A Polearm for Lactose!

[Lactose_the_intolerant]

Hello all

I'v had my share of cav recently and i fancied palying with the commoners, yes you, the footmen 

(and i also terribly lack of melee skills)

I just realy dont know what polearm to take

knowing i have 149 wpf in polearms what would you advise me?

the great long axe? the long bardiche? the elegant poleaxe? the poleaxe?

should take more notice of the speed? or the range? what would more likely turn me into a killing machine?

thank you!

Warspear. If in doubt. Take the warspear. Otherwise the LHB is good and so is the Glaive. I personally wouldn't take any of the lower axes, only poleaxes or GLA. For grinding I would suggest the Quarterstaff or M. Scythe. The M. Scythe is basically a cheap glaive. VERY good. The normal scythe is also a badass weapon but can't be sheathed. Still able to down horse and kill tincans with it.

take M. Scythe this guy seems just so nice!!

Polearms are really varied, we even dont know your build. For the most universal weapon I'd go with regular poleaxe because of its range, monstrous stab damage and still having bonus vs. shields. There is a lot of other choices though.

Elegant poleaxe. Because you want to show how rich you are

Poleaxe

Just backpedal and spam that shit. It also got a most devastating thrust.

Poleaxe is a beautiful weapon. Even with low wpf you can wreck people with a 24/15. For my playstyle, even with no S-Key hero antics, the thing is marvelous. The swings may be predictable as with most polearms, but you can get off thrusts extremely quick.

glaive + s key + left mouse button = all you need

Thanks for your answers!

I'm not extremly rich, cav is quite deer!

When i started i used to spam the long hafted spiked mace 

isnt 89 a bit slow if wanna spam the shit out of someone? i liked the glaive but i couldnt use it very efficiently!

what about the german poleaxe? any good?

i bought myself the poleaxe and the warspear to try out!

I only have experience in polearms with a 97 speed long hafted blade, but those days are gone, oh and a 12/27 warspear build. If I had to pick one purely based on stats I'd go for the poleaxe. 31 pierce is just madness, by far better stats wise than the other poleaxes.

Long hafted blade seems too weak. Very fast though, 92 speed is a lie!

Great long axe is obviously a great killing tool. 45 c with that speed, awesomeness.

I should pick either the great long axe or the poleaxe.

Keep in mind that anything that doesnt have a decent stab has a disadvantage while fighting in groups. Long polearms and 2handers really get stuck on everything around while swinging them.

Stab is rarely a good attack for close quarters gank combat. At close range you need to spin it to do damage, its very dangerous to spinstab with teammates around. Any weapon should use overheads in a groupfight situation, with the occasional side swings when you have a bit of room.

[Tot.]

Stab is better if you know how and when to use it. And you dont chop down anything behind you.

War spear, get one thrust-polestun and its over.
