Did they change the 2h right swing?

isnt hiltslash some stupid unrealistic feature?

(And thus, all hiltslashers went to play star wars knights of the old republic to be able to use a lightsaber again  )

Castor swing = hiltslash

Shit, I always thought castor swings were about things like ( when you have a long weapon and/or the agility advantage ) doing a right swing, going away preparing a left swing, waiting for the opponent to attack back and miss ( because you are an imp ) and catch him with the left swing while going forward again. This isn't hard to do when you have the aforementioned agility and weapon, although it looks less messy and random than happily running around your enemy, trying to get his swings to miss/bounce.

The 2h right swing was perfectly fine beforehand. It really didn't need a speed reduction.

Stab speed change is several month and thus patches old.

is this just not a start of another paranoia?

we had another one a few weeks ago when someone said upkeep increased and everyone came in stating it was true...
It was obviously just bs, paranoia and overreacting!

[Teeth]

A developer just stated the change. I was skeptical when I read this, but immediately noticed it, hiltslashes are impossible for me now. Cause I had trouble doing them before. Guess I don't have to bother anymore. I think this nerf gives the advantage to polearm. 0.1 of a second is really noticeable.

[Candiru]

This is not just a start of paranoia. They have definately changed it. Many 2hs I've spoken with says the same. And the reason why they did it is yet to be revealed. Because this is stupid. I want some kind of explanation why they nerfed it. Makes no sense. And yeah, people who says that it makes no difference you obviously havent played 2hander for long.

We all know 2 handers have been quite useless in strategus unless you were really skilled. And now they nerf it even more.

I noticed it a few days ago and I thought it was some silly ping lag. I didn't feel like playing anymore even though I didn't know this was intentional. So maybe it's time to try out something else.

Instantly respecced to polearm.

I would be fine with this nerf if the pole stagger was gone, but it isn;t. Instead of putting the new helmets ingame and fixing real problems they nerf a class in a weird way. Polearms already swung faster, guess we have to leftswing spam like 1h now.

Instantly respecced to polearm.

Definetily thinking about this, but damn I'll be lvl 30.

Think I might do the same

Not that i care, but lolwut ? 2h in strategus = 1-2(max)shot killing machines cause they get the best  efficiency weapons out of them all - cheap 2h axes . 1h get crappy short shit and shields that get destroyed in 1 swing of those axes and polearms get either spears/pikes or scythes that are long of course, but nowhere near the efficiency of axes in Strat.

2h's still have the advantage over polearms in 1v1's in almost every respect (when it comes to the weapons).

mw 2h has 93 speed.

Yeah, 1-2 hits at the most. Still, no cover from ranged so taking 1-2 arrows every 5 minutes does kinda hurt. But maybe 2h are not "useless" so yeah.

Most players take 0-1-2-even 3 skill shields in strat nowadays. And when you get into melee and are getting shot by archers , doesnt make much different if you;'re a 2h or 1hander.
