I said this to another post already, but I literally calculated it all out; Lost sector boss on Nessus. The sword (lament) does approximately for one combo 117254dmg on its heavy and 92022 on its light, for a total of 209276; meaning that lament’s dmg is roughly split 56% in its heavy, and 44% to its light. Remember, the nerf of 16% is only to its heavy, meaning (56/100 x .84) + (44/100) = 0.9104. Meaning they are nerfing lament by approximately 9% total. The heavy dmg goes from 117254 to 98493.36, for a reduction of 18760.64. This is literally less then a rev light attack worth of damage. While I don’t like nerfs in general in pve, this isn’t really going to impact the sword much. As for the guillotine, yeah the extra cost is a bit annoying, but at least they didn’t touch the dmg. I’m a sword main and I will still be using them after nerf.

Wait, you are trying to reason with people on the forums using facts? That's a bold move.

Im glad you took the time to math this out, kudos to you. Unfortunately most people are just going to see lament/FG nerf and think it's being dropped to 10 flat damage without actually knowing what the change will do. With numbers as high as hundreds of thousands for dps, 16% is almost negligible. This happens all the time, people complained about the last nerf and FG was still the best heavy in the game anyway. It's unfortunate that your work will either go unnoticed or people will ignore it because it's a factual post against their view of the nerf.
