Not good, even make a mess of existing mod on testmerge. Like Evil UI Grittier Edition + Diablo 2 Orbs (part of UI disappear) & Alternate Outfits (hair color changed to all white). 

Yeah I know, the set items are pretty confusing.

For clarification, some of them are at different tier level, and designed to have different set effect. For some reason they shares the same name.

And its likely that some sets are still missing their parts.. as the original authors never had the chance to complete these mods.

I do not know if this is a good idea or not. If the set of items is quite confusing, what if the Requirement for the set item is deleted, but the effects and skills that exist in that set of items is remain, and also the requirement for the class that can only use that item also remain.
All the effects and existing skills (purple color) will be add and directly obtained without having to collect the set items.

Yea the blade shares the same attack speed.. tbh there's not much that I could do. It's pretty hard to achieve balance to be the same level as the vanilla game. Plus I need to take account for other mods that rebalance items too, like Synergies. It's a slippery slope.

I do not know what to say, but I can imagine the imagination of the FEP maker when making this Mod. Like Iaijutsu blade, he wants to make swords with very fast attack speed (draw sword from scabbard) and high critical hit. And Bayushi Blade with its own advantages is the element of toxins and atack high enough penetrate even destroy the opponent's defense, although the speed of the attack is not too fast when compared with Iaijutsu blade.

Removing the set effects and adding them directly to the item is a bad idea.. that would meant FEP items become really OP.

Then the only way is to group the items that have the same name and make it a set of items. It would have taken some time to classify the item. I hope you will be patient, because I know it must be annoying to do that.

Perhaps by doing all it can make the set items complete.

Yes its fully intentional to have -20% attack speed.

I might revise the charge bar effects again, reverting it to +10% attack speed or something. 100% crit is too OP lol. 

for comparison:

FEP+ Kensei 

-20% attack speed
 +40% physical damage
 immune to knockback



original Kensei

+25% Magical damage (doesn't makes any sense)
+50% attack speed
+25% crit chance
immune to knockback

Can you also restore attack speed from weapon "Iaijutsu Nodachi sword" as before. Because the weapon is indeed made for quick attacks compared to the other three weapons "Bayushi, Hida & Matsu". It might be better if all four Nodachi (animal types) are returned as before.

The advantages of each:

- Crab= Hida [shield breaker] + element ice
- Crane= Iaijutsu [attack speed] + element lightning
- Lion= Matsu [- all armor] + element fire
- Scorpion= Bayushi [poison damage] + element poison

Hi @steffire3

if I may know, do you mean about the effect of the Kensei charge bar or about the Nodachi Crane [Iaijutsu] weapon?

If it's about the effect of the Kensei charge bar, I think -20% attack speed when the charge bar is fully loaded is very burdensome especially when facing a lot of enemies.

If it concerns Nodachi Crane [Iaijutsu] weapon, I have a reason for that. As far as I know, Iaijutsu (one of the art of swords in pulling swords quickly from a sword sheath) is intended for fast attack or more famous with the name Quikdraw attack. In the initial version of Mod, that weapon has a very high attack speed but with less attack damage compared to the other 3 Nodachi types. Each of the 4 Nodachi Types has their own advantages and disadvantages. 

@Sch123 There was a complaint on Steam regarding the Attack Speed of Big Swords hence the speed was lowered.

Hmm, but I also can not blame the weapon alone. I admit indeed some weapons in the FEP need to be balanced especially in attack speed and damage attack. Like the Mongol Archer Bow weapon that has an attack speed and a very high attack damage from other arrow weapons. I agree it is necessary balancing in the weapons that exist in the FEP. But, do not let the balance of weapons  eliminate the uniqueness of the weapon.

At least what I'm asking for is, making Nodachi Crane [Iaijutsu] has a fast attack speed among the other three Nodachi. What I see now the four Nodachi's have the same attack speed. So it makes one of the uniqueness of the Nodachi Iaijutsu weapon it's gone.

Even a wooden sword [Bokken] has a lower attack speed than any other 2H sword weapon which exists. I think it's weird, because wood is lighter than steel.

Instead of increasing the Attack Speed. How about the Lightning Big Sword causes Enemy Attack Speed to be Slowed?

I think it fits better on Nodachi Hida because he's element is ice. Element ice does make the enemy slow.

Why did I ask that the four Nodachi be restored as before, because I do not think it's fair that the four weapons are treated equally, because the four Nodachis are unique weapons (has their own advantages and disadvantages). And I feel the uniqueness of the four weapons is gone especially Nodachi Crane [Iaijutsu].
