So you don't like the solution. You'd prefer everyone else be nerfed to accommodate your poor weapon choice (for the task) and balanced build? You want the damage of a strength build while using a cut weapon plus all the benefits of a balanced build? lol, ok then.....
Poor Weapon choice? Go to hell with your suggestions, I'm not gonna EZ mode this game just because you say so.
Also, Balanced builds now got f*cked in the a** because the "best of the two worlds" mechanic does not work anymore, since AGI is next to useless these days.
Also, the Elegant is the most expensive Polearm in the game. It's paired with the GS', and near a Flamberg's pricing. It SHOULD be good if it costs so much, right?
