[STATS] Halfswording should use 2h prof

[Zisa]

No.  They should use whatever wpf their starting "class" is.  Otherwise 2hers that can halfsword should use 2her or polearm wpf, whichever is greater.
Since the base class for langes/fighting axe/mil sickle/etc is 1her, it should use 1her.
throwing weapons = throwing wpf
2hers/halfsworded = 2her

By just having them use "whichever is greater" we're getting into the territory of why bother having wpf classes at all.

So does it scare you more to face throw axe with 140 wpf or throw axe with 1h 1 wpf... in melee.

What?

With what I'm saying the thrower would have that 140wpf on his side which would be a buff, obviously.

I'm not actually against the idea of buffing people equally.

I do not get why you are against these bastard weapons using highest prof, by your logic all bastard weapons use 1h?

Regardless, if someone is hybrid they will be less effective then a pure, and having a different mode for these weapons seems sometimes pointless - how many other idiots besides me uses langes 2h etc?

Me.   

And I always have to go with a balanced (IE:  Gimped) build so I can have enough wpf in both 1h AND 2h to do so.  Anyways, the point is that if you're going to make 2hers use 2h prof in halfsword mode, then other weapons should use their base wpf when used in THEIR alt mode as well.  It's the only fair way.

[Blashyrkh]

can polearms get a 2h mode since 2h have pole mode? I have no problem in poles would use 2h wpf.

Bump.

No.  Only the langes, fighting axe, and mil sickle would use 1h IIRC.
Bastard, heavy bastard, longsword, goedendag, spiked mace, morning star, etc would all use 2h.
Polearms get fucked, but they're versatile as is.

Okay, well, 120 people voted and almost 3/4 of them is playing a two hander would like to see this fixed.
