Key to fighting Glaivers is just waiting through those 5 minutes of outranging when they get bored and come closer.

Stop nerfing shit, learn to counter a weapons strengths and learn some tactics.  If you are slower than your enemy and they outreach you, then probably not a good situation you got yourself in.

How to counter glaive?  Block until you're in range, and then swing?  Or don't let them kite you around the map if they are backpedaling?

Common sense, not all that common.

Once you're in range you'll most likely get kickslashed and staggered to death. Yeah, great plan!

1 less cut damage (German) or 1 more cut (Danish), but you get +4 pierce (German) and +2 Pierce (Danish) and a +2 to speed (both).

I agree that it's definitely not a "weak" cut dmg, they all have good swing damage. And +/-1 cut damage isn't really that big.

The thing with the Glaive is that it has a very good speed relative to length, same with many polearms/2handers, while still doing good damage.

And regarding damage output. I'd say the +2 speed gives the Danish/German a higher damage output than the Glaive.

The animations of the glaive are retarded, so is the speed. The 90 speed glaive is not really slower than its 2h brethren, faster if anything.

People should stop justifying their calls for nerfs when it's only based on duel experience on EU 3 and duel like experiences on Melee only.

Glaive's perfectly fine it sucks at the very moment a team mate appears next to you and you have to pay attention not to get stuck/teamhit.

Did 3 gens with poles in which I repeatedly used a loomed glaive. It's pretty much unusable in siege due to the likelihood of getting stuck in walls with it and is only second choice in battle too (just go to EU 1 or whatever and check for yourself. There's like that one glaive user playing at best [who's only using it for lulzy outranges anyway] while pretty much everyone else's using weapons like the various kind of (pole)axes, spears, staffs and hafted blades.)

Gods, how in hell is 90 speed glaive faster than it's 2h brethren? Most of the swords in that range are 92+ speed.

Only «sword» in that range has 86 speed. (do not forget that 3 of 4 Flamberge's attack has Polearm animation)

Have you seen the animations? The swing is retardedly fast, maybe the time required to chamber the weapon is longer or something so that the entire animation is in line with the speed rating but the swing itself is faster than 92 speed 2h's.

I tested this on recorded 0.25 speed video and I must admit Glaive has a faster swing than 92 speed German Greatsword, but longer chamber. It's not retardedly fast like you say though, it's barely noticable.

This was all with 1 wpf in both.

Animation, the swing frequency is slower but the speed at which it goes trough the air when swung is faster. This is also true for most polearms from my observation. Id like to hear what other peoples experience with the pole vs 2h swing is

Glaive is slow as hell and it cannot break shield which makes the great long axe much more powerful. Glaive IMO is just a decent weapon like in native, stop whining and play the game polearm haters. The 2H animation is already OP

Yeah, I have the same impression. When blocking, I usually only look at the movement direction of the swing, so I block late, and against polearm users, I already have to look at the ready stance, before the animation has started, to decide in which direction to block, because the swing will be so fast that I will be too late otherwise.

The thread is not about long voulge. It is about glaives. I think 90 speed (91 when loomed) is not so fast in terms of speed. But there is something buggy with all polearms. Sometimes, they somehow hit like at 150 speed. I don't really know why, but I see some people have experienced the same thing as me already.

Just fix it, do not nerf it. After it is fixed, we can actually give some thought if it is OP or not. With this bug, it is clearly OP. But it may not be so, after this is fixed.

Are you sure you read mine? I said it's barely noticable. Tested with 1 wpf, recorded, synchronized, german greatsword vs glaive and watched it frame by frame, it is barely noticable. How do you know it's super-fast speed (150 like you say), or did you just pull that out of your ass?

I think he's talking about chambered glaive which is super fast, just like any other chambered weapon. Problem is that most greatsword users are relaying on their range and when they face someone with a longer "stick" they are confused. Glaive users do the same as every other poleam user, hold chambered weapon and backpedal. If you go after him and try to play a range game with him, you're gonna end up dead.

