2H weapons get a massive reach bonus on all attacks.this is getting ridiculous.
this is getting ridiculous.
How so? Unless I'm mistaken, both tests done regarding reach concluded that 2H animations give some big reach bonuses. Even disregarding those, go grab a bec and tell me you have the same reach as a nodachi. I agree that a katana can't outreach a poleaxe, but a 2H of the same "length" as a polearm WILL outreach it.
A katana will never out-reach a polearm (at least not a real polearm, rather than a spear) and nodachi doesn't have a stab anymore, so that can't out-stab anything.
The greatswords however, yes, they are stab OP, massively.

It is not a coincidence that most of the best players (on NA, anyway) fight with greatswords of one kind or another. Greatswords totally rule.
So yeah if anyone wants my +2 German Poleaxe for a +2 Danish Greatsword...
Pole arms the animation has you holding the middle of the weapon. Two-handed weapons the animation your holding the hilt, meaning 132 reach but your holding the center of the shaft while the katana user is holding the end.... but still if your being out reached by a katana with a pole axe something is wrong. Perhaps it was a Nodachii?
I am sure someone else could explain it with more details.
2h isn't op
It's just the only thing that hasn't been nerfed to the state of being underpowered.
Yeah we don't need research to show 2h animations give reach bonuses, it's pretty obvious. But what do you expect? The grip of the 2h is at the base of the blade, the polearm near the middle. You want the bec to have the same reach as a nodachi? Lol. Two handers of the same length as a polearm will outreach it, yeah, as they should due to where the weapons are held. I don't know what you're trying to achieve here, besides wanting polearms to outreach 2hers no matter of where they're gripped. Please, you might want to "research" how different weapons should be held.

When you start with "IN REAL LIFE" please... Try it yourself or try looking for the info. Don't write bullshit because "you think so"
Stop whining fats, I still can outreach and spam alot of Greatsworders with my MW Glaive of Doom and
LHB goes similarily, balance between Pole and 2H is pretty good atm, no reason to whine about it.
