Hello all!
Can we make a change in order for the fan to hit Normally from the horse like bells do? Is that even possible? Fan usage on horses is currently about 50% slower if not more and only hits straight. I think all can agree it is unusable. This change will not have any effect on PvP (like when buffing or nerfing raw stats) since horse is restricted anyway and it'll only allow for an alternative with little to no downsides. BMs can use their magic att sword normally, i see no major reason why fans shouldn't, since there is already a built-in tradeoff.
They are already offset by the lower att value for balance reasons so giving them SOME usage at least from horse can make things a bit easier to deal with. It's somewhat of a respectable tradeoff since they excel at nothing like for example daggers or bows do. I'm okay with using a fan to do something more slowly but at least do it knowing it is quite a bit slower than gutting it completely. Daggers are much faster, arguably the best pierce synergy weapon and bows can abuse poly or do what capes do at a slower rate.
Fans have no niche. Maybe a little love touch on horse only can make them somewhat better and allow for a tiny bit more variety or at least for them not to be strictly PvP on foot.
And before comments like : "game is the way it is for a reason", balance changes have been made on a lot of items, grudges were weaker and they got more dmg than poison, which at the time was considered problematic since the extra dmg also had value in skill dmg, bell lv30 is 3 stone slots while all other weaps are 2 for no obvious reason so even bells have something *special*. Fans are just....there. Doing nothing different but at the same time doing almost everything worse.
Let me know what you think.
