FIX THE POLEWEPS

[SoA_Sir_ODHarry]

POLESTAGGER is ok but not for every weapon in Poleclass...

My Suggestion is:
too rework the hole Pole Weps by dividing pure stab weps like Pikes and Spears and Swingabel Poles like LWA and Polaxe ect...
Polestagger is simply unbalanced at the current State.
Its ok and reasonabel for Stab Weps but why the hell Weapons like LHB should have Polestagger????????
IMBA
Those Exampels are weps which make their Dmg with the Swing and simply not belong in the Poleclass.
They need too be moved too the 2H Wpf or a new class because u fight with them like u fight with a 2h sword...
only difference is that they got polestagger CHEAT and also they r the 2nd Wep for cavs and Inf Stabbers....
This also would have the effect that there r much less peeps choose too be LancerCav becuz they r much more dedicated then.
Also it will decrease the amount of Stab hoes which (for my taste)(not becuz of chase )
r too many right now and plague the melee INF battelz.
Its also a Major Balance Question.
Pole users can be Cav ,Hoplites ,Maulers and Swing Spammers at the same time and as an add they have 2 cheats (Cav n polestagger)
In compare too the other Wpf:

-If u choose 2h (Wpf) u can be Mauler or 2H
-If u chosse 1h           u can be shielder or half 2H
-IF u choose Archery  u can be Archer
-If u choose Throw     u can be Thrower
-If u choose x Bow     u can be BF3

just take pole stagger away.  problem solved.  There will be an initial wave of crazy *give it back* but it will die down.  All polearm weps hit like a truck.  No reason to give them an unfair advantage.  They don't need it.  Even the two direction and one directional spears dont need it to be an effective wep.  **Solved**  lock thread.  :-)

[SoA_Sir_ODHarry]

well i think for Hoplites and Pikes its legit...
even if  LoLPikes need an own Class

[Ptolemy]

No. Kill polestun. Save a kitten.

[Momo]

No. Kill polestagger. Save a kitten.

This.

Add the option get rid of pole stagger all together.  That vote will win every time.

[Adamar]

Good thread. I was surprised when I survided a hit from a great big axe, more so when I couldn't react against the 2nd hit.

[SoA_Sir_ODHarry]

no i wll not kill polestun with a vote

[Malaclypse]

All polearm weps hit like a truck.

Side-swings on Spear, War Spear. These and other attacks in the polearm class need a damage buff when stagger is removed.

I hereby solemnly swear to drink a beer and eat a pizza the moment stagger is removed.

[Brrrak]

I hereby solemnly swear to raise spear damage by 15 the moment stagger is removed.

That's an awfully high amount.  Unless...

(click to show/hide)

Polestagger won't be removed.

Which is a shame, because it's terribly easy sometimes to stunlock a person with the lhb.

[cmp]

I meant removed from spears, obviously. And removed doesn't include changed either.

[Rebelyell]

hmm....
at last something what can be interesting

[ArchonAlarion]

Is there some way to give Knockdown to poles to get rid of the polestagger, but without actually giving them knockdown? Like, do cut and pierce attacks kd, or can only blunt attacks kd?

[Ptolemy]

The fuck? KD is worse than stagger.
