Hello people!
Before i start i wish that all people who dont have any experience in those weapons, or who are jsut here to spew shit on polearms saying they are overpowered and blablabla can kindly get the f out of my thread (i guess we will still have some sadly)
It's my first thread in the game balance section. I wish to know your opinion on the poleaxes in this game!
I remember Vibe posting a thread about the (regurlar) poleaxe complaining about it's insane thrust attack (31p). At the time i was defending it's pierce attack but now I am asking myself questions. The first opinion i get from the community is : elegant poleaxe is the suckiest one, poleaxe is the master! So what troubles me is, why is the elegant poleaxe, on the site, at the top of the polearms and the most expensive one?
I will basically talk about the stats : The elegant poleaxe is the fastest one with 92 speed rating worst damage out of the lot and shortest range with it's german cousin. The poleaxe is the longest one with 141 length and the best thrust attack with 31p which is not neglectable because of the polearm insta-stab but it's the slowest (89 speed rating). There is also the german poleaxe, considered by people as the in betweener, very well balanced, 90 speed best side swing damage decent thrust attack
I'v been told that the elegant poleaxe was better before and got nerfed, is this true? did it get the nerfing bat too hard?
You can say it has the best speed, but when you know what your doing, 89 speed rating is not bad!
The poleaxe has something really good, the range, which can with good footwork get you out of a 1h range and it also has very good damage! the speed, imo is just a little minus compared to it's advantages.
what do you guys think? is there an internal poleaxe inbalance? if there is what is it? and your fix suggestion?
awaiting for your feedback
