Add weapon : Shortened Poleaxe

[Shaksie]

I believe a two handed weapon like this is needed :

Shortened Poleaxe
weapon length: 114
weight: 3.5
difficulty: 16
speed rating: 92
weapon length: 114
thrust damage: 23 pierce
swing damage: 36 cut
slots: 2
Can't use on horseback
Bonus against Shield
Secondary Mode

Secondary mode :
speed rating: 92 (should be same speed but other weapons have different speed for secondary weapons)
thrust damage: 26 pierce
swing damage: 28 blunt
Knockdown

Model would be the same as elegant poleaxe just shortened.
I'm not sure if other bonus v shields are the same as this, but the stab shouldn't have bonus v shield.

[Arkonor]

You forgot to add unbalanced to the two-handed version. Every two-hander with shieldbreaking gets unbalanced.

[Shaksie]

That is the point of it, there needs to be a semi reasonable non unbalanced two handed axe

Why?

[Arkonor]

I do agree with you but yeah the devs. obviously don't. Can see their side of it though.

But you are never going to get the same two hander to have shieldbreaking without unbalanced, 93 speed, two handed stab with 26 pierce and decent cut dmg on the swing. No sir that is not going to happen

Well some days ago i made this: http://imgur.com/a/oZHoM
Took the German Poleaxe though.

It's like 10 mins of work and could sure be polished a bit further

It looks good. But imagine holding that in real life. This would not be well balanced

[Torben]

poleaxe....

[Shaksie]

Why? Because there is a very large amount of shielders, at least on the Australian community there is and for two handers it is very inconvenient to use a slow and unbalanced weapon against shielders because they are more often than not much faster than a lumbering axe. Also, I made a few changes to it. And Meow, indeed it could . Arkonor, obviously the head would be slightly decreased in size and the handle would be thinned down to suit the weight and length of it. It's head is not very much larger than other axes in the game and it is longer than most.

imo unbalances weapons are more of a hold style

wait Australian oh maybe you would not know what i mean

unbalanced weapons are hard to feint with so you mostly hold your attacks with them
(like you make the enemy think your going to attack but you hold it long enough to wear they drop there block or try to attack to strike them)

have you tried this style of play?it takes some time to get use to but that is every style

[Shaksie]

Yeah I know how to hold attacks and what it does . But that's why they should make this weapon, to add a new bonus v shield weapon which doesn't require attack holding.

[Snoozer]

oh i see

i was  just making sure it was not just a NA term(did not want to confuse you)

I would like you to meet the fighting axe.

Fighting Axe
weapon length: 84
weight: 2
difficulty: 12
speed rating: 95
weapon length: 84
thrust damage: 0 pierce
swing damage: 32 cut
slots: 1
Bonus against Shield
Secondary Mode

The secondary mode is 2h.  And it's balanced.  Bonus against shield.

[Shaksie]

I have used that quite a bit. It is too short and is nimble - fast and weak. There needs to be one in between heavy (unbalanced) axes and that axe.

[Dezilagel]

I've never seen any point in making all the 2h axes unbalanced and think they should be buffed since like noone uses them, but whatever.

And I'm sorry, but the model (for the German) just looks derp
