Remove polestun and buff polearm thrust damage.

Yes, because for example 31 pierce on Poleaxe is not enough.

But 28 on the best spear is not enough. Not saying that polaxes shouldn't have a ok/good stab, but SPEARS should have WAY better stab then they do. Seriously just look at this!

It's just BS that it doesn't have a better stab. I can understand the low blunt swing damage and all, but the stab should be way better. At least the speed is decent.

Oh yea, let's compare it to the price equalant 2handers.
First the Morningstar:

And the Longsword:

Either give spears a better stab or make them much cheaper. I actually would like the price drop better because then we can actually have spears as the main strat weapons (which makes historical sense) for early armies AND not "unbalance" it by making them better at stabbing. Cause, you know, a poleaxe REALLY needs a better stab than a spear...
This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Last stats they usually have about 2% or so less then 2Hers... counting lance kills.

Anywho, keep polestun for it is lulzy to see the rage and is a funny counterpart to across-the-map-headshots, ninja couching and 2 hander wiggle lolstabs that just hang out there.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

... Easy solution to that, switch to 2h ...

Did you read my post? I said I'm already considering going 2H Mauler next gen, especially if I can find a way to bind attacks so I can't do anything but overhead.

No ... if they are, polearms are ridiculously OP because they were even with 2h in kills (or maybe they had more, in the last stats). Conclusion: nerf those OP polearms, getting as many kills as 2h even though there are twice as many 2h players!!!

I only play siege, and the last siege stats I saw had 2X as many 2H kills as pole. Siege stats are really the only ones you can look at, since lancers dominate battle. I don't anyone is complaining about the 0.8s stagger they would have endured had they not been 1-shot by that lance.

Yes, I did read your post. You said you played 5 gens with polearm, why didn't you switch to 2h 4 gens ago if you'd rather have the 2h attacks? Also maul has nothing to do with most of the 2h weapons.

Siege is noobfest anyway, no one cares about those stats.
Meaning lies as much
in the mind of the reader
as in the Haiku.

As far as I know polestagger will be removed from every polearm but 1handable spears. Cmp can make a (serverside) flag for that ability with WSE if I am not mistaken. Dunno where it is on his prio list though.

Polestun is fucking bullshit.

Sure you could argue there might be need for some stat balancing 2h - pole once it's removed, but polestun is just a broken gamemechanic (it was implemented with spears in mind, not greataxes and poleaxes)  and as a poleuser I'm so fucking happy to see it removed.

Then dev team has to go back to their drawing board and do some balancing I guess, because this is the only advantage polearms have to counter 2h statwise (in duels atleast).
