[2022] [Focus Feedback & Bug Reporting] New Weapon: The Greatsword

Greetings Adventurers,

Have you ever dreamed of taking life by both hands? Has someone ever told you that you miss the swings you never take? Well, with this PTR release we’re introducing a new weapon: the mighty two-handed Greatsword!

Greatsword Weapon

Get ready for a new weapon — the Greatsword. This two-handed blade utilizes stances to adapt to different situations. Learn the risks and rewards of each option to survive in battle. Both Weapon Skill Trees feature versatile tactics for varied playstyles:

• The Onslaught tree embodies relentless offense and focuses on defeating enemies before they can take you out.
• The Defiance tree excels at aggressive defense that can survive and deal damage against multiple opponents.

The Greatsword scales evenly with Strength and Dexterity, making it a good pair for many other martial weapons.

Please let us know how you enjoyed this piece of content on the PTR! In particular, we’re especially keen on feedback relating to its overall sense of fun and engagement, combat balance in both Player vs Player and Player vs Environment scenarios, potential for customization and interesting builds, and any related technical issues or gameplay bugs.
