Rebalancing the Great Maul's stats

[Tyr_]

PS.
The stab part is obviously true, but are you sure about the overhead? I don't think there's enough stun from it to give time for mauls main attack in before the swing follow-up connects.

Works 90% of the time for me when i fight with a Great Maul. Although its not really usable gains agi-builds with 24 or more points in it or Katanas. BUt im not sure if they just lack timing their, im using the maul rarely nowadays

This was fun to read

What the OP suggests would seem to need a completely new animation to be created for the GM. A new animation for just one weapon is unlikely.

From what I've seen, the first post is very well made. The idea itself both brings good sense to the realism and game balance. It is not a whining thread. It is not a nerf or buff thread, just offering reasonable changes.

Yet many people still dislike it, and make comments like "L2P". It's not even sad to me after this moment. I can't even feel sorry about you, community.

this community is full of whiners and full of people who want to nerf other classes to gain advantage to their class

Which is what causes all the rage. Classes are distant and very based on certain conditions. A two hander dies by missile-->nerf ranged. Shielder gets beaten in melee ---> nerf twohanded. Archer gets stabbed back by heavy cav ---> nerf cav. Something unlike other mods. Since you can change tactics if needed.

One example is picking the infantry class in native and carrying a twohander, one hander and a shield. If you see an archer about to shoot you, pull of your shield and one hand. If you see no archers around, pull of your great axe and gain the upper hand in melee. When the enemy infantry (shielder) gets beaten by your two handed axe, it means he should've had a twohander as well or play accordingly with his shield+onehanded. There's not many rage going around here, that if you get beaten it is purely your fault. Something unlike we have in crpg. Not saying it is possible to make it balanced, since the idea of levelling up and stuff is built on creating unfair adventages. Not to mention, the differences among classes. I don't really know what should be done, but it certainly needs a change.

As everything surely needs a change. Dialectics

Wait.....what's the counter to great maul? Spam? From what I have read that isn't the best since mails and 2h alike can hilt slash and turn at very hard angles between swings with no glance.
