Glaive

[Vibe]

I tested Glaive vs Danish Greatsword animation, recorded with high FPS and watched frame by frame. And while the speed of the swing was faster than the Danish (only the swing), it was barely noticable and anything but "crazy" fast.

Yeah but Danish has 92 speed while Glaive has 90.

DGS and GGS are kind of joke too

Yeah but Danish has 92 speed while Glaive has 90.

Readying the attack and releasing with a simple attack (no hold) seems slower with polearms than 2H, but the swing itself seems faster with polearms. I guess if you like to hold attacks then polearms are a nice choice since the swing speed seems faster than 2H

I thought he was testing the whole animation. Yes, swing is faster. Even I know that.

Both animations (2H and poles) are retarded though, but there aren't better alternatives, unfortunately.

I did test the whole animation, but I also said that only the swing part of the pole animation is faster than 2h. 2h has a faster start though, as in pole is longer in the chamber animation before it goes into the swing animation (on a non holded swing).

My point was to tell Teeth and Ramses that even then, the speed of the pole swing is not "crazy" or "unusual" fast, just a little faster.
