Galatine is an odd weapon, it's effectively 6fold more effective than other melee's, swings faster than Orthos Prime, can hit 5 enemies instead of 3, seems to hit 360°, quick attacks have 100% stagger, has a massive AoE knockdown....

Galatine has no downsides other than not having as much range as Orthos.

oh, let's not forget Galatine is a joke to build. the resource costs are absolutely nothing.

i don't understand this powercreep. a similar weapon, Gram, will have Charge attacks hitting for ~650dmg. but Galatine? >2k just on it's own is going to be very common. even if it doesn't Crit, it's still going to be over 1000dmg.

don't get me wrong, Galatine is really sick to look at(though, maybe a little too long, lol - when sliding almost half of it clips the floor). but it's performance is, once again, quite over what we expect out of new content. i know this is Scott making his 'Tier 2' for weapons, but.... meh.
