Tell that German and Danish GS :rolleyes:

Seriously, polearms balance is so fucked up in this mod that damage output of some of the best two handed swords is considered weak among their two handed polearm brothers.
1 less cut damage (German) or 1 more cut (Danish), but you get +4 pierce (German) and +2 Pierce (Danish) and a +2 to speed (both).

I agree that it's definitely not a "weak" cut dmg, they all have good swing damage. And +/-1 cut damage isn't really that big.

The thing with the Glaive is that it has a very good speed relative to length, same with many polearms/2handers, while still doing good damage.

And regarding damage output. I'd say the +2 speed gives the Danish/German a higher damage output than the Glaive.

This game isn't about being skillful as much as its about saying things in general chat that enrage people who then go to murder you but in their rage they make dumb mistakes which gets them killed.

The animations of the glaive are retarded, so is the speed. The 90 speed glaive is not really slower than its 2h brethren, faster if anything.

People should stop justifying their calls for nerfs when it's only based on duel experience on EU 3 and duel like experiences on Melee only.

Glaive's perfectly fine it sucks at the very moment a team mate appears next to you and you have to pay attention not to get stuck/teamhit.

Did 3 gens with poles in which I repeatedly used a loomed glaive. It's pretty much unusable in siege due to the likelihood of getting stuck in walls with it and is only second choice in battle too (just go to EU 1 or whatever and check for yourself. There's like that one glaive user playing at best [who's only using it for lulzy outranges anyway] while pretty much everyone else's using weapons like the various kind of (pole)axes, spears, staffs and hafted blades.)

Gods, how in hell is 90 speed glaive faster than it's 2h brethren? Most of the swords in that range are 92+ speed.

Only «sword» in that range has 86 speed. (do not forget that 3 of 4 Flamberge's attack has Polearm animation)

Also unsheatable and cost twice more

Stop nerfing shit, learn to counter a weapons strengths and learn some tactics.  If you are slower than your enemy and they outreach you, then probably not a good situation you got yourself in.

Words of wisdom folks thx new sig if you don't mind good sir :wink:
