I actually like it quite a lot.
You know, the thing about me is that for some reason I don't like to play whatever I consider mainstream (a hipster habbit, I know), so with the lolstab removal I kinda felt polearms were the way to go, which means that for me it wasn't anymore. Now as the glorious 2h stab is back, I have an excuse to play polearms which I like a lot.
Maybe I should just grow up.
