Title: Sickles and picks
Post by: haxKingdom on March 10, 2012, 10:09:23 pm: No one seems to have touched this one. Picks aren't hammers, so they should loom like swords and not be given increased weight with their damage. Also, their kill icon right now looks like a mace, but they aren't maces. :?

You are completely and utterly wrong. Picks are in the hammer family as they have the same weight distribution & design of a hammer, a heavy weight at the end of a fairly short shaft. The difference is they have a pointed end to focus the armor penetrating power (Force * Weight) of the blow. Same force + reduced surface area = more pressure, basic physics.

Updated kill icon would be nice

Updated kill icon would make me use picks :D It's a shame that 2hand "pick" (Morningstar) has it's own icon, but not 1hand picks
