New two-handed thrusting swords: Estoc

[Tears of Destiny]

Do you have models (and the required permission to use them) for these?

[Phew]

Lately I'm finding 2h hiltslash to be way more annoying and OP than the 2h thrust; guys with 92 speed 2h are double-hitting against my 100 speed weapon because they are able to strafe left while turning into a right swing.

Give it war spear-ish stats, and I don't see a problem with this proposed weapon.

Somewhat biased view, since a stab is the worst attack against a sheilder. That being said, I wouldn't mind similar stats to the war spear, more swing damage though because its cut and maybe 30-31 pierce.

Well, they can still do the 'stab past the guy, then drag it into him after he's dropped his block' thing, which is pretty rage-inducing. I also only play siege, so mostly fighting in close quarters where lolstab isn't too common. I can imagine it dominates battle though.

Yeah man, wouldn't that be baller in cRPG?  I think it kinda fits the stats you were looking for, plus is historical.  I'm gonna harrass Tydeus, cuz there's a few Warband models of it floating around.

1+ for estoc

So here is my idea.

MW hand and a half estoc.

press x (polearm mode) with shield out (hoplite).

(click to show/hide)

polearm mode typically gives at least +5 damage
