Its just funny that the Bec was so prevalent and bitched about in the past couple patches, at least in the NA community, and then the armor values got changed so the Bec got indirectly buffed even more. I don't care that much really, but its a balance oversight.
And that post should've said 2 handers had the advantage with the speed but that got taken away. A 2hander now has to rely on the animations to perform well, but Polearms are now a better choice for spamming, support, busting shields, stopping cav, and big battle server melee clusterfucks. Besides my love for the 2hand thrust animation, which is simply beautiful if not as useful as it used to be for lolstabbing, there is no reason for someone to go 2 hander over poles.
Buff bow speed or nerf xbows somehow to make them equal
Slightly buff Cav lance radius and HP, or reduce costs, they were hit a little too hard
Nerf Polearms SOMEHOW
Fix 13 shield skill bug (though hilarious)
Buff Cut damage
The patch introduced some drastic new changes to things like archery and cav, with good concepts but the values could use some hotfix slight adjustments.
Good patch as always though, always expanding the functionality of the mod and hitting balance problems with good ideas.
