Spathovaklion suggestions

[Shaksie]

Ho there good fellows.
Feast your eyes upon this monstrosity:
Spathovaklion
weapon length: 75
weight: 2
difficulty: 13
speed rating: 96
weapon length: 75
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 27 blunt
slots: 1
Knockdown
Cost: 6131

Slow, short, quite weak, not particularly cheap.

I propose a high tier; balanced (by that I mean not unbalanced, ie. you can feint with it more easily)
Spathovaklion
weapon length: 87
weight: 2.8
difficulty: 13
speed rating: 96
weapon length: 87
thrust damage: 22 blunt
swing damage: 27 blunt
slots: 1
Knockdown
Cost: 11002

In it's current state it's pretty similar to all other blunt 1h weapons and like them, I've not found to be useful for anything. Overall I've found that they are in fact weaker than sword, significantly slower, shorter and just feel awkward at times.
To quite frank, I still think that this could be more powerful (buff all but cut weapons etc.) but that would incite rage from those cut enthusiasts.

Discuss?

Im not sure you can just change weapon reach. In fact i know you cannot. Unless a new model is made.


Moreover at 75 reach it is a good halfway between the flanged mace and military hammer. The only change i would recommend is a solid stab 25b

Needs to be slower if it gets longer.

I think its fine. Its another fine mace now an fits in with the rest

You find 1h blunt weapons useless? Hah!

1h blunt weapons are not weaker than swords. I'd take 27b over 32c (NCS) any day, because blunt man, blunt. From when I have played on NA it seems that you guys wear a little less armour than we do in EU, but when the average body armour is about 55, 27 blunt is going to do more damage than 32c. And then the knockdown. As someone else said it occupies a good spot in between the flanged mace and the military hammer, both excellent weapons. In fact the military hammer is my all 1h favourite. On top of that it is also black and quite thin, which makes it harder to spot.

Your proposed stats are just ridiculous and they require a changed model. I'd rather suggest you check what blunt and cut do to armour comparatively and adjust your opinion about 1h blunt accordingly.
