So we should make the long voulge turn into a voulge after it breaks in the middle of battle too :P

Don't be ridiculous.

Tried playing long spear again recently, im glancing about 50 % of my hits, I think it needs a bit more than just becoming balanced. Maybe a point or 2  added to its damage, as 29 p is quite low
I like to fart on cold windows and lick the condensation :D

The problem is that glancing with stabs is dependent on armor more than anything else. Including speed bonus, distance, turning etc.

Against low armor, the long spear is borderline OP due to the possibility of instant stabs, but it's shit against strong armor because of random glancing.

I suggested lowering the weight of long spear and pike to the other balancers. Would make them worse if ganked because easier crushed by mauls and more prone to weapon stun, but it would make the turn-rate better for maneuvering the stabs to make them glance less on heavy armour.
I voted Gurnisson cause of his fucking bendy pike, I swear noone can roflcopter stab like he can.

...or you could just leave them as they are right now. You still see them, people do good with them but without shredding whole teams apart like they used to way back.
When west germany annexed east germany, nobody moved a finger too.

You don't glance if you are using your speed right, I'm about to try a 12-27 build (to test proficiencies of what i would have at lvl 36) and i expect to use my speed more than anything else since 4 power strike isn't much. Also aim for the face you get like no glances if you hit there
