compensate for taking away polestun

[IG_Saint]

Polestagger hasn't been removed completely, short and light polearms still have it. Just yesterday I got a couple of double hits and even a triple hit thanks to polestagger. The chance for polestagger does seem to be reduced a lot even on those short and light polearms.

This was on EU_6, incase anyone's thinking I just mixed up the NA with the EU servers.

hmm well sadly I haven't played rageball of late but if they didnt take it totally out and just reduced it they must of done it quite a bit but its better then taking it out totally.

Thanks saint

Not sure if EU6 is running new server software really.

Only EU1,2 and 3 are.

Give polestagger back to pikes or longspears. You already took away are spin stabs and made us 100% useless in situations where you are solo, and the loss of polestagger made us slightly less useful in team situations. Give us one or the other please :'(

I got killed by a jumping spin stab just this morning.

[Penitent]

full 360° spin stabs are not possible anymore, it wasn´t a real jumping spin stab then ;)

Well, it was a 180° jumping spin stab.  You turn 180 on the ground, and the other 180 while stabbing in the air.  Same effect.

You mean your 300 length weapon that is meant to kill horses is not super effective in all situations?

[Zanze]

You call a 1 directional attack at 250 reach super effective? I didn't know blocking down was that hard.

It's harder then spinning around the block for a dick slap kill.

I sensed sarcasm with egan's post...i think that IS his point...is that it shouldn't be super effective in all situations, but he's saying some of you pike/long spear users think that it should be.

If stuck in a 1v1 you should be forced to manually block every swing if a 1h/shield is up in your grill (or pull out your side arm).  Pikemen are a support class if you don't carry a side arm. 

Being able to stab someone when they are two or three times their weapon length away, is pretty big.

As a pike/longspear user myself, I never used spinstab. I don't think they're underpowered insofar as they are not treated as Solo weapons.

I think some of the heavier polearm weapons [Poleaxes mainly] need some form of compensation ONLY because the damage they deal is basically the same as the heavier 2h swords, except the 2H swords have superior animations and a more reliable weapon reach. The only real advantage the polearms have is their ability to break shields more easily.
