The 0 slot weapons are nice for those who like extra length :wink:, but the most effective 0 slot 1hs remain the hammer and the pickaxe because of lack of glancing and damage to armored opponents. Weapon stun is still devastating and all this "buff" did was give archers a new way to kill each other and other lightly armored opponents (too few).

I think the bash/knockdown 1h weapons are not 0 slot because of their advantages over 1h swords. Cut is weaker than bash, and 1h stabs are not so great even on thrust-focused swords. With low wpf/ps a blunt weapon will do loads more damage than a cut weapon, especially against heavier armors.
Even if your strength is low and your % chance of knockdown is tiny, it is much better than glancing constanstly with a cut weapon.
With 0 ps and 1 wpf in melee, I glance all the time with cut weapons. With a pierce or blunt weapon I can get kills that surprise both me and my enemy.
I'd like to see the light spiked club and spiked club go 0 slot, with higher upkeep. Since they are pierce they can't knockdown, and both are much weaker than the 1h pick weapons. They are about as strong as many of the 1h swords that recently got changed to 0 slots.
I have rarely seen any hammers or pick axes on NA servers. As a backup people back the new 0 slots or a rondel dagger in most cases.

Nope. I use a 2 slot shield, a 2 slot pole and a broad short sword. If you let me used the spiked or knobbed mace, it would be ridiculous. The idea of no maces being 0 slot, is so ranged can't have anti-plate long range aswell as CQC if they want ammo or shield etc
