How do ya'll feel about +20 accuracy and +20 crit effectiveness? The accuracy will make you hit more (obviously) but also crit more because of the over-hit mechanic if the target doesn't have insane evasion, while the crit effectiveness is essentially +20 attack power when you do crit. I think these stats make the most sense narratively (how using a weapon with an extra hand would assist you in real life), they complement the existing stats of 2H weapons well, but also I'm afraid giving attack power would make 1H w/ no shield/offhand steal the identity of 2H weapons pre-9.
Just throwing a suggestion out, would immunity to disarmed be a reasonable buff for 2 handers with Titan grasp? Its pretty hard to come by in the game and disarmed hard counters weapon builds, so I feel like it'd be quite strong.

Just a suggestion, as 20 accuracy isn't really on par with the other level 9 perks imo

This bothered me the first time I saw it, but is there a reason that Pierce Through is "You ignore 25% of your enemies' Armor." and not "Add half your Strength to Armor Pen and your penetration can bring enemies' Armor below 0 for the purposes of damage calculation."?
I assume it has something to do with the differing levels of Armor, Ward, and Focus, and making it so each Perk grants a similar buff in damage, but I can't tell if the difference is a buff because enemy Armor is too much higher than Ward and Focus or a nerf where letting Armor go below 0 causes a lot of trouble for something.

Some enemies have damage type immunity. Just use an element type he isn't immune to like a spell with storm damage and you'll still one shot him.

Circling back to this, the reason I thought you couldn't one shot Reggie is because of his perk Sturdy

...but upon actual testing, I'm wrong again because it isn't working.

I guess by "remains standing" they meant some of him is standing here, a bit of him is standing over there, and still more of him standing further afield

What build were you using for the 750 sword hits? Ive struggled to get mine past 600
Str for attack power and penetration (8 points put there) same with cunning for crit effctv, Pierce through (didn't bother to check how big of a diff it makes) Galon's griefmaker, giant gloves (forgor the actual name). Helm is whatever, the titanic hat gets you extra attack power, 15 at most, which isn't 0, but eh. And the champion belt for extra attack power (every bit helps)

Charge Weapon gives me decent extra holy per hit, because Willpower (this adds up)

A crit hits for around 700 ~ 720.

Another setup I thought of but haven't tried involves the forge hammer thingy, and the glacial guard set for Ryn, since she inflicts Frigid from the get-go.

You'll see that it's not even balanced, magic beats the sword.

I switched Charge Weapon with Blue Flame Blade, because enemies dropped with the stance cast damage.

I'm assuming the second screenshot is with wardbreaker?

Yeah, I force the White Mage class always.
(Heal interaction with a bear AND Kinu).

Edit:
The damage is even dumber because of the weird bug during Lumia's quest, those 150 extra spellpower add up nicely
