Have you used it? 16b with ~120 wpf and 7 powerstrike is HORRIBLE.I use it, with 3 ps and 0wpf. It's been my weapon of choice for several gens now.
GUESS WHAT I VOTED :lol:
Every time I see you make a suggestion you usually do not have any reasonable ideas as to why other then "It's not good enough for me"If it's unplayably weak, I'd like to think that if I feel something is dreadfully underpowered, other people may feel the same way. In this case, apparently not :(.
In case you didn't know, biased polls are ignored by the dev's, so even if everyone actually believed they should be buffed, your poll guarantees that it won't even be looked at.I see, thanks.

OP :Hehhehe, it saddens me that my serious requests are treated like this. Perhaps I should change my way of thinking.(click to show/hide)
It really isnt "unplayably weak"Yes it is, I've a lot more experience with it than you do and because I play in Australia, where people are undeniably better (yes, they are better in 1v1 because of our low playerbase, it's pretty much all we do) at dueling, I see how lacking the damage is, significantly more so than you do.
I can do well with the regular club in the 1h category which only has 17. A lot of people do well with a cudgel even and thats 15.
Just because you are not good with it does not mean other people cannot play with it.
Do you enjoy having swings that can't hurt people with medium armor?Getting more ps and wpf would cripple my horsethrowing, but my sideswings won't glance unless they're placed extremely retardedly or I'm fighting against loomed plate, and then I still have my stab, the lances that I use aren't even loomed now adays, the throwing lance is a decent melee weapon, and being a decent melee weapon plus being able to send 60 pierce at any S key hero, is more than enough to not buff the throwing lance any further in melee.

Note however I'd not be using this if I wasn't accustomed to the throwing lance arch of flight and therefore suck at aiming with everything else. I never had issues with glancing back when I had a much more melee oriented build with 7ps, with my current 3ps and before that 2ps I do however occasionally glance on the higher tier armor as I mentioned, only way to avoid that for me is hitting with the sweetspots and aiming for the head, but really, the stab is what you should be using at least 50% of the time as a spearman (polearm stab also functions very well combined with a few jumps).
Also, off topic but I'm thinking of using a Throwing Lance as my dedicated melee weapon (but I might throw it occasionally hehe) and having x3 Throwing Spears for dedicated chucking. Would that work, and what do you use?

I stab quite a lot with non-stab oriented weapons so my stab:swing ratio shouldn't be too bad but still, some time ago when I was using wooden sticks (14b) and had 9 powerstrike, I would glance almost every time on heavily armored foes (from memory, that probably isn't true hehe).
