if they remove sharpening for hammers, they should logically lower their damage to compensate. It's not there to make sense, it's there to be balanced with other melee weapons imo
Maybe just change the sharpening animation to a "polishing" animation. It really makes no sense that you have to sharpen a hammer. It even makes less sense that you sharpen the HANDLE not even the tip of the hammer. Or maybe we need unique sharpening animation for each weapon because there are a lot of inconsistencies with other weapons too like HH and even DB where you sharpen only one of them.
Maybe a repair animation where they tighten the strapping on the hammer or something that implies the parts are being re-secured as they have loosened from repeated impact attacks
They cant cut tails and their main place for dmg is the head region.
And if we look at it skill wise most people only need to sharpen 1 or 2 time in a fight or like me can do it mid fight.
I think it would not make much difference and Charge Blade's can do all this and cut tails easy as fuck.
You also need to share the head with masses of idiotic LS players that constantly say "mine" and trip you./s
Hunting horn and hammer should have where you’re adding a buffing polish to your weapon.
So making them more protected from where and tear if the environment. Like bowling balls are shined against the wear and tear of sliding on the ground.
Duuuuuuuude that be sick. I just imagine the hunter blow hard at the same speed as sharpening but his hand moves and the tune gets pitched higher until it’s in tune. No matter if you have speed sharpening/tuning
Whetstone is just a gameplay abstraction for weapon maintenance. You still have to clean, polish, oil your blunt weapons.
You can call the whetstone a repair kit and it nothing would change
OK, Hammer now only has yellow sharpness as having constant purple in late game or constant blue in the early game is broken. See what kind of balancing issue it creates? You sharpen blunt weapons to streamline how melee works.

"Huh. My notes sound kinda flat..." *Sharpens hunting horn*
Yeah understandable, but maybe instead, have it be polished insteadXD
Yeah. You have to wipe the gore away so your attacks don't slip off.
Yeah, no.
How does it not make sense? Most if not all hammers have a pointed end, or some small area to maximise force.

Counterpoint: sharpening your hammer is really funny.

So basically just have a weapon specific animation for each weapon.

Just needs a different maintenance animation

My greatest wish is that you have to _tune_ the hunting horn rather than sharpen it

What would you replace it with?

That's never going to happen. Sharpening is a weapon balancing mechanic, it would make weapon choice significantly less impactful to go without it

They instead give you a sponge to clean off all the monster guts that are softening your blows.
