1h shield is too difficult at the moment

[Xant]

Naw, that is probably due to the way 2h stab animation is nowadays, it still hits once the animation is past the stab, so you probably lowered your block early.

Also seems to happen if you block with your shield after the stab has been "in the air" for a while. Then the 2h stab animation finishes and still hits you even though you've got your shield up.

2h stab animation has two phases, people think after 1st phase that 2h missed and open up then get killed, need to wait until it hits your shield before try to counter attack. Its a brocken animation.

2h stab animation is way too long. Stopped counting how many times I lowered my block because I thought that 2h stab already missed me when it was actually still in the animation.

Meh, as a poleuser, I don't mind. It really helps seperate the short and powerful polethrust from the long, slow, and tricky 2h one.

Just chamber them. They are so slow that its almost more difficult NOT to chamber them.
Its just not worth to block them.

I unveiled the original post just so I could down vote it.

Hm, I usually don't risk it with chambering because my ping isn't the best, but I'll try

nerf 1h and shield moar, real men do not hide behind the shields.

They hide behind very long sharp objects!

Thread rez.

This is one of the funniest threads I've read in a while.

They hide behind full-plate and 2-mile long 2h'ers.

So you want the old animation back?

Remove vs shield bonus from poleaxes thrust attack. Right now bastards just pokeing your shield to shreds with 2 hits.

Board and sword is soooooo much fun.
Took me 1400 hours of 2h to make that change :-)

Ill have to make the following assumption:

People who are keen, have gamesense and in best case are able to adapt, will be good with every class.

With 1h u simply face different "problems" you have to "work around".

Its challanging, much easier and much harder, depending on the opposition u face.

IMHO, 1h is the only logical consequence for every veteran ;-)
I dont regret it.
