I would assume the aurora blade has taken the old place of the EK that used to drop in normal but has since become a ragnarok loot, which would make sense as to why it should rival the dwarf axe which drops off wave 12 hard. Nevertheless, I still believe the Dwarf axe is better than the EK at +2c and bonus against shields despite lacklustre length. That said, I do believe the EK should not be usable by the archer class and should have been updated with the changes to the usability of the aurora blade, fell edge etc, given that the devs have taken a sharp turn against supporting the use of hybrid classing.
As for 2h craftable weapons and house crafted weapons, they probably could do with a little tweaking. The boarding axe and butcher were to the best of my knowledge, nerfed to create a bigger gap between craftables and legendaries (namely the EK at the time, having the same cut as the boarding axe and the butcher having even more cut) given that these legendaries have received so much attention lately, I think it would be a good time to look at bringing some of these old weapons back up to speed. Weapons like the talhoffer, highlander claymore and those ugly crusader sword things have always been kinda "meh" in my eyes and always deserved some buffing. the justice/injustice could do with some love aswell, maybe winter could add some flair here and make them different from each other, maybe one being speedy and weak and the other being slow and powerfull, they're both bastard swords so one could be made better with 1 hand than the other i don't know? I could go on for forever about these long forgotten items, but i think I've made my point
I guess it's just nice to see constant stat changes rather than waiting for the big patch for a few tweaks to items here and there like it happened in the past, so thanks for that.
