Played a gen of 2H, it was fun but got boring by the end. Now playing polearms and not anywhere near getting bored of them. 2H has 1 real role: 1v1 heavy hitter. Polearms have tons and tons of roles you can play with them. Doing a gen of pole/1h now with a longspear and military cleaver.

I just wanted to help you, but nevermind. I don't criticize this thread, but I guess every word here is senseless.

Best class is pure 2hander. Simple as that. Then polearm very close. Hybrids are fun, but not best. Str is superior to agi and hybrids usually need good agi to get good wpf for both. I will say 24/15 2h is the Class. My main is a shielder, but its sooo inferior in any way to those. With the new versions of crpg the gap is even bigger, since blocking manually its not that hard and shields last for like 3 axe hits these day.
But the advantages of the 2handers are way stronger than those 3 "free blocks". First, longer reach, that is clear. Massive damage compared to 1h. Speed advantage for not carrying a shield. Better animations. Way better surviality. Much better equipment at the same upkeep rate. A much funnier selection of weapons. The only real con is  you are prone to ranged attacks, but with the massive rains of arrows nowadays you get killed with or without shield anyways..... Salute.

Its nothing personal,  i just really hate it when people criticize a legitimate thread to fluff their sack and whatnot. if you were being sincere, i appreciate it honestly. i actually did look at those links and while it gives some info, i really wanted to hear peoples stories, their logic. not statistics, or design purposes of each class. please don't take it personally man.

Cav, because I am not a peasant and I refuse to walk anywhere. I must conserve my stamina for the battle ahead, why waste it trudging in the mud like a hog?

I only accept duels from others of noble birth like myself. Those on foot are not deserving of duels, for to accept would lower one's stature. By dueling a peasant you elevate their status to be equal to one of noble blood. They should all be arrow'd and trampled when they get out of line and forget their place.

I don't see much point in using 1h and  not hybridizing. There's a whole bunch of extra slots just sitting there.

1h + pole.

Even if you have 1 wpf in polearms or 100-150, a pocket spear can help defend you and your teammates against cavalry.
