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].
