More stab

[owens]

^exactly.


Im using 1H this gen and would love the opportunity to stab a kick spamming 2H but instead you have to keep swiveling or kick yourself which is dangerous using a shield.

[Macropus]

Okay, to be serious, as someone already said - some weapons are just not supposed to have a stab (like skimitars and such), instead they have increased damage and speed, which makes a nice balance of all these weapons. Adding stab option for such weapons would not only break balance and make them overpowered, but also it would be ridiculous since you can't really stab with scimitar. Just try it IRL and you'll see 

[owens]

They were used to stab with.

but I agree.

Some weapons were used to stab and others are very pointy. More stabbing weapons even if the stab is useless is fun.

If you want more stabs then why don't we just get 4 attack-direction pikes again ...

[owens]

There never were.

Unless you mean swords of tears and looneytunes axe.


Look to me the stab is an integral part of a 1H as it allows you to stun those kicking at you and stab the heels of spin stabbers.

Bamboo spear ...

It is possible to stab with a scimitar, hence the reason for a pointy tip.

Not the best example, but watch deadliest warrior.

What Owens is getting at is you can do a thrusting attack with any weapon. So, why not in crpg?

Most responses have been;
- no its too hard because I might screw up attacks when spamming.
- it would become OP (even though most 1h glance and get stunned from a thrust)

I think it just put a fun spin on things.

Of course I'm the guy who thought the polearm thrust on the nodachi was the coolest 2h animation.

You guys are pathetic.

"Oh I might stab when I don't want to". First of all that is Piss weak. Secondly It took me 5 seconds to solve that problem with a secondary mode that "unlocks" the stab.

That doesn't sound like that bad of an idea, actually. Even so, I'd probably never use it for any of the 1hs that don't already have a stab, but there may be those who will appreciate it.

[owens]

Thanks San.

The im ashamed to admit came from chivalry where you could stab with any weapon.

The fact is if you were never meant to stab with a weapon they wouldnt have made them pointy. Very few well made weapons were unable to stab only a few crude axes and of course the flail were truly ineffective at stabbing an opponent. Even if the attack was no more than a longer range punch in the right spot it could stun or kill an opponent if aimed correctly.

In relation to the bamboo spear, It was never a power play. It was a good gimmick if you had light armour and a decent build but honestly 15 blunt has never really frightened anyone.

Please let me stab with an Iberian mace pls chadz pls

Anyhow i bet even a blunt weapon with enough force can hurt while stabbing it at yer face.

Idc tbh just felt like posting

[owens]

^It would take some teeth out I imagine.


The base values for the stab would have to be pretty low as by MW they might actually be half decent. Like the practice lance That thing is brutal dildoss. (pronounced dild--oss)
