From the looks and descriptions of the these weapons it seems like it would be a good choice if debuff mechanics are explored.

PS/backround: this idea came about after some debate on how to fix "specialist and normal weapons"(cold iron carver, amputator etc) and we came up with an ideas of

--- To make almost all pure normal damage weapons except the blast bomb line ( no inherent damage bonus) have slight chances of stunning to varying degrees( leviathan blade would be minor and sudaruska would have strong stun)-(I personally feel that might be a bit crazy but it was a idea that was tossed around)-

---make specialist weapons do something odd, mostly debuffs,3 ideas for charge attacks we came up with were
-the cold iron vanquisher would inflict a slow debuff and wrap the enemy in chains

-the amputator line would make the knight lunge forward with the sword pointed in front skewering/sawing enemies before one last explosion, this would probably be done by basically applying the brandishes explosion hit box and having a invisible vortex bomb effect moving in front of the player on the sword during this attack. ( downside: think this is overkill and could put the player in danger by hindering the brandishes ability to kite and basically strapping the enemies in front of you to you, upside: basically only looking cool and dragging enemies somewhere else while being mauled by the enemy)

-the Winmillion idea that was had was to have the energy bolt have a chance to stun and carry enemies away with the previously mentioned invisible vortex bomb effect

Any further Ideas to help fix the specialist weapons would be nice to hear
