Hi everybody.
First of all, sorry for my english, I'm spanish.
I recently "upgrade" a Dark Thorn Blade into a Barbarous Thorn Blade, and it must be bugged, because the slashing damage has been SLIGHTLY increased at a cost of a HALF of the proyectile damage of spines in a charge attack... I have tested it a lot, and there is no error there, the total damage done in the charge attack is HARDLY decreased because of that, and there is no reason why a 5stars sword should be WORSE than the previous 4stars version.
I don't really understand why I expend 800 energy, 5000 crowns and some expensive mats to make a worse weapon than I have before. Please, Can you explain me what's the benefit on "upgrade" that sword over the Dark Thorn Blade?
If the porpouse of upgrading a weapon to the top 5 stars version is to get the max damage and effect of the weapon stats, the lowered spine damage from Dark Thorn to Barbarous Thorn cannot be anything but a bug, and I expect that it's going to be fixed because, if the wiki agree on my damage apreciation (the damage table unfortunately haven't exist when I last checked the wiki)... what's the problem? The Barbarous Thorn Blade is intentionally worse than the Dark Thorn Blade and I have been pranked? Because the time waste is really big.
I have reported this ingame, and I asked for assistance ingame too. The GM that contacted me have agreed that must be a weapon malfunction and tell me this: "Thank you for your report. This does look like it may not be working properly. I have forwarded this to the devs to look at as it. Sorry for the inconvenience."
If anybody can explain me if this is a bug indeed or anything else I will be really gratefull, I don't understand what's going on :S
Thanks for your time.

so youre saying that your new sword does less damage then the 4* version of it? if so, waz your dark thorn blade level ten when u upgraded it? because is it was, when u upgrade a level 10 weapon, the new weaponat level one does slightly less damage at first. hoever, the more u level it up, the more damage it does. so just level it up and it should get better.
