You see, it is not our fault the lag in the game ruins PvP even now. Jumping would have been fine for everybody if the PvP lag weren't so horribly.
I would still like to know the justification for this however:

Granted, I would not be complaining at all about that specifically if the slow duration applied to the right-click feature as well.

Broadsword, I will agree with you on. I use only a keyboard, so therefore, I will be a broadsword person forever - it is nearly impossible for me to adapt. I will call you out on freeze though. It is a LEGENDARY item - What would make you think I WOULDN'T want to showcase its power? If a LEGENDARY cutlass had freeze sweep, I would more than bet that it'd be used and abused. Granted, I think that would be said about ANY legendary blade to begin with, regardless of freeze.

Allow me to go off on a tangent and put more emphasis on this - I get complaints all the time about being a freeze noob/broadsword noob - All I can say is that they are the noob for not being able to overcome it. Most of the jumpers I meet just whine because they don't know how to overcome a weapon. *Ohnoes, a <insert weapon that isn't sabre or cutlass here>, I stand no chance, I will never defeat him* "YOU'RE A NOOB IM LEAVING!!!!" *exits PvP*. Those are the people I think this update is for - They really only bring drama and misery to what is supposed to be a very fun part of this game, and then create an elitist sector of players, creating no leeway for anyone else in PvP. It really is discouraging to most other players. And yes, I've heard much worse than "YOURE A NOOB IM LEAVING!!!"

Granted, I am not going to discredit all PvP players with that - I have a tremendous amount of respect for quite a few, and I dare say, find them aspiring in the PvP sector. The ones who truly know how to overcome ALL weapons to me are the ones who make PvP fun. I remember playing against a basic-access person in Abassa who used nothing but cutlass. I was unlimited with freeze and broadsword. He didn't complain ONCE, and even ended up winning by one point (think it was 17-16). Afterwards we both complimented each other, good game, etc., etc. THAT kind of person, is the one I'll feel sorry for with this update. Sadly, I don't see those too often.

/end rant.
