lol, with a short espada and 5ps I rarely glance on swings (stabs are another story), and when I do it's usually clear why, sure 2h/poles aren't bound by nearly as sharp rules, but it is still mostly clear why I'm glancing.
That's because you play in very light armor. So you get the maximum damage bonus out of your wpf (which is huge), and avoiding glances is also much easier with the better movement light armor allows. Nevertheless, I own a +3 LEE and a +3 ES (elite scimitar), with the same armor (naked) the scimitar is three times easier to use, despite the coolness factor of 1h stabbing people. LEE swings are much too weak to do acceptable damage to anybody with 50+ body armor, and the stabs are still subject to horrible hazards.
