* Great Maul / Long maull - Way to high STR needed. Reduce it. NO point in making it require 24 whilst you can wield the most Poles/2h weapons having 15 STR. Clearly gives it an advantage to agi-stackers. STR stackers do make a lot of dmg but in order to use a maul we cant have any impressive amount of ATH which makes us slow AF, whilst agi stacking people get the speed AND the speed bonus which is just silly. Seems to be pointless using a maul, since agi stacking people do around the same DMG if not more due to Speed bonus. Should NOT be like this.
Hmm some way your right. It's kinda non-sense playing great maul around lvl 33-34
solo pvp (yes I know you all are around 35-37 where you can get more agi but this is something clearly unreachable without strat battles or tons of time in an old game).
You need the crush through with great maul if you cant chamber attack, you wont get a 2nd chance to attack after your first fainting clearly overhead or leftside swing attack.
I mostly have a setup like 24/18 with lvl 33 (Two Handed: 155) with +1great maul 44b speed 81 length 68 (mostly 2hits). A pure lvl 35 2handed on me would get 18/27 wpf Two Handed:198 takes 3 hits to take down heavy armored great mauler (2 for medium armour great mauler).. pvp you cant use great mauls in fair battles.. take a comrad get some breath and hit with it from sides or behind, or from ladders..
Only advantage is the reduced debuff from great armours, so arrows and stuff like this at least wont onehit you all the time and medium gear is kinda fast
Since the costs were raised from ~820g and the stats got nerfed this is just
a nice funny toy to bash shielders on siege trails. I think this is realistic and fine, just get down the imansive needed str and increase the crushthrough str influence so if you want crushthrough so badly you need more flesh on your bones to get through
also you have one free slot
you can now carry an excutioners sword as 2nd weapon or invest in other gear (I prefer a 1slot shield for myself) anyway the speed advantage should be enough when you normaly fight with great maul to enter the fray
Best wishes
and sorry for my bad english
