The only thing that separates the katana with the saber is the block ability

They both work the same way...
Improving the saber's current stats doesn't change the fact that the saber isn't OP at it is now.
In fact, there's nothing you can change other than making saber do more damage. Increasing its speed via Gani will still make it look fast but damages the same speed as any other melee.
Not to mention that the saber is faster on PC than any average device you're using to play Era.
I see where you're coming; it doesn't matter whether the chaplain outranks the DLS's damage and speed.
I think this has some link to scripting of the weapon to have it deal damage at a point of time so that not ALL attacks will instantly kill a player even in a no hit timer zone.
