Title: No speed bonus for heirloomed 2h blunt weapons ?
Post by: Werfried on June 15, 2011, 01:27:43 pm

I just noticed that every 2 hand weapon (at least the ones i own) gets a speed bonus from heirlooming, but 2h blunt weapons like the mallet or the bar mace don`t. They only get the +3 damage when they are masterworked.
Is there a reason for this? I mean, the bar mace or the mallet aren`t op. Only a few players use them.

For example the MW Danish Greatsword gets a +2 on speed and +3 on damage. I see no reason why the MW 2h blunt weaps shouldn`t get at least +1 speed in masterwork status.

Or some extra +dmg if not +speed

They get weight instead of speed which helps with knockdown.

It's the same thing for 1h maces (at least, it's like this for the military hammer).

Yeah. Weight increase is a more powerful mechanic than a +1 or +2 to speed.
I think they have it made heirloom wise. [although I don't see why bar mace is unbalanced anymore since it does not have crushthrough anymore. It is uniform in weight distribution weapon wise.]

Yeah, it seems the weight increase of my bar mace from 4.5 to 4.8 makes quite a difference to knock down more often.

But i have another question:
Does more weight make the weapon slower ?

No, it makes you move slower, though.
