I feel this is right place.
Since the additions of greatsword in update 7, i feel the greatsword in here has some small issue.
The issue :
1.Feel like 2H weapon normally do
My suggestions : changes the behaviour of GS for doing Vertical and Horizontal slash if repeating inputing attack button
2.Animation Recovery time is feels too fast
My Suggestion : Adding a little bit more timer in Animation Recovery (which is i leave to the devs for how much, because it related into point 3)
3.No indicator of the weights if it hard
My suggestion : Adding small shockwave and sound cue depending which is terrain got hit can help for sense the weapon is Very Heavy will yield more satisfying feels for each hit
And the shockwave can be bigger by using perks but consuming stamina in each first hit which is vertical slash. -

Mike W MergedWould be great to see a two handed swords added as a nice in between of the power and slower attach pattern of two handed maces and the speediness of one handed attacks. Perhaps they could have additional parry power and synergy with parries in the skill tree. This might mean a new section of skills would need to be added as well, or otherwise build this into what already exists.

Alkhorm MergedIt would be very great if this awesome game had some 2h swords (and the ability to wear them on back or hip)

snazy chickenI two like the idea of 2 handed swords being in the game. though I would like it if they were at DPS of the single handed sword and the single handed sword was increased dps because a some 2 handed swords like the nodachi dont swing slow like a claymore would.
this would also make the melee classes much more desirable compared to the mage build which admittedly is outclassing the other builds at the moment for its mobility and self support necromancer ability. -

Jesse MergedI'm pity that I couldn't find a Two-Handed Great Sword in such a fantasy world，so I sincerely hope to see new weapons such as two-handed great swords and spear in future updates

PogoHi, i wasnt sure if i shouId open up a new suggestion, but i decided to comment it here.
The Iongbow weapon cIass does have the same issue. It opens up a sIightIy different pIaystyIe, but IateIy there was no Iongbow added in. It is aIso mentioned in a comment of "Bow mechanics need work".
Maybe it was possibIe to merge or rename this into a suggestion incIuding generaI weapon variety and presence in the IoottabIe? -

TrentHey everyone, just wanted to add my support for two-handed swords! I think they’d be a great middle ground between the heavy two-handers and faster one-handed weapons. Some of the ideas here, like better parries or unique skill interactions, sound awesome and would add more depth to melee combat.
It’d also be cool to see something like two-handed scythes since some enemies already use them. Plus, melee could use a bit more variety compared to how mobile mage builds feel. Would love to hear if the devs are considering this! -

Small Toby MergedI would like to have 2-handed swords added to the game or some kind of option to 2-hand existing swords.
If we have the choice to two-hand a 1h sword you could do something like adding parry power equal to half of the weapon's base attack to balance it against 2h weapons and sword and board builds. It could serve as an inbetween for damage and speed between the current 1-handed moveset and dedicated 2-handed weapons (mace, axe, etc.).
I think maybe we could have a skill in the skill tree that turns it on or off. I think if it was called Highlander or something that would be really funny. -

ErgonI think that greatsword with additional attack anims, but without ability to block/parry, only dash (or vice versa, without dash, but with block/parry available) is an interesting concept and it would add diversity to playstyle.

LucaviI actually came here to suggest the addition of 2 handed swords. Everything from bastard swords to claymores to zweihanders and flamberges. There are plenty of 2 handed maces, clubs, and axes, but not a single two handed sword. Additionally, the Twin Flame Swords quest in Albaneve got me all excited as it reads like the Greater is a 2 hander and the Lesser is a 1 hander, but sadly no. The icon for the Greater even looks like it should be 2 handed.
Stats could be a mix of cutting and piercing, plus whatever other elemental types added (ice, fire, shroud, etc). -

HenrikIf 2h swords are added please have our character hold them vertical and not down and back. I want to feel like Aragaorn running into a horde!

PaulJI'm just mildly curious how come there are other 2handers, but not 2h swords. In most other games it's the other way around lol.
That said, the current combat system kinda makes this feel pointless. You're just gonna swing it the same way as the other 2h weapons. There are, what, a small handful (1 hand) of active melee skills? I feel like if they added 2h swords right now it would just feel like their art guys did the work. By the same token you could let the player pick up those chairs we can craft and swing those around as weapons. It really feels like the combat system needs that overhaul soon, because it's very one dimensional right now.
