As a polearm GLA spammer i voted yes, we all need nerfs.
you know what? we keep getting "nerfs" because playing this game over and over just raise the average player skill on almost a constant basis.
so, nerfs are needed to protect newcomers (ffs...). that's why there are really FEW buffs and the REST nerfs.
fighting speed get slower and slower... archery speed getting slower and slower... arrow travel speed same thing.
in this slowness galore, no wonder people keep raising strength more now than ever.
as chadz said, we can't have the old and fast game speed back. would be too hard for nubs to get a hang of the game, would be too hard for who pings more than 80.
but i still think that we can't fight slower than this... would be a chess game.
