Bone Sword vs Yamazaru/Jakuma


Clayman

Question

Bone Sword was the fastest sword in the game until more recently when other swords got added.
What made Bone Sword managable to fight against was the fact that even though it had the fastest speed out of all the swords, it had the lowest ratio of base damage to STR requirement.

Damage of the sword per STR required:
Bone Sword: 0.33(lowest)
Religious Katana: 0.37
Shirokata: 0.39
Bandit blade: 0.38
Crystal Sword: 0.35
Blood Katana: 0.41


Suddenly we are getting a sword like Yamazaru, which has the same attack speed as Bone Sword but the base damage of the sword per STR required is higher than any sword in the game until now. It has 55 base damage and 120 STR requirement which leads us 0.46 base damage per STR required which is astronomically high for a sword that is the same speed and rarity as Bone Sword. I understand that it needs to be stronger due to the higher level and STR requirement, but being this much stronger is simply an overkill.

Jakuma is even worse since it needs only 100 STR and 40 chakra, chakra is an universal stat so that requirement basically doesn't hinder you in any way. 

I think these swords need to get rebalanced further since their balance is completely off charts compared to anything that was in the game so far. Swords with Bone Sword speed are having the same base damage like Asarihanma which has 2.5-3 second attack speed, it simply doesn't make much sense.

I think the sword are fine.  Level 60 endgame weapon with the boss locked behind a grindy questline. No need to make the sword a reskin of previous sword.

Level cap is meant to be 100 at some point, so this is nowhere near being an end game weapon. There are ways to balance the weapons in which they are better but not broken.

Yamazaru is a strong sword. It's the best in slot weapon for Pure wm. As it should be, 120 str req, end game boss weapon drop, lvl 59 req. It SHOULD be stronger than all other swords by a considerable difference and it does it well.

This argument is null and void as at this time it is an end game weapon, you cannot make arguments about hypothetical situations.
