Art and Audio Feedback - Great Sword Weapon (type) please? - Forum

I want to say i just started a Duelist champion with two handed sword some time ago, and so far i love it!
To be honest i wanted some berserk feeling, tearing hundreds of enemies apart with my huge sword in a few cool swings.
I like the skill "cleave" for this style, and i like the actual 2 handed swords.
But there should be more. Bigger. Stronger.
Great Swords!
With the legendary "held on shoulder" style because of its weight.
The weight that requires some serious strength (literally) while you have to be smart too,
swinging around a monster (dexterity)
If it would come with a new weapon type or new two handed sword type, it would also be cool
if it would give Area of effect radius alot. Like a 30% for instant.
Why not? By simply swingin something like that, would generate some serious pushing power to the air itself too.. you know what i mean. So area effect radius would be cool for the type.
And also classic, but unique to PoE.
Skills like "Cleave" would benefit from that atleast. Which skill really deserves!
------------(not necessary)---------------
Would also be fun if this type of sword could have "Extra Gore" by simply modding.
I mean.. you make it rare and there's a chance for one of the mods on it to be gore.
------------------------------------------

Im not an artist nor good at anything but i made a quick example of a Great Sword.

From the use of your term 'Great Swords', it sounds like you play(ed) Guild Wars 2, which is cool if that is the case because I play it, too, once in a while.

Anyway, I agree. PoE really needs bigger two-handed weapons, and longer one-handed weapons that do not look dagger size.

P.S. Not being an artist and all, I totally dig your concept design of a Great Sword.

When game developers ignore the criticism that would improve their game, the game fails.
Just because a game receives a great amount of praise vs. only a small amount of criticism
does not mean to call it a day and make a foolish misplaced assumption that it is perfect.
