The ES is really good (in General)

I traded it in for my MH a little while back and gained some pretty good additions to my fight list.

The bleed rocks. Especially against teams that use PL to protect their damage dealer. It stacks up pretty fast.

I also like that it is a 1h weapon so I can rock that shield and have a pretty good bth to boot.

I'm going to start an ES fan club at this rate.

Count me in on the fan club!

I forgot the part where it ignores 50% of ac and end. What is the point of the vorpal blade anyways?

No idea, the VB should get 100% armor pen or the ES should have some of its strengths cut back.

Either-way, ES is easily the strongest weapon in the game at the moment.

Cutting back the ES base or bleeding damage is probably the way to go. If you buff the VB in that manner suddenly every other weapon needs a bit of help to compete.

I wouldn't mind seeing that. Melee physical damage is super weak in this game. Only reason ES is any good is due to the bleed.

The ES could have made a good supporter item when it came out, too bad.

I'd say drop the bleed damage down to 5% on the ES and give a 15% bleed to the VB. That way you have a powerful supporter item that is actually rare and then a more common weapon which is still usable for new players and easily obtained.

And while we are on the topic of melee weapons they should all get a nice boost of 10-20 base damage, since they do suck, except the VB and ES.

Tal! Get in here and make some changes with those new admin powers ;)

From my understanding, admins can not make game changes. Only ones who have access to that code is NS and John.
