We might not agree on all points, but I understand your point of view.

Agree to disagree. Can definitely agree that some of this comes down to individual play style, though.

If i see a GLB feint thrusts towards me i'll just spam because theres no way i could possibly take enough damage from it that wouldnt be made up with a succesful hit from my swings.

Feints in general aren't as useful against aggressive players. But when someone "spams" when I'm feinting a stab, I just cancel it into a block; the glance is only a potential problem if you release the animation far enough or if you're not positioned correctly.

GLA was one of my primary weapons back when Aus was active, but I would have hated it without the stab, even though I rarely actually released a stab on someone. Like Jona said, it's great for feint patterns, and with polearms it morphs into the right swing so well.

GLA has 4 more speed, isnt unbalanced and has a blunt thrust, thats quite the difference if you ask me. Still confused as to why you feint with slow polearms, but i get your point and in the end it comes down to opinions in a very offtopic discussion.

I'm sorry I missed this thread - Hot Chick with a Sword has one of these, so yes, buff it. Buff me and nerf everyone else.
