1H has ridicule right swing bonus and arab sword is way longer in the end than longsword and reaction time is indiffrent because shielder can counterattack even a katana, and pole users get spammed to death. 1H is OP. Not saying that 2h isn't...
HUH 1h is op now? when did this happen this is the 2nd time i heard this lol
and so what if the weapon has longer reach,here remember this this knowledge is golden
Hi there
I did a new and more accurate test and actually recorded the main part of it and posted that on youtube.

As you should know the weapon reaches of 2 handed, 1 handed and polearms are quite a bit different depending on type and direction.
The shortest of them all is the polearm stab.
Here are numbers you can add to reaches of weapons to equalize all of the weapons and their attack directions.
Polearms :
+0 Stab
+15 Overhead
+23 Right
+15 Left
+30 If you stab while mounted or holding a shield
2 handed :
+65 Stab
+45 Overhead
+30 Right
+30 Left
1 handed :
+40 Stab
+30 Overhead
+40 Right
+15 Left

pole users get spammed? you need to use more footwork then im a pole arm this gen and i rarely get spammed by anyone they have it rough though i admit.they have the shortest animations of the game and due to the excessive length of their weapons they get huge ATH nerf(length of weapons slow your character down) if you learn how to manouver with the weapons they are quite devastating
even then 1h is easy to block when fighting them but for some reason most people cant block the overhead of it(it tricks there eyes or something) you can just walk into there attacks and half the time they glance(its a HUGE con of 1h)and the GLORIOUS thing about polarms is that there animations let you hit people in there sides if you maneuver right angle if you are at a higher angle the right maneuver you can jump over peoples blocks and hit them in the heads with it its fucken hilarious i never mastered it with any other class
fuck nerfs,fuck buffs,fuck stuff being op literally EVERYTHING in this game has been nerfed at some time or another all it does is fuck up the balance
learn to use foot work,learn to block, feint and hold and you will fuck anyone up with anything you will be "OP"
nerfs dont help trust me
and like people said manual blocks have more force field then shield why?because shield has been nerfed repeatedly......
