I don't use a long spear. Also it's the shittest weapon you can use for 1vs1.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

I use the Pike and Long spear all the time. Its what I do. That said, this is a bad idea. The long spear is effective for what it is:

Anti-cav and infantry support.

It does not need any buffs, of any kind, as it is completely effective on the field in it's current state.

Try making a support only build and choose only a support weapon and then go around bragging around the forums with your k/d.  :rolleyes:
See, I dont think there is much supporting in cRPG. There are weapons that are less effective in a 1 vs 1, but they can still rack up kills in groups. What do you mean with a support only build? All builds have a weapon that deals damage, when you are succesful you deal loads of damage, thus kill a lot. Thus K/D is skill. Please name one of these support builds of yours.

The only one I can think of is a long polearm weapon, like a long spear. It does 26p whenever you succeed in 'supporting', its not exactly supporting when its deadly.

Lol. I and Siiem made longspear STFs and our K/Ds were perfectly fine. Killed a LOT of people in 1v1 too.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

So if long spear is such a great dueling weapon 1vs1, it is good support weapon on groups and it can counter cavalry then why is it that a pikeman always switches to another weapon when they go fight 1vs1? I've seen like 2 guys who dont carry a backup weapon for that reason. Not to mention that only noobs have lost against a pike 1vs1. If these claims were true about pikes then it must be the bestest weapon ever yet there is only few of them compared to other classes.
Why is everybody telling me to think? I think, I just don't show it.

I understand you see a support build as something that isn't succesful in a 1 vs 1. A longspear character's purpose is stabbing people, when is a longspear character succesful? When he is stabbing people. Who is the better longspearer (support build)? The guy with 15-3 or the guy with 6-8?

Everyone's purpose in this game is dealing damage, there are no builds that do not have dealing damage as their main purpose (exception is a 13 shield build). Everyone's purpose is essentially getting kills. Some choose to hunt game changers and might get 1 kill that wins the round for them. So K/D doesn't perfectly cover someone's skill, but still it gives quite a good impression of someone's skill.

I believe I'm making perfect sense here, please tell me why if I'm not.

My build and purpose in the game is not to get kills. I couldn't care less what my k/d is.

I agree. Why shouldn't you be able to duel with a long spear anyways? Makes no sense.
