so the danish gs should have more stab damage than the german gs because its more expensive?

What the hell does 2h have to do with this?

Sorry blackmilk, I don't understand.

These weapons have special piercing points, unlike the weapons you've mentioned.

Like others said, this thread is called: Internal poleaxe balance.

So please, stop posting such nonsense.

It was an example.

Well you said that the elegant poleaxe should have more stab damage because it's more expensive and I was wondering if this should apply to other type of weapons (such a greatswords), too.

That's the piercing point of the Danish and German greatsword. Since you obviously didn't know.

The stab of a polearm is logically going to have more power by default because it is a much better stabbing motion for your body, the 2h stabbing motion is retarded.

Xant and his nitpicking again.

I said "special" piercing point, the ones you can find on poleaxes.

A tip of a sword that can stab to 2 meters won't have the same power, like the poleaxe's piercing point.
Unless you halfsword with it, but that's totally different, could we leave 2h out of this? Has nothing to do with the topic.

Want to nitpick some more?

okaaayyyyyy soo :

German Poleaxe has a higher damage output than the Elegant Poleaxe, but is slower and not as long which seems fine to me.

The Poleaxe again is longer, has a WAY higher stab damage and a slighty higher swing damage than the Elegant and it's also way longer so I guess the poleaxe needs a nerf and the "internal poleaxe balance" or how you call it should be fine.

you are making a good point!  however the elegant is just inferior to the other two,  not stat-wise,  but in practice. 
giving it a damage buff  would nullify the germans existance,
nerfing the poleaxe wouldnt help the elegant becoming an option.

thats my reasoning to change the elegant, and not the other two.

may be the german one should have the best damage stats, the other two would have speed for one, the other length?

Oh, so it's "special" now? What makes the poleaxe piercing point special? Did its mommy call it special? Is the two-handed sword piercing point strictly non-special?

Want to be retarded some more?

wasnt it better in the past?
damn straight - it was the pimp shit of all weapons. Pretty much all the tin cans (including myself) used it. The main tactic was fly into a cluster fuck and run and swing in a mad frenzy, kill 3-4 guys and get killed. Ahh - those were the days. By the way, dying in the cluster was good, cause that's how you used to get xp and gold.

It's shorter, a different part of a weapon, dedicated only to piercing, unlike the sword's blade.
So yes, it's special.

You must be really bored to pick on bullshit like this again.
Go and nitpick on somebody else, Xant.

Xant, you've failed, give it up.


P.S. Lactose elegant poleaxe was way too OP in the past, i think they slightly overnerfed it.

P.P.S. i miss my mw german poleaxe with ~98 speed from the old days :D

It's a shorter, different part of a weapon. So? Why does that automagically make it better? Sword's point is also dedicated only to piercing, you're not going to be slashing anyone with it. If you think you need to have a point like that to make a sword, you could take a look at cleavers. Or is it being a "different part" somehow making it magical in your mind?
