Buff Spears, support hoplites

[Plavor]

Since the newest patch,
many classes got nerfed and especially the hoplite becomes more and more weak.

Spears really needed the polestagger because their swings were just horrible in factor dmg.

Their only chance to deal dmg is with the stab, but still less dmg then a poleaxe or something.

Pls buff swingdmg or generally dmg of a warspear    or maybe improve it in another way.

Discuss.

Well, definitely not bringing polestagger back

for hoplites: remove penalty of using spear with shield. Doesn't have a place in crpg anymore.


spears got nerfed more than other pole arms, and I DON'T think buffing the side swings is the answer. Further personifying that they are spears, increase thrust damage by like 2 or 3? a MINOR buff. And really that's all. just to counter the nerf.

p.s. holy shit this turning patch nerfed the shit out of daggers. Fast attacks so you can't hardly turn them at all. And you have to start the attack slightly turned or it will glance. and to defend yourself with chambers only to not be able to hit the enemy ith thrusts and overheads, AHAHAHAHAHA so bad, so bad. Don't evens ee why it affects 1hs anyways...

remove damage penalty or base it off length, and make shield bash action~

It was interesting playing with new patch. The slower rotation did hurt my playstyle as a pure hoplite.

Yeah hoplites attack 1 attack direction nerfs the class enough already. Any penalties for it should go.
