Soon it will be time to take your light sabres back to the temple on Coruscant. Say hi to Yoda for me...

So....all other swords are now going to perform like a Virtue? And a Virtue is going to remain the same because of the Electric increase?

Goodbye Jedis indeed, ain't gonna change it that much.

No, swords will do less damage in general and due to how multipliers work the Virtue will also be greatly affected.

25% isn't that much, with a Brawler stim You can still OHK people!

I'm just glad that they're fixing electric and fire. We need more nano diversity. Even if the swords are decreased Virtue will still have a slight advantage.

the frag will beat a sword

They already are, so...
The nerf won't really change things, to be honest. Swords will still dish out a huge amount of damage. I just wish that they toned down the lunge range to 1/3 of what it is now. Seriously, the lunge just makes sawn-offs useless (with the exception of a Nanofragger with a falloff barrel).

Spoiler:

Anakin cleared out that temple, and Yoda has passed away. Try again.

For those of us that live in the real world Pith none of that ever happened...

And, by the way, you have no chance of hooking up with Rey.

This is pretty good for PvP

Swords were fine before the buff. They were a good choice to use as some did. But now it's nearly the only thing that the majority uses.

I hope this -25% to melee weapon damagr doesn't affect melee bunting with guns as that's in a good place.
