Shouldn't you just shut your face ? It's about internal balance within 2h family, not about powerlevel of proficiency. Gtfo, troll.

I'm talking about general game improvement, though. Make battles faster and more exciting!

I don't have a problem with shields. 1h+shield is a good soft landing for newbies.

Well, archery, yes. Archery's good too, but won't teach new players much about melee mechanisms. Shielder's perfect though, no need to do all that difficult manual blocking, can just focus on holding RMB.

2h and poles on the other hand are excellent way to teach lmb, crush weapons are prime example, you dont even have to choose direction, just use overhead.

Yes, quite true again. The time they'll be forced to spend spectating will teach them a lot when they die due to just trying to spam.

With barmace build ? with great maul build ?  :rolleyes:

It give as much chances for spectating as 2h. You can't block forever, and game is won by killing people.

Try it yourself. You need to block even more with those weapons than a normal 2h.

One block then overhead ? Seriously ? if you fail, you have 2 another chances against those easymode shield users.

Woot, shouldn't german and danish have -1 speed for their awesome length ?

-1 speed for +3 lenght? That's indeed fair.

Oh, also, wait what? UrLukur, I thought you were suggesting that would be the perfect build for a lowbie. Then you go on about saying how you need level 31 and heirlooms. :lol:
