Beginner's Help and Guides / Re: A good polearm to use with a shield?
« on: April 14, 2012, 11:54:19 am »
I don't know why people always throw this class away as useless, I have 18/21 with 3 throw away points in shield and when i strap the kite shield on with a short spear the lol stabb commeth. The stab reach is soo short you will be jabbing them in the back of the neck ;). Of course it helps to be naked behind your shield for speed and while it takes maybe 7 hits to bring a str player down I've beaten a fair few faces In eu one one one.
The great thing about being a hoplite is your underestimated straight away all they do is spam which is easy enough to deal with, the one on ones just require good foot work and good kick timing. While it's possible to top boards like this I wouldn't recommend it by any stretch,war spear and shield is better even if you just equip the shield so you can get some extra reach on ladders when defending.
