I've been around a short while... and only just got the 2nd to last bit of 4* stuff.

My main sword happens to be a Jalovec, and I know there are some stuff with it that doesn't quite make it worthwhile to use: Its slow, and deals less damage. then a sealed sword version.

But what really irks me is I'm in the middle of a swing, some creature attacks me, and the WHOLE swing is canceled, right before hitting them. The second bother that I have, is the interruption on these swords... Basically, it sucks. It needs to knockdown any average sized monster on the second hit, no matter the party size.

Think of it like this: If you actually manage to pick up and swing a sword that is Bigger then you, I don't think getting jabbed in the ribs is going to stop all of that momentum, or that all that momentum wouldn't knock over just about anything.

My Ideas to fix this problem are as follows.

Make the part of the attack that deals damage do it muuuch faster. And make the rest of the time "Recoil" time. This would make the swings actually execute faster then a sealed sword, but have some time where you're vulnerable. (Like an autogun) The DPS and such wouldn't be touched seeing as it would take the same time to use the combo.

The issue with the knockdown might be solved by giving the last hit more of a punch, if damage has anything to do with it... like some threads I've read.
I think that adding 120~ damage at the last depth, on the 5*, on the last swing, should give it enough kick to knock things down.

Also, I find it odd that the sword is Very big, but the shadow thing that follows it and indicated movement does not go all the way to the hilt... It would look nice if you fixed that.

Hrrmmm... I think this is a good first post.
