Don’t worry everyone. I threw the falchions on the ground the next round and played with a gray longsword. We longsword bros for life! Have a merry Christmas and happy holidays if I don’t get another video out before then!
Fun fact: although falchions in video games are often portrayed as the big, heavy hitting cleaver when compared to swords with thin profiles, historically falchions were actually as light or lighter than traditionally shaped blades due to being very thin. Thus, they weren't heavy choppers, but were actually quite nimble slashing weapons. Bonus fact: falchions in real life didn't have bullshit phantom range
It's always funny seeing it portrayed as the "Armor Sundering Axe Sword" when in reality it was more the anti peasant cleaver. Soft Armor users, beware the knightly razor blade.
Would love to see it be lower damage and slightly faster rather than hitting like a literal truck. It already is too fast for the damage it carries. Comparing number to number for windup/attack frames the falchion is literally the best weapon in the game.
@@oggieson Sadly in most people's minds the broad blade = big chops and they think it more like an axe when it's supposed to be a fast razor blade, not very good efficient against metal armor. Ironically the functions of the falchion and the arming sword in game should be reversed.
The trick with the shield and archers is to continue holding Right click but dip your mouse low so you can see if skele archer is loading up another arrow --- if not, you're good to swing
Oggi!!!! Did you see the recent patch notes? We are finally starting to get the respect that we longsword people deserve. We held the line for D&D shd now we do it for the longsword. 😂🎉🎉🎉
@@oggieson i don't understand how you prio loot though. You don't seem to pick up things that are really really good to save up in case you lose your kit
Shame that Wizard Cleric is basically required- I’d love to play some Fighter but one of my friends refuses to play anything but Rogue so I have to play Cleric or Wizard
You’re the man for playing what y’all need tho buddy. Our boy Ridio ended up in the cleric role and owned it and makes some fun content using it. I’m the degenerate of the group making it hard for us playing longsword all the time lol
I agree. Longsword buff was a good step for the weapon as well. I think the more damage, even if it's slight, will eventually lead to the riposte nerf the weapon needs so they can add some more viability to the left click attacks.
Was feeling a little betrayed when I first seen the video title, lol. Was happy to see the disclaimer at the beginning and your comment. All that aside, this was an eye opener. I see why other classes like to say fighter mains have room temp IQ because this game play is so lacking in skill compared to what I'm used to with longsword. It really is just hold 'W' and left click, it makes me want to cry. Its criminal that falchion is the best weapon for fighter by miles, without argument. Our class has access to more options for melee weapons than any other class in the game. But if you want to be competitive in highroller, myself and many other fighters agree that you are forced to play falchion and heater shield or halberd. When was the last time fighters had a change that was cause for excitement? I've been reading all the patch notes since release and I can't think of anything that jumped out at me as an exciting update for fighter class. This class desperately needs some love and longsword playstyle more so than anything else. I'm confident our pleas will one day be answered, but how long do we have to wait? P.S. If you ever need some more grey longswords hit me up Oggie, I've stacks and stacks of em. They'll just be sitting in my stash because I'm gonna be playing Hunt: Showdown until I find it in myself to forgive Ironmace.
I’m still gonna drag you along to parry wraiths some time dude! Just not a lotta time to get on properly around the holiday right now lol And I agree. SnS is just completely brain dead feeling on here compared to longsword. I have a couple raids playing it solo and 1v3 that I’m tempted to make a video on since it’s insanely easier to just perfect space people with falchion and win through spacing and stat checking when you get the advantage…
yeaa falchion is really powerful on fighter but what sucks is that what else are you gonna use besides arming sword? it sucks that a class like fighter is so restrictive on how you are meant to play in order to just compate with everyone else. Hope the let fighter be viable with other weapons in all gear settings because I dont like being force using the "BIS" or struggle like hell to exist
“Please lord let not my longsword rust in the swarm anymore after the wizards that kill me don’t loot it cuz it’s worthless to all but me and my longsword brothers. Let us have glorious combat instead of derpy magic balls!”
I think for the 1h meta, everythings gone awry. Viking sword and Horsemans don't really have the greatest DPS out put because of theirs swing speed and most of the time you never see Arming Sword unless someone's stacking armor pen and slayer... Despite Falchion hitting harder Arming has a faster swing speed but people still prefer it because the weapon damage balancing is all whacky?! People usually just throw Horsemans and Viking on the floor, and I can't main longsword because I'm not good at predicting but reacting... So flicking my block to the hilt to parry a Falchion hit is almost like blocking a Marth tipper....
I agree man. The 1h meta is stale af. Looking at coming especially I feel falchion shouldn’t have more damage than that weapon when it carries better reach and better attack speed like jeez.
I just want less MS negative and slightly faster attack speed on the longsword, there is nothing more infuriating than getting 1 or two big hits on someone only for them to be able to backpedal away to be blasted by a cleric faster than you can walk forwards, because you have a dexterity based 2 handed weapon. I feel like -30 ms, maybe even -25, would feel ALOT better... In reality a longsword is not a heavy weapon, and a falchion/shield would limit your movement just as much...
Lol. I don't trade anything dude. Ever. I have no time for the damn trade chat and I won't ever use an off game discord to trade either. So I don't care usually about what I loot unless I plan on using the item or giving it to the boys. Like the plate pants went to Ridio, but he didn't have space to loot them this run either.
Dude that fight with the bard was weird. It looks like you totally killed him and then he came back? Some kind of desync? Also you didn't pop second wind even though you were so low
I am the literal king of greedily holding my second wind lol. It’s one of my worst flaws in the game Also yes I completely thought I killed the bard as well. Surprised me big time in the moment that he wasn’t dead
I'm not sure about your logic here lol. I've used longsword at 22 dex and it's atrocious compared to falchion. Which means at 15 dex falchion would still feel insanely good compared to longsword. 22 dex is about 4.6% action speed or some such. It's an incredibly bad stat as well so 22 in dex is pretty worthless from my testing. Falchion first attack windup = 683ms and attack time is 133ms = 816ms from start to completion Longsword = 932 windup and attack 229 = 1161ms. Far worse with near similar damage and range. Viking sword = 793 windup and attack 113 = 906ms with far worse damage and far worse range Both maces carry slower windup, attack, range, and damage (even with armor pen) I'm sure I don't need to give you more stats at this point. Falchion is absolutely so overtuned just by the stats compared to other weapons, both 1h and 2h, it's insane. Falchion is digustingly good especially comparing single hit trading which a lot of the game revolves around with spacing.

