[WHINE] Long Maul is useless now

[NuberT]

Reason: Long maul or boulder on a stick was always a very slow "one-hitter", but with latest nerf and the one before it has become a 2-3 hitter which makes the weapon obsolete as it is a disaster to defend yourself with it. Suggestion increase weight back to 9 where it was in january increase blunt to 42 (great maul has 43) and as compromise increase difficulty to 21.

I know most people wont agree because they dont like getting hammerd, but every class should have its counterpart!

I don't see why a longer weapon should deal more damage, all crushtrough weapons got a nerf, deal with it.

9 WEIGHT? ARE YOU DUMB OR WHAT?!

You want it to break through all blocks? No!

Yesterday a long maul user couldn't crush through my Steel Shield. And let's keep it that way...

To be honest i dont think Long Maul was overpowered last patch
and to be honest it is for sure underpowered now.

It is fucking slow, it is unbalanced and every player with a bit of movement is able to
kill a Long Maul player.

PS: Im no polearmguy but have you seen sooo many long mauls before patch?
I didnt.

[Tzar]

Its a support weapon and allways have been its useless for 1vs1 or rambo style...

Get some PS and your fine.

Buff the thrust damage on the long maul.

It does less damage than a wooden stick.

[Torp]

Buff thrust! 30 pierce!

[Elmetiacos]

Long Maul is a silly weapon.

37 blunt and 7 weight will crush through anything on a str build. With a requirement of 18 it is almost a given. It is also incredibly likely to knock down. Why do you demand that it will one shot on every hit as well? It is a support weapon, you are not supposed to defend with it much - time it, step in, crush the shielder to the ground, let the guy next to you finish him off. That is support.

Oh I see the game is balanced as long as you can hide behind your steel shield. I am so sorry I even suggested such hilarious things..

Its not really playable on a strength build because the weapon itself is too slow block always correct and it gets even worse with less wpf. I played Mighty long maul once on strength build and it sucks even with 8,75 weight and 44 blunt.
Other then that I wouldnt make a strength char for it because I am fine with my other weapons on 21/18. I simply wont play long maul anymore with those stats.
Perhaps support is the new role the devs had in mind, but I doubt many people will play it..

So you want all the advantages that a 2h sword has combined with the speed of a 1h with 1 hit killing capabilities and crushthrough... You sir, are a douchebag.

Doubt away! Long Maul and Pike are still my go to choices for support weaponry!

You Sir are exaggeratin.

70 Speed and Unbalanced is nothing compared to a 2H a 1H or anything else regardless if it has more weight or not.

Me exaggerating? Ah psh psh ka pah? NEVER.

Long maul n pike was my combo pre patch, with the drop n slot system its not viable any more.

Masterwork pike is far more effective as a support weapon than a long maul.

But its still dominates at siege.
