Keeping it all in order:

Nah, I'm honestly deleting every second thing I want to say to you to keep it tame and attempt to be nice.

The Longhammer has a weight of 18, the sword weighs 19. If there was a just god making this game, it'd have a slightly faster swing. As there's not, it loses by 22% in speed, and 13% overall, factoring in damage per swing with speed. But 13% is nearly too small to truly take note of in game without watching numbers fly by, especially on any difficulty below master, where the hammer wins in ttk far more often.

I'm not looking for a perfect block, I don't even need 40% perfect. "Some" is all that's needed, and that's all I use. It allows me to survive the hardest fights on legend at 50% health as opposed to 10% health, without potting or healing either way, and I'm fine with that. On any lower difficulty, enemies may as well not even try. What's the health there for if not to be used (both my health and stam are over 500 points as is, since my casting comes free and magicka lvl is moot to me)....but I don't need or want the 10% kind of cutting it close.

thank you.

To you as well.
