You seriously did not just compare the Great Long Axe to a Military Hammer?
You are actually comparing apples to oranges. You are comparing a standard cut damage polearm weapon to high damage 1 hander blunt weapon
. Talk about tilting the odds to your side. Fine, sure I will play along:
You are comparing one of the longest weapons to one of the shortest weapons in the game. So basically you are telling me that the range that polearms get is fantastic and that you do get 2 free swings while a shielder is chasing you down. Btw it takes about 6 swings from a Great Long axe to eat a houscarl, I tested that out. So you are 33% done going through a shield just in the inital meeting before a shielder is even in rage to strike you.
Furthermore the damage you showed was incorrect. As to the damage dealt, lets assume a basic build for both players:
Strength 18
PowerStrike: 6
Wpf: 135
Against armour of 48.
Health points: 55
Great Long Axeweight 3.5
requirement 15
spd rtng 92
weapon length 125 <--Very long weapon
swing damage 46, cut
thrust damage 16 blunt
Damage values
* Minimum: 19
* Average: 31 --> Kills assumed target in 2 hits
* Maximum: 43
Military Hammerweight 2.8
requirement 12
spd rtng 96
weapon length 70 <--Very short weapon
swing damage 29, blunt
thrust damage 0 pierce
Damage values
* Minimum: 16
* Average: 23 --> Kills assumed target in 3.
* Maximum: 30
I still don't get what you are complaining about, if anything the polearm guy has the advantage.
