[kinngrimm]

the following weapons and their speciality as i suggest they should be

Maul
Can't use on horseback
Knockdown

Mallet
Can't use on horseback
Unbalanced
Knockdown

Great Maul
Can't use on horseback
Crushthrough
Unbalanced

Long Maul
Can't use on horseback
Crushthrough
Unbalanced
Knockdown

[Tot.]

Mallet with no crushthrough? Why on earth would anyone use it then?

[POOPHAMMER]

no

[Earthdforce]

So get rid of crush except great maul and long maul?

Yeahh no

[rustyspoon]

No.

It's not like those lighter weapons crushthrough with any regularity anyway.

[Hrafn]

You dont like mauls because u are very defensive player. To defeat mauler you should be offensive and use footwork

[Gravoth_iii]

Nope.

[Xol!]

No.

We already have the bar mace class of weapons, the maul class is specifically designed for crushthrough.

[Danath]

yeah that first post is badly thought out.

My mistake, I mean not thought out (at all).

I still say mauls should not be able to block.
From the realism point of view, these things weight tons (ok, that is exaggerated, buut they are quite heavy) you can not wave them like sticks.
From the game balance, mauls break blocks,  so they need a similar disadvantage.

ONly if they get the same speed as other weapons.

That actually isn't a half bad suggestion

They do get a similar disadvantage.. They're unbalanced, very slow, & in most cases VERY SHORT.

Crushthrough is decent with a supporting team, without a team you're slow, with a short weapon, that is also unbalanced & a sitting duck to anyone who's played this game long enough to know how to deal with crushthrough.

should be no problem 1v1 a crushthrough weapon, unless you have 0 athletics and are using a short 1h weapon.

full str mallet is op, allways ct and u cant outspamm it

I disagree, full str and any crush through is more a disadvantage IMO since you cannot move fast enough to maneuver your short, slow, unbalanced weapon.
Anyone with athletics and who isn't a Zergling should be able to out range/out spam especially easy if you have 0 athletics.

Crush through almost always? I can agree with that though. That's the trade off for not having any athletics to position yourself.
