Title: Secondary Mode !?
Post by: Belatu on January 22, 2011, 10:23:24 am: So the secondary mode in a two hands sword seems like you are using as one polearm...

my question is if you still using the WPF from the 2 hands skill or if you start using the polearm WPF instead...

thanks in advance

Longsword used with a shield uses 1h wpf, but it incurs such severe penalties that it's not advisable for any situation.

If I recall correctly, it's a 30% speed penalty when you use a two-handed sword in one hand.

Post by: Cyclopsided on January 25, 2011, 08:21:53 pm: Yeah, when in polearm mode it uses pole arm wpf.
I love the longsword for being so ridiculously versatile.
2h, 1h + shield (with penalty), Halfsword as pole-arm with lowered range, Halfsword as a 1handed spear w/shield (totally lollable wtf). 4 weapon modes. Although the last one shouldn't be possible, it isn't OP in game to my knowledge.

Post by: Fleshcutter on June 01, 2011, 06:43:35 pm: So why even use this mode if it uses polearm wpf? Using this as 2h spec you then have 0 wpf = crap?

There's two uses I can think of : you are swarming a plate guy and you want the stun, or you want to stop a horse.

And btw, is it possible to use the longsword in secondary mode with a shield ? Wtf :lol:

Post by: Jarlek on June 03, 2011, 12:10:03 am: It was put there so that 2handers also can stop horses (with a stab to the face that is) because they couldn't give it to 2handers normally. Only polearms have that ability. And while yeah the 1 wpf sucks you can still switch back to 2h when you stopped the horse and go rampage. Of course nobody ever DOES that but instead stupidly jumps on my lance while they try to sideswing...
