Title: Please look into Throwing Lances
Post by: Wraist on September 25, 2011, 09:05:26 am
Ahoy, I am a Throwing/Polearm hybrid, using two throwing lances [in melee mode] as my primary weapon, with some jarids. Due to school issues, I was only able to play again today, and noticed that polestunning is ridiculous with the throwing lance.

The throwing lance has a speed of ~102, making it the fastest polearm, and while it doesn't do superb damage [16b, 26p iirc], I could get off three-four uninterrupted hits, even going as far as 7-8 uninterrupted hits. I'm pretty sure that the stun doesn't last as long as the bec's but it doesn't have to in all situations [to clarify, I only noticed polestunning other people when I used the bec or LHB, and now this].

If possible, I'd like this speedr to be reduced. I believe the war spear has a speed of 95, and perhaps a slight buff to the damage [+2b on the swings], although that isn't really necessary.

Thank you for yer time.

I must admit it's a fun weapon in duels, but it's useless in melee in big fights. You also need to carry more than 1 lance if you want to use one in melee (=a lot of upkeep to pay) and need 7 PT (=less points to distribute into other stats).

I don't see the point of having a melee throwing lance build, when you could use a 150 gold staff with slightly better speed and less thrust damage.

u sir are a weirdo,u are one of the VERY FEW people who actually use this build WHEN THEY ARE NOT TROLLING

i respect your integrity of your build but honestly with all the fiddling that has happened with this weapon/class
(which i admit i have not used in a long time,whenever i did i used heavy throw axes n jarids)
i think its fine where it stands due to its upkeep costs,no ammo,and average damage(little under a spear in comparison)

i have not in all my gens ever had to fight to the death with a throwing lance build in melee combat.....just saying that fact alone seems enough for me to say that it should not be nerfed
