Beginner's Help and Guides / Katana vs Heavy Bastard

« on: June 12, 2013, 09:57:58 am »

Is there much that makes the Katana better than the Heavy Bastard? It seems to be the more popular choice, but yet it costs far more, has +2 cut to -5 pierce, has shorter ranger, the same speed, and no secondary.

Good? Earlier you said perhaps going 7 powerdraw was unnecessary? I want a build that can shoot my masterwork longbow well, and also do good 1h fighting.

I guess the alternative is to go 18-21, with 6 powerdraw?

What was said above.


The polearm animation is inferior to the 2handers. Same speed, less distance. It has been tested and proven.

Poleaxes had their speed reduced by 2, and they were switched over to 2hand heirloom modifier. They know longer will show ingame if heirloomed.

I am not sure if the speed reduction was intentional, and whoever stealth nerfed just screwed up, or that is part of the mistake.

But if it is, I have to ask you to look at endgame item balance, because if you really think that poleaxes (which have lower effective reach than 2handers, while having higher requirements, while having comparable damage, while being a little lower speed before this, while stabbing far shorther) are too fast, than they have a little something coming.


Further Comparison: Now compare the Elegant Poleaxe to the Bec.

Elegant Polaxe ("Best Polearm" in game)
Price: 12026
weight 2
requirement 16
spd rtng 91
weapon length 132
swing damage 39, cut
thrust damage 26 pierce

Bec De Corbin
Price: 7312
weight 2.8
requirement 14
spd rtng 93
weapon length 120
swing damage 36, pierce
thrust damage 26 pierce


Bec requires 2 less strength, has the same thrust damage, has PIERCING damage on swings (effectively making it do FAR more than the cutting on the elegant, and only 3 points less than the cutting!), it has two more speed, and all for the trade off of 11 centimeters, and .8 lb's of weight.

Oh yeah, you also save over four and a half grand... using the superior weapon (Bec). Unnerf the poleaxes.


Even more comparison:

German Greatsword
Price: 11686
weight 2.5
requirement 14
spd rtng 93
weapon length 123
swing damage 38, cut
thrust damage 30 pierce
Can't use on horseback
Secondary Mode

More speed, higher swing distance (considerably), only one less cut damage (negligible), MORE piercing damage, less requirement, still cheaper.

Tradeoff? Shield damage bonus (which is pitiful with low cut damage that the poleaxes have), and half a pound.

Whoot!

I am fine with heirlooms not being much better - It makes sense to me.

Besides the problem with Poleaxes being switched to 2h modifiers....

Why was the speed nerfed on the poleaxes? They already have less reach, comparable damage, and less speed, and higher requirements than the comparable greatswords.

Why nerf them more? Is this a bug because of the switch over to the 2hand modifiers of heavy and powerful? Or was this an actual nerf by someone who does not know much about weapon balance (and screwed up the weapons in the process).

Yeah, my first step German Poleaxe went to heavy as well.

And why was the speed nerfed on the poleaxes? They already have less reach, comparable damage, and less speed, and higher requirements than the comparable greatswords.

Why nerf them more?

Actually, he was banned by the server at large for being one of the many goons to spam ban polls on me.

However, if an offense is large enough the bans might be shared, or similar information like what was given about yourself, however that doesn't mean an action on one server will carry over to the next one 100% of the time.

If I were you, Eckoll, I would be a little more careful with the "allegations" you hear coming from LLJK in the future. It was kind of demeaning having you call me out in front of the whole ATS server, and declare that I am under watch for the use of exploited game mechanics, and force me to PM you on the forums to get an idea of what you talking about. Just to find out that it was LLJK whining about their extremely high death count the other night.

I don't think I need to tell an administrator of any server to take out its trash, honestly. This thread should do wonders in pointing out who smells though.

It has been well established I was not performing an exploit. Again, there was not even TALK of there being exploitation prior to the kick/ban votes. They were only mentioned two days later. They are an excuse, trying to cover up the abusive behavior of the band of LLJK who tried to bully me out of their game.

Actually, Gaga enabled VOTEBANS, after which all votes failed. The reason the votekick passed was because about 40% (if not more) of the server was LLJK.

The allegations of "exploiting" are bogus. You have heard it from players on the server, and common-sense dictates that being able to thrust through shields, even using the "lawlpike" is not an exploitable mechanic.

Even moreso, nothing of the sort was mentioned during the kick and repeated bans. They only discussed overpowered thrusting. The first I heard of an exploit was two days later, when they apparently started telling other admins (namely Eckoll) that I was abusing some sort of awlpike glitch.
