be used all the time where available. No other techniques considered. Most of them are either too situational (AoE, brutal strike), too unimportant (block) or didn't appear on the powerful weapons (reach)\r\n* A tiny bit of realism. Battle axe is an axe made for battle, not a giant double blade monstrosity for barbarian cosplay.\r\n* Tried to get diamond weapons close to 45 dp100 and \"weapons of war\" to 35-40 dp100 range\r\n* Assumed 5 in all skills. At lower skills, cutting weapons would be better. At higher levels bashing ones get devastating crits, but this requires good accuracy.\r\n* Assumed 0 dexterity and low encumbrance. Good dexterity would help with fast weapons more, encumbrance would hurt fast weapons more, but most of the weapons keep their tiers at dexterity 20 and at move penalty to encumbrance around 40\r\n* Assumed \"unlimited\" strength (ie. enough to get full bashing damage). This mace/morningstar buff doesn't actually make them good, just makes it possible for them to be good.\r\n* Assumed no stuck penalty. Katanas don't get stuck, broadswords, rapiers and war hammers might.\r\n* Didn't consider Niten (nor any other MAs). Otherwise I'd nerf that katana even more, because kataniten is still nearly a total no-brainer if you can get both of them on one dude.\r\n* Out of the powerful weapons, broadsword and rapier both have +1 to_hit compared to katanas, battle axes etc. They may deserve a nerf because of that - I wasn't sure so I didn't give it to them, though.\r\n\r\nTrivia:\r\n* Highest dp100 is now combat chainsaw (on) at 48, but it has -4 to_hit making it quite useless\r\n* Fire weapons suck. No reason to nerf own sword with that extra weight and volume.\r\n* Chainsaw weapons suck. WH40K can't stop here, this is weeb country\r\n* Vacuum packed meat slice makes a comparable weapon to a hammer.
