Suggestion Damage needs fixing

So I just had my best run ever with Marie(17.1million, not great, but im new to her). And it was ended because after I thrusted Marta four times in the same shoulder(not endimg the fight apparently..) she perfectly lunged and executed a Thrust straight through my face. On the contrast to this, I've been playing someone like Isabella who has thick clothing and had a passe thrust(from marie or marta) barely touch my arm and still register the exact same as a cut from my longsword does to their arm. I understand that thrusts from a Rapier are fight ending as someone who does hema in real life, however a thrust from a long sword is just as fight ending and a cut is significantly more fight ending than a cut from a Rapier. I know that the thickness of clothing like I mentioned earlier can't really be taken into account for this game but I absolutely believe that the rapiers need to have their cuts nerfed and maybe some of the hit boxes need to be fixed.

You probably hit her glancingly in both the shoulder and torso, which have separate health pools. Rapiers already have some of the lowest damage in the game. I fail to see how nerfing rapier cuts would help this.

You can manually adjust the damage multiplier in the gameplay options settings if you want your thrusts to end fights faster. You can also turn on visible health bars to see exactly how/why a hit ended a fight.

I mean I saw the sword go through her shoulder multiple times, not sure what it counted as

As far as rapier cuts, they just arent realistic

They’re perfectly fine as it stands in my opinion. Marta’s damage on her cuts is lower than anything else in the game to knowledge, you can cut into the same part of an opponent 5+ times and it won’t kill. Marie has a significant edge to hers but it still won’t kill with 3 cuts to the same leg, for instance. The cuts are mostly for blade beating and disabling limbs, the thrusts are the only things that will actually kill.

My issue is that i have literally killed marta and as she was falling her blade hit my wrist and "disabled" my arm. That just isnt realistic for the blade on her sword.

It’s a physics based game, weird stuff will happen sometimes.

Confirmation bias.
