SHIELDERS hide your shield on the back if 1 on 1 a mauler. The shield won't help at all, and only make you slower.
Removing your shield leaves you exposed to weapon stun on held sideswings. Also, putting your shield on your back does not make you any faster.

learn to play.
This is the best opinion about this thread.

Great maul is not a crushtrough. It's a way of life.

The goal of Strategus battles shouldnt be to deprive your enemies of players, but to have full roster both sides and have the gear/tactics/strategy win the day rather than lack of merc support.

I'd just leave it there...

Trying great maul for the first time on siege with 21/18 build, 7 PS and the same peasant gear for the whole map.

Now just imagine how it could be with heavy armor considering almost no block was needed for most fight.

Try doing that in a battle server before showing screenshots.

Yeah the maul is a weapon which is kid of designed for siege play, especially defence.

Narrow fighting space, reduced speed from walking on walls not to mention the fact that siege players do tend to block alot less than battle :P

Mauls are totally over-the-top on siege. Two maulers on top of a ladder completely lock it down, and can get 15+ kills a round without even having to block once.

To me though, the worst part of maulers is that their weapon is so heavy, they just have to block you once then you are weapon stunned for an eternity. So the oft-repeated mantra of "just spam the mauler" is totally bunk, because as soon as they block you once, your weapon is slower than theirs for the next attack.

I say don't remove crushthrough, but make all weapons with crushthrough unable to block (except chambers). After all, if you use a weapon which nullifies your opponent's blocks, you shouldn't be able to block either. Realism-wise, it's ridiculous to watch someone with a 20 lb rock on a stick parry a longsword/katana all day like they are using a fencing foil.
