polestagger

Remove polestagger completely, give left swing to everything that is only stab/overhead and increase damage by 1 or so on all weapons

I found "Long Bardiche" speed 89 to be faster then the 92 speed greatswords while having same amount of wpf. Probably equal to the 93 speed "Great Sword". I also found "Long Bardiche" to be a lot faster in changing from a swing to a block then the swords.

Long Bardiche fast? I have 20 agility with a +3 long bardiche and it's much(!) slower than my 18 agility 2H character with a regular SoW.

Use the shortened military scythe then.

There's a reason it's underpriced.

Wow, I did not know there was a two-hander with polearm thrust.  I think I'll be playing around with this for a while.  So cheap too...so cheap.  A little on the slow side though.

Edit: I love it! Give it three or four more speed and add 10,000 gold to the cost. Do eeet.

YET ANOTHER POST!Don't listen to Blackmilk. He's the biggest 2h whiner I know. You should see the retarded comparisons he makes when he tries to argue 

are you okay?

why should I lobby for 2h when I'm a 1h?

Cause your stoooopid?

Because your a fanboy. We all know it.

Remove some of the polestagger, and thats all that needs to be done. No need to nerf polearm or buff polearm. Polearms is a great weapon class, and maybe the most played 2h class atm?

And to the OP, how much have u played c-rpg ? Because it doesnt seem like u rly know what consequences ur buff will have.

This is what I've always said. Leave the stun for the weapons who deserve it. The spears, the forks and those with only one or two attack directions.

[BlackMilk]

the stun?

Jarlek get the fuck off the forums and get back under the bridge.

Ty.

And you're a "1h, can't block for dear life" fanboy. We all know it

yarp, jarleks reflexes is the reflexes of an old person

Polearms are definitely the better weapon class compared to 2h. I draw this conclusion from comparing stats, personal feel and my k/d increasing from 2.3 as a 2h to 3.0 as a polearmer.

Polearms can have the polestun removed without any buffing. Let alone the retarded +5 the OP suggested, seriously, get a feel for stats.

Actually I'm a 2h

Shit's so easy I understand you have to crutch on it ^^

how about changing

(rand() >= 0.5 || agent->cur_blow.damage_before_soak <= 15.0)
-> strike2 is played instead of strike3 (short stagger instead of long)

to

(victim_is_not_doing_attack_animation || agent->cur_blow.damage_before_soak <= 15.0)
-> strike2 is played instead of strike3 (short stagger instead of long)

So the random component(50%) is replaced by the condition that the target is caught "offguard" and hit during one of his attacks. This would give polearms the non-random ability to cause a stagger on a successful interception while forbidding polestagger on a defending agent.

No, even worse than random polestagger is polestagger of which you exactly know when it happens. I wouldn't even have the slightest chance against Phyrex with this. You feint, he chamber attempts your feint, hits you and then immediately does a stab cause he knows that you'll get staggered. Please add a random component to this. Do the 50% on top of the 'during an attack thing'.

Or even better, remove it altogether, there is just no need for it.

How does 'victim_is_not_doing_attack_animation' mean that someone should be hit during one of his attacks by the way. I can't help but read 'not doing attack'.
