But it makes no sense for 2h sword to do less damage close to the hilt, if it's the blade?!?!?
USE YOUR BRAIN VIBE PLS
this is totally wrong, not just because of the swingspeed, but even most katanas aren't sharp near the hilt....
in vikingr they made it right, so to say....
If i remember right, in reality also greatswords made more blunt dmg then cut, used like the barmace, but this is something that doesn't belong in this thread

My suggestion: to balance polearms, give them a
small stagger when striking with the hilt (full polestagger or knockdown would be too much)) and/or maybe quarterstaff dmg?
