Everybody literally hates it. The speed stats on the Sealed Sword/DA/GF are the exact same as the Troika/Grintovec/Kamarin/Kharavod/Jalovec/Sudaruska/Triglav. I'm not kidding. Go even check. Wiki >> Swords >> scroll down until you can get a good comparison of Triglav/Sudaruska and Divine Avenger/Gran Faust. Notice the speed similarity? While in-game, they both are obviously different speed rates. This is a bad bug and I think it should be fixed along with the Sprites update.
Please correct the Troika vs. Sealed Sword error

"parison of Triglav/Sudaruska and Divine Avenger/Gran Faust. Notice the speed similarity?"
Gran Faust vs Suda/Trig?
Notice how Gran Faust has speed stats on par with medium speed swords? It actually is no faster than Divine Avenger, and maybe even a bit slower. That's a worse mistake than Troika line having the same speed stats with the Sealed Sword line.
Nobody have a reason to hate this. Sealed Sword leads to two swords with hybrid damage, while Troika leads to two swords with pure normal damage+freeze/stun. If you want an elemental heavy sword, you go for Divine Avenger. If you want a normal heavy sword with stun, you go for Sudaruska. Troika swings too slow? You don't get a heavy normal sword. The decisive factor is not attack speed, but rather the damage types.
Besides, the Troika line doesn't feel different from Sealed Sword line at all. It sure swings a bit slower, but someone who can handle Gran Faust should have no problems with a Triglav.

There are 3 ways of proceeding:
Slow down sealed.
Speed up troikas.
Leave both. Fix the bars.

OR
No speed bars; problem solved.

How about removing bars altogether? Because, you know, there are several errors in them and they generally fool people who bother with them. See this thread: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/81094

Speed up troika, or at least
Speed up troika, or at least extend its range. Either one would fix it.
Also... why does OOO not change the speed stat bar for gran faust?
Hmm. Slow the Sealed Sword down to Troika speed? That'd be nice.
