Imo 40 pierce for a lolstab weapon is very low, better make it 100000 just to be sure that 2hand heroes will kill anything.
Please don't get me raging about lolstab, I sincerely hate it, but I am putting my desire for a historically accurate stats above my hatred of 2h exploits.
If this game was realistic I could have some one on my own team shoot an arbalest through the gaps in my old round shield. Perfect cover.
Suggested primary damage stats for the Estoc:are you taking the bloody piss you or what!
15-18 blunt swing damage
35-40 pierce
Alternative 2 directional (2h & polearm thrust) variant or secondary mode:
40-45 pierce.
What more can I say?
are you taking the bloody piss you or what!
Otherwise don't be such a downvote one line smack talk dickhead.oi, sort it lad, crying over a downvote?
oi, sort it lad, crying over a downvote?Gawd, can you stop typing like a northern monkey. Fine that you talk that way but if you type like that I hear it when I read.
its a game, not a real life simulation. Think about balance.
Give it knockdown, too.
On the stab.

It's not getting blunt damage unless we decide to change the model. Not all estocs had blunted edges.

"Some estoc blades retain cutting edges while others are so thick in cross-section that they are simply hilted spikes."
Thick cross section, meaning the angles at the edges were more like 75 degree angles, rather than the 20-30 that most bladed weapons would have. Check out the model, blunt wouldn't make sense. Even if you assumed the blade wasn't properly sharpened, the thin blade would still make it more suitable for cutting than bludgeoning.

from Old French estoc (“the point of a sword, rapier”), deverbal of estoquer, estochier (“to stab, thrust”), from Middle Dutch stoken (“to thrust, poke”) or Middle High German stoken (“to stab, pierce”), both from Proto-Germanic *stukōną (“to be stiff, push, thrust”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teug- (“to beat, thrust, push”)
I own a MW Estoc now. I'd say it is a balanced sword. Swings do very low damage, so you mostly have to use the thrust attack. Which tones down your strength a bit.Interesting! Thanks for that info!
