3 weps that should not get polestun

[Patricklus]

there are lot that should not get it, but these are the easiest to spam.
staff, ironstaff, and spear. awlpike should not really have it either but i can deal with that one but those 3 are ridiculous

staff and ironstaff don't have polestagger because they have the knockdown flag.

[Patricklus]

well it def seems like that when they dont knockdown and you take a hit you get polestun

[Jarlek]

That can also happen with 2handers and 1handers. It's just that some weapons together with loads of wpf means you can attack faster then the recovery time.

[Paul]

Polearms who have the knockdown flag don't have polestagger. Checked in the code and tested.

is that a recent thing? could swear I stun with my wizards quarterstaff, but maybe thats just because I'm magical and awesome.

Some time ago staffs haven't had KD flag.

You can test it easily. Get a friend with good armor and equip a staff and a spear. Do right-to-left attacks with the polearm and tell your friend to not block the first attack while then trying to block the follow up. You will see an exaggerated stagger animation about 50% of the times when the spear hits, usually leading to an unblockable follow up. The staff will only produce the normal stagger animation and as long the defender doesn't make a mistake he will be able to block the second attack.

Staves can be mistaken to be stagger-able weapons because of their speed, especially if used by an AGI-oriented build vs a STR-oriented build. As Urist said, the difference can be seen by looking at the hit animation.
