Quick fang (Hunter exclusive sword) longer lunge?
I've yet to really use any other sword in the game, so some feedback from other players would be appreciated.
That said, does anyone else think Quick Fang could benefit from a slightly longer lunge range for it's "special" or "power" attack? I'm not talking D1 Stormcaller range or anything, but a slightly longer distance where you can lunge to stab something/someone would really add to the effect that this is something a super swift ninja like character would use.

1 ReplyI have all three classes leveled to about 290. The Hunter is extremely dangerous with the sword already. No upgrade is necessary.

3 RepliesNo thanks. We don't need any more tools crouching in corners with their swords in crucible.

3 RepliesEdited by Vortx4: 10/11/2017 3:52:31 AMCould someone tell me what quickfang actually does? Eternities edge has Whirlwind blade, and unlimited block. The Titan one (forgot the name) has the mini FoH. Quickfang...makes you run faster and look like that one Fifth grader form the hallway while doing it? Oh, and doesn't it also have terrible blocking capabilities or something?

Jump and melee has more range

7 RepliesEdited by Ethan: 10/9/2017 11:49:14 AMNo because it makes you move fast and attacks faster so you should be able to close the gap already without having a longer lunge attack

2 RepliesThe thing is that the quickfang isnt meant to have a lot of range, in fact it has the shortest range of all swords (mainly becauae it is the shortest sword), however that short range is balanced out by its incredibly fast attack speed. This is meant to work in tandem with its main perk, which gives you a 15% damage boost and a speed boost for 1.5 seconds after drawing the sword (there is a 1.5 second cooldown on this perk after putting the sword away). This means that the sword is not meant to be used to just draw as you walk into a room and begin clear all mods (though it still can be used that way since it is a power weapon). Instead you are to close the gap with your gun and then draw the sword once close to a stronger enemy, then draw the sword and destroy that enemy extremely fast, the damage bonus makes quick work of higher health enemies, and the speed boost makes it difficult for the enemy to get away (or easy to move onto the next enemy before the boost runs out). Extending its range would make it far to powerful with its perk, and would then lead to a lowering of its attack speed in order to balance it out again with all the other swords. However if its attack speed were lowered then you couldnt take full advantage of its amazing perk (you would have less swings in that 1.5 seconds). In general it is perfectly balanced as is, and messing with it would lead to it becoming either over or underpowered.

2 RepliesSwords in general need a buff. Both to hit detection and lunge rate. Swords max strike distance should be OUTSIDE melee range of all players. Sword hit detection and lunge direction seems random at times. Especially while in the air. If I need to get to melee range with a power weapon to use it, it better hit once I'm there.

the dash attack is pointless rn

I agree they need better lunge, but one thing i like with the Hunter sword is that a heavy attack midair will cancel all fall damage if done just above the ground
-
I get frequent team wipes with it so I think it's fine but the range can be misleading. You just have to learn the range

2 RepliesHave you prayed to the Anime Gods? That increases your lunge distance.

No. It's an amazing sword

1 ReplyIt's actually pretty good for PvP as is. There have been plenty of moments where it's helped me close the distance and kill the enemy before they could kill me.

Won a game with a 16:0 KD with only a sword!! It was so fun and I can't wait to try it again!! Crown splitter is also fun for slamming down from above and killing multiple enemies with the AOE damage. I have killed 3 people at once with that sword!

Edited by G0lden Hunt3r: 10/8/2017 3:43:11 PMThat moment when a melee attack with your hand has longer reach than a 1 meter katana blade. (눈_눈) They should give us exotic versions. Quickfang exotic. Recharges half your dodge ability on a kill and increases movemt speed for 3-4 seconds. Titan sword exotic. Recharges half your melee ability and half your barricade on a kill. Warlock sword exotic. Recharges half of your grenade ability and 5% of your super ability on a sword kill.

The problem is that it isn't even a lunge, its just a spin slash with slightly more range than a normal swipe. It should be made a proper stabbing lunge with a little more range and damage. The balanced sword uppercut completely outshines it

1 ReplyI accidentally deleted the sword, not knowing it was a special sword. Is there any way to get it back now?

I prefer Complex Solution.