Issue with chambered glaive isn't it's speed (it's actually a little bit slower than chambered GGS). Thing is that it's hard to tell when they are starting new attack or releasing chambered attack (at least for me).

I seem to have same problem against some good polearmers, speed of their swing, i dont mean the whole thing, but when they release it, it just hits so fast that the game cant response with my block even tough i did see where it was coming from, not a problem normally, but when they start to feint and u gotta keep up where they gonna hit, i just cant seem to get block up when they release the hit :/

No it's not the fucking chamber or pole vs 2hand comparision. What I mean is sometimes not always glaive or any other polearm hits especially faster than it's normal speed. It must be some kind of bug, I say. Maybe it's because the game engine, maybe it's a lag issue. But the same thing never happened with any other kind of weapon type.

There's no bug related to suddenly faster polearm speed. It's either lag or like Gurni said, a hiltslash.

Hitlslash is where you hit someone with the hilt of the weapon as it's starting it's swing (I think you have to turn into it), so basically when you first start swinging it can register a hit, and if you're turning with it, you get the speed bonus applied.  I'm cavalry so I don't really experience it, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Ok that's what I'm doing for approximately 1 year in duels. But I have never experienced such a thing with those buggy polearms. Whatever weapon I used in native or whatever non-polearm weapon you used in cRPG, that never happened as fast and as buggy as polearm version. I am serious. It was such an ublockable thing. It was faster than Khorin's and Thomek's katana swings (or any other level +30 ninja out there). Are you serious this is not a bug?

I am also 75% certain it was not because of lag. There was something evil with those evil mw glaives and mw long war axes.

The hitboxes are just screwed on polearms.

I mostly notice hiltslashes done by two handers, but I once decided to try it myself with a glaive just for fun and I think I might still have the screenshot lying around somewhere.

The kill happened to be right on the last round so it was a freeze frame of me killing the guy, problem is my glaive wasn't anywhere close to hitting the guy yet, it was a good 1-2 feet away from the guy and it already counted as him being dead, let me dig it up.

tap lmb, rmb, lmb as fast as you can and the chamber animation doesn't show, if you time this so you block the enemy with the rmb tap , thats how you do it.

Exactly this! It seems to harm the target before it actually hits the target when it's in close range sometimes. Have you tried fighting against a player with damascus steel yataghan in wfas? Well, when that thing you call "hiltslash" happens with this glaive, it is even faster then that yataghan which makes it impossible to block if you do not predict the attack direction of your enemy before he cocks his weapon.

tap lmb, rmb, lmb as fast as you can and the chamber animation doesn't show, if you time this so you block the enemy with the rmb tap , thats how you do it.

And for fuck's sake I'm not a fuckin noob. It was no chamber.

While we are at it, any kind of spears and staff(s) are too fast as well, cant counter a war spear user once he puts down his spear and starts to spam like a mad man.

I love it when people start invoking the speed rating of weapons such as the glaive.

It is of no relevance whatsoever. Speed rating determines the time between the start and the end of your active animation. Since with glaives and any weapon of the like, you can start your swings with your weapon model already into your opponent and still deal damage, it just doesn't matter, the weapon will be very fast anyway.

How do you do that? Oo

EDIT: Tried it, the animation is only client-side. For other players it looks like a regular swing :(

Where speed is nothing reach becomes everything...
So nerf 2h stab? Danish easily outreaches glaive with a stab.

Glaive desperatly needs a nerf it has been the most dominating melee weapon for pretty much 2 years now, there is just no way to counter it as a melee player

Way to necro a thread that's almost 7 months old.

Glaive - 3 good attacking directions, outreaches all greatsword attacks but the stab
Pike - 1 direction, low damage, cumbersome, unsheatable, 3-slots
Greatswords - 4 good directions, 1 outreaching almost every melee attack in the game. High damage, good speed.

I fail to see how your comparison makes any sense... I think the glaive is quite a gay weapon, but it's not really better than the greatswords.

This.

While the glaive is gay and should get a nerf, I fail to grasp why anyone can complain about it when we also have the Greatswords.

It's not about the stats, it's about the animation.
