Nice update.

All that's needed are the speed buff on high damage polearms by a few points, damage buff on the low damage spears by a few points, and reduction in the speed penalty for hoplites (the damage reduction can go, too, but it doesn't matter too much).

Hmm, actually yes my hoplite alt need some love at the moment. If only we could make shield bash, it wouldn't be much of a problem though.

Play the game some more plz, or try 2h on a higher level. Im not even gonna argue with that :).
I gotta agree with GTX here, even with polestagger twohanders were WAY superior.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

Even as a polearm fan myself I still am glad polestagger is gone, the high agi polearm build is usually intended to take advantage of the retarded and fail mechanic that is polestagger, good riddance, it was stupid as hell. There are multiple ways to balance 2h with polearms now polestagger is gone so keep your pants on and give it time.

Why do people keep suggesting decreasing speed in weapons? Honestly compared to a year ago the game is slow as balls. We should buff the speed of polearms, 2h and 1h to make the game faster. The game is slow enough as is.

Im alot more bothered about the spear thrust animation than the lolstab.

He moves his spear around a little and WHAM it has suddenly thrust you,  over a huge distance.

Ok, let's give 2handers that op anmimation, 'cuss spears are TOTALLY overpowered.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances.

It's gone? Didnt even notice, about time though!

Shouldn't make much of a difference for heavier polearms, as there is still the weight based stun every weapon has?

Idk, havent noticed it aswell ^^

Now people can't use the 'OP polestagger' excuse when I beat them with a polearm. :)

lol ive used polearms for 7 gens in total and i have honestly never noticed killing someone using polestun so this new shit makes no difference to me at all, tbh i never used polearms for the stun it never came to mind for me ever. i used polearms because i love how they look. so for me its a plus because it helps me in battle now to not get polestunned by for example: Samfisher with his hafted blade.

I wish I could have this comfort while I use scimi  :lol:, so facehugging twats won't complain about ghost reach when they get slashed from a kick distance. Yesterday when equipment was fucked up I had mw Scimi, best patch ever  :mrgreen:

About the topic, I played earlier for some time and I didin't can't say that polearms need a buff, they were just as annoying as it used to be with the ridicoulus part about being staggered. Pity that I retired my polearm alt two days ago so I don't have a chance to test it on my own.

Pole-stagger was silly only because of the dance it made you do that indicated you were fucked.
And how!
