Blunt Weapon Knockdown.

[Emotion]

[Ptolemy]

Knockdown is often just 1 or 2 free hits, and generally causes your death unless you're a massive tin can. I can understand why some weapons would have knockdown, but the ones that make sense also have crush through, so knockdown isn't necessary.

Frankly I think that crush through should be removed and knockdown should replace it (but still knockdown when overhead is blocked), then blunt weapons that don't cause crush through should have knockdown removed. I personally think this would be a lot more balanced for the game.

A stick having knockdown for example, is stupid. Damn iron staff.

[Miwiw]

Removing knock down, crush through and more just makes all weapons be the same. I wouldn't even have removed polestagger if the decision was up to me. There have to be differences between weapons, the more the better.

yep this makes weapons special and give them the tick to chose them

[Gurnisson]

Why would people use maces then?

Everything > Maces if you remove knockdown

This. Removing knockdown removes yet another tactical element from the game. And turns maces into slow and stubby swords.

Blunt damage is better than cut though.
That's the difference.

Explain to me, why would anyone use a mace instead of a pick if you remove knockdown?

If you buff them but remove knockdown they'll just be different looking picks. Boring

[Vodner]

Something less random than knockdown would be nice. Maybe greatly increased benefit from speed bonus, or increased armor penetration (above the bonus provided by blunt damage).

Nah, current system is fine and battleproven, no need to change it, even if a Bar Mace spammer can be painfull

It may be the best damage but the blunt weapon is very small what means they are balanced just the mauls have much blunt and they are slow as hell so its balanced !
Merci

It has to be random, that is the only fair way.

So greatswords with knockdown?

[Miwiw]

No. The knockdown chance has to be random. How can a Greatsword knock someone down if you only use to stab people or use the sides to cut into them?
