The Dakra Prime is good now but when people say it's the best sword now I can't agree. Dakra Prime has the same base damage as the Prisma Skana at 170 but Prisma Skana has a mod that increases base damage an additional 100%, heals 25% of your health, does a 1000 damage garunteed corrosive proc, and buffs your max health by 25%. Krohkur has 217 base damage with a .1 less crit multiplier of x2.3. Sure, Dakra P has 36% crit and Krohkur has 28% but that just means Dakra hits red crits faster. If both are using organ shatter would Dakra Prime's x2.4 crit damage catch up to Krohkur's x2.3 crit damage powering a base 217 damage compared to Dakra Prime's 170? Then there's Broken War. Will Prisma Skana is MR8 and Khrokur is MR9, Broken War shares the same MR of 10...yet has a base damage of 187. Yes, weaker crit stats of 35% crit chance and x2.2 crit damage but those are not "weak" crit stats.

I say all that to basically say I don't understand DE's balancing thought process. If it's going to be 1 MR higher than the longsword with the most base damage, share the same base damage as a MR8 sword, and share the same MR as a sword with 17 more damage, I think they should have gave it a x3.0 crit multiplier. Or at least x2.8 or more base damage.
