I'm hoping Machete gets revamped stats wise to D.2.0 standards.

To start with, I'd guess it staggers non-bosses by every hit (though it also reduces 'frame to walking pace), it has above-average attack speed (contributes to rare crit/status), below average power (nullifies the above point), stamina consumption..? Dunno.

Polarity is fine, as it fits the only stance available atm (10 extra points, not so hard to get either).

In other words, this weapon is disgustingly unpowered.

Only speed is the noticeable factor (more so in Wraith version), on par with most daggers and other faster melee weapons. Stance might take time to get used to (though it still needs attack speed to be comfortable).
