buff bastard weapons in 1handed mode

Buff it for 1h use... don't buff it for 2h use.

YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED HOPLITE! HOPLITE IS EVEN WORSE! RAWRAWRAWRRARAQRQWRWRAWR!

i did, and it isn't a dueling class, and it never should be good in dueling imo, but they should get an overhead stab though.

I'm not saying they should be GOOD in dueling, but having one attack direction that is so slow anything but mauls can spam them... That's just too much!

Hoplite is crap for duelling. But has the possibilities of both a shielder and a pikeman when it comes to teamwork. You can turtle up and let you friends do the dirty work when you are attacked, and be extremely annoying if not deadly to those that attack your friends. The needed behavior is very different from all other classes, but the class can be used properly and quite effectively.

I know. I have a full built hoplite alt. But it really needs a buff. Just giving it one more attack direction is all it needs, if not that a speed buff. Jus taking away the speed penalty when you use it with a shield would be good enough. I'm not saying it is USELESS I am saying it is the most underpowered melee option.

Then we agree

I remember this being discussed a couple of times already in the past, never been addressed.

A whole new game style would open up with this change. I for one would make a 1h/2h hybrid with longsword or something.
Fuck I would even make a 1h/2h/shield/throwing hybrid with that change lol

[Soldier_of_God]

once again, its a great idea. maybe the devs will think its a good idea some day.

kinda agree ,
but the problem with the buff of hoplite jarlek, would mean that somewep like awlpike gets an buff which would make it OP.

Awlpike unusable with shield and/or a revamp of its stats. Just because one weapon would be OP then doesn't mean that a whole class should be useless for it.