@@zellarcher Indeed, it should have lower damage than arming sword, but swing quicker.
they also arnt as big

Once again IronHammer has blessed us with a Longsword buff, MORE DAMAGE LESS WEIGHT PRAISE THE IRON HAMMER
Big changes

I am 100% sure you manifested the longsword buffs with this video, praise be

Sword/Board, and a crossbow. Oggie has joined the dark side 😈
I offered the entire kit to the swarm to repent for my actions in this video. Longsword bros rise up!
@@oggieson oh the hummannnitttyyyyy lol
How would a cleric or wiz need those loose pants? Great for barb, rogue or slayer. Probably would get 3 ingots for it as well.
Lol both of those guys play Barb and rogue as well

welp, the patch notes are up and we got a longsword movement and damage buff. hooray
W for buffs. Don’t think it needed damage but the movespeed change is super amazing lol
Longsword buff today is a huge W, but falchion wasnt touched unfortunately, falch needs a slight reach nerf and a slight damage nerf.
I agree. Longsword buff was a good step for the weapon as well. I think the more damage, even if it's slight, will eventually lead to the riposte nerf the weapon needs so they can add some more viability to the left click attacks.

It is pretty goofy the disparity between weapon options fighter has agreed
u changed.
Momentary lack of clarity in my decision making. Longsword for life! Lol
@@oggieson haha just messing around keep longswording my brother in steel!
Fresh hotfix today. Please pray brothers, for a longsword buff or at least a more forgiving meta 🙏
“Please lord let not my longsword rust in the swarm anymore after the wizards that kill me don’t loot it cuz it’s worthless to all but me and my longsword brothers. Let us have glorious combat instead of derpy magic balls!”

The problem lies that fighter struggles enough already against a lot of classes, so falchion is typically the only counterplay
For sure. Falchion is carrying fighter right now in quite a few ways
@@oggieson So does a purple crossbow to the face that can almost one shot ya. #shitbalancing
Are you enjoying the new buffs!@@oggieson
Have you seen the patch note? Longsword will be buffed!!!
-30 MS on the LONGSWORD NOW BAAAYBEEEE
Woooo
I just want less MS negative and slightly faster attack speed on the longsword, there is nothing more infuriating than getting 1 or two big hits on someone only for them to be able to backpedal away to be blasted by a cleric faster than you can walk forwards, because you have a dexterity based 2 handed weapon.

Just those changes along would be insanely benefitting to longsword
Why would you save a blue falch that is mid but not take the super good heavy leather legs that could be worth a key?
And you take 5 magi power plate pants that is worse than the heavy leather for you. Those would be 100% better on your cleric.
Lol. I don't trade anything dude. Ever. I have no time for the damn trade chat and I won't ever use an off game discord to trade either.

How could you... I looked up to you as my mentor :(. Everything Ive learned was because of you.
Don’t worry it was all a dream. Or a nightmare xD. You’ll wake up to a nice longsword video for Christmas if all goes right lol
It's a fever dream you're experiencing.
ur so real for the title T_T
They were not happy losing cuz of longsword randomness :((
my guy youre complaining about falchion swing speed with a 22 Dex.
every weapon feels fast when youre used to bardiche and longsword
I'm not sure about your logic here lol. I've used longsword at 22 dex and it's atrocious compared to falchion. Which means at 15 dex falchion would still feel insanely good compared to longsword. 22 dex is about 4.6% action speed or some such.

I'm sure I don't need to give you more stats at this point. Falchion is absolutely so overtuned just by the stats compared to other weapons, both 1h and 2h, it's insane. Falchion is digustingly good especially comparing single hit trading which a lot of the game revolves around with spacing.
Funny that you fkn say buff long sword
Manifested a longsword buff lol
I really hate how its falchion or nothing, the rest of fighters weapons suck. They need to buff the weaker weapons especially the 2 handed ones
Hopefully they'll make some changes to falchion in the future. Even with the recent patch I don't think falchion is dethroned at all sadly.
You’ve become the very thing you swore to destroy….
Making bad life decisions out here
Good rp.
🙄
This weapon is such a balance crutch, forget balancing the game, just give the class a Falchion and it should work itself out.
