Title: Goedendag or Quarter staff?
Post by: Shaksie on June 23, 2014, 10:08:11 am
As suggested by the title, I'm unsure whether I should use a Goedendag or a Quarterstaff.
I'm also not sure what build I will use, thinking of 24/15.
Either way I'll be using +3 Serbian Lamellar with Kneecops, +3 Scale gauntlets, French Pepperpot Helmet and Splinted Greaves.
Plox halp!

Goedendag is stronger, Quarter Staff is faster. It depends on what you like better.

Goedendag does not look stylish in combination with Serbian Lamellar, imho :(

Quarter Staff all the way! Goedendag looks ugly and is a twohander. Polearms rock! :D

Get a bit of Agi to dance around your enemies and gg.

But it's hilarious! :D
Quarterstaff seems the way to go though, how much agi were you thinking? I don't want to get less than 15 str

For level 30 I would probably go with 21/21, but if you want more wpf or some Iron Flesh 18/21 sounds good.

Won't I be really weak with 6 powerstrike?

Quarter Staff is not about killing with one blow. Spam the enemy, the occasional knockdown will piss them off, your footwork will make them glance so you just get lots of hits in while the enemy has a hard time actually getting one hit in (Obviously requires blocking a lot since you should wear light/medium-ish armour)

Goat-tag is a better battle weapon, since you get lolstab and do more damage. In fact, it's a better Longsword than the Longsword, but luckily it's ugly so everyone uses Longsword instead.

However, +3 Quarterstaff may be the best duel weapon in the game. With enough wpf, it barely renders the swing animation.

Quarterstaff if you're more confident of your melee abilities, goedendag if you're looking for a hilarious bonking experience, I'd say.

I'm looking for any "bonking experiences" if you know what I'm saying!

I'd got with the quarterstaff. It is incredibly fast for a weapon with that much reach. Build-wise, I'd go 21/18 if you are planning for level 30.

Check out the iron staff too. It's one of my favorite polearms.

Trying a Long Axe at the moment at 15/18 and I really like it but yeah I might carry both a Long Axe and Quarterstaff around.

I like goedendag. It has nice stab you can use it onehand with shield if totally pissed by range and its fun knocking weapon too. Not so stylish, but go with the nostyle stlye and your good.

Quarterstaff is nice for duel and runners but not so much good in tight combat, i'd say.

EDIT: Also consider Doublesided Lance instead of Quarterstaff: no knockdown but that pierce is very much better. And its still versatile allround tool to fight any style you need. But shure it has some upkeep. Since it seems you are trying to go cheap maybe no alternative for you.
