Warhammer should be the best weapon

[johncage]

It has jabbing point for penetration, blunt and sharp swinging contacts. on either side of the hammer. why this is not the best weapon?

it should be good against all sorts of armor due to those qualities. and also, it needs +10 on hit point. I'm tired of hitting a lightly armored guy on the neck and watching him run off with a tiny health. he should be dead.

thanks.

ok bye.

its one of the best 1h weapons. Personally I think the thrust damage should either be improved or removed. 18p is laughable. Doesn't make any sense on how a weapon weighted to a point should only do 18p damage. Kick up to the low to mid 20s.

Yeah, what he said.

As probably the most visible warhammer user playing these days I can say that's bunk.  The hammer works great with certain builds, and is a weapon with enough strengths that a warhammer player is rarely in an actually weak position.  The stab isn't about damaging, though it can, but about being a fourth attack.  Merely having the option of this attack is quite useful in itself.  What it does require is strength.  The warhammer's length means you often only get to hit once on some opponents, which means knockdown and the 1-hit-KO are your best friends.  Learn to use these and you should be fine.

+1


NOTE: Though, if any mod is interested, I'd be happy with a stronger stab

people keep saying l2p and such but then explain why swords have 20-30p damage. since hammers are heavier youd expect them to pack a bigger punch.

Im sorry but what does Lp2 mean?

Has nothing to do with being heavier.
try poking someone with a hammer tip. it is not easy to exert very much force with the shape of the weapon.
also the point of the warhammer is not very sharp or long so you are not going to get very good penetration.
Take a garbage can filled with lead and stick a point on it and i will take a long skinny spike.
your lead garbage can should do more damage because it is heavier right?

Now if we switched to talking about blunt damage ill drop the lead garbage can on your head for more damage than swinging around a skinny spike

the warhammer has a spiked tip.

They do over thirty blunt damage...

Some of us lightly armored guys have a lot of ironflesh and high strength, and are only wearing light armor due to a X1 multiplier...

Additionally, stop hitting them in the neck (X1 wounds) and hit them in the head (X3 wounds).

Or we're fashion conscious.

The warhammer is short weapon so if you can go closer for your enemy he can hit you.But really nice when i used my shield i die more time.

I'm going to guess it's because certain swords are made with the thrust being their primary means of damage, take the rapier for instance, specially sharp at the tip for maximum thrusting action (Oh, yeah  ).
