I agree, terribly OP and should be nerfed. +1
Should be uniform across the board, any weapon longer than 150 SHOULD NOT be Sheathable
Yup the devs should just assign the can't sheath tag to all weapons across the board according to an arbitrary number that you give us.
"The pilum (plural pila) was a javelin commonly used by the Roman army in ancient times. It was generally about two metres long overall, consisting of an iron shank about 7 mm in diameter and 60 cm long with pyramidal head. The shank was joined to the wooded shaft by either a socket or a flat tang."
A Roman Legionnaire carried two pila onto the battlefield
Yep. Go ahead and show me a 'pilum sheath' for an individual soldier and quit talking out of your assShields :mrgreen:
Again countering a game balance argument with a historic argument?
GTFO!
My bro Digglez started it!visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Then, you know... Kittens got real.
I don't know, I recon I could sheath a pike on my back.
Using it would a bit difficult but I suppose I could just lean forward and run at things like some kind of insane bull.
I'm following you o.O

90 Speed
LOL GOOD JOKE DEVS
Yep, having a weapon that is LONGER than the distance from your knees to your shoulders+1ft that has to be carried at such an angle that you cant fit thru doorways. 150 is a great cut off
Isn't it so weird that a military who decided to use something a lot decided that carrying it by hand was a pretty crappy way of doing things in battle, and found a convenient solution?
granted, this could never be done for things like, say, a traditional pike obviously...
But 150cm long weapon "sheathed" as in you DO NOT have to drop it to use another weapon is a pretty manageable thing to do. I mean, Longbows are pretty long but they could be carried on the back so "sheathed" when needed.
Glaive and Long Hafted Blade have these crazy fast swings
Last I checked, cRPG's length units were not CM. You think a pike is 300 cm? Laugh.
The pike was a long weapon, varying considerably in size, from 3 to 7.5 metres (10 to 25 feet) long. It was supposed to be about 16 ft but the soldiers normally cut a few feet off to make it easier to carry.
Why shouldn't the Glaive have 90 speed? Its attacks have only slightly longer reach than the danish greatsword anyway.
No I'm not saying its speed shouldn't be 90, I'm saying its speed isn't 90. That thing seems waaaaaaay faster then 90 speed and for its length. You can especially tell in a duel with someone that uses. Take Rhaelys for example.
Rhaelys uses the Great Long Bardiche last I checked, and yes, I already know that it's faster than it seems. Same thing applies to the greatswords.
Consider this: Higher weapon weight and higher damage lessens your chances of glancing. Because of that your weapons sweet-spots can be stretched. In other words, you can turn into your swings to connect earlier in the swing arc and still maintain full damage. You should know about this considering you use a Sword of War.
Simply put, weapon speed is a worthless stat to bother thinking about if you know how to turn into your swings properly based on your damage and weapon weight. Why do you think 2-handers can pull of double swings so easily and not 1-handers?
Well a lot depends on the animations for double swings. Castoring and hilt slashing is much easier with 2h than any other class due to the animations imo. The Glaive is 2.8 in wieght, and my Sword of war only only coming in at .2 more at 3 weight. So glancing shouldn't be a problem with the Glaive. Now put that along with the reach and magic speed of it, you can pretty much out spam and outreach almost anyone. With something as simple as the backpeddle you should get an easy advantage.
Your Sword of War has more weight and has more damage in all attack directions, therefore you can hit earlier in the swing arc. Your sword is faster than the glaive and the glaive is longer than your sword. Fair trade-off.
The speed imo is faster then my sword, maybe not my much but its faster.
Well you're wrong.
Tom, don't be mean.
Sorry Tom, but is it easier to double-swing with a glaive or a sword of war?
Looks like we have a Tom fight on our hands.
Tom Cruis are you basing your observations on fighting Rhaelys or just in general?
Well double swing doesn't matter if I cant reach the opponent. If they are faster then me (running speed, backbeddling, etc.) then I'll just be swinging at air and blocking until I get close enough to hit him/her.
wow...+1

You checked wrong. What else should they be?
Thing is, Paul is probably convinced that a 90 speed rating means that the glaive is exactly as fast as any other 90 speed weapon. He;s wrong though. Glaive and Long Hafted Blade have these crazy fast swings while having a ton of reach.
Shit is OP, atleast in duel, not sure how annoying the reach is in battle.
Yeah but Danish has 92 speed while Glaive has 90.
