Sorry Tom, but is it easier to double-swing with a glaive or a sword of war?

Looks like we have a Tom fight on our hands.

Tom Cruis are you basing your observations on fighting Rhaelys or just in general?

Well double swing doesn't matter if I cant reach the opponent. If they are faster then me (running speed, backbeddling, etc.) then I'll just be swinging at air and blocking until I get close enough to hit him/her.

Basing it in general. It can easily be slow put in a peasants hands, but in a skilled players hands, that's a different story.

So what exactly is forcing you to fight that person if he's just holding down his S-key? If he's not looking where he's going to bump into one of your teammates at some point.

Besides, what you said just now could be said of any long weapon: Long Spear, Pike, Flamberge.

Something outreaches danish great sword in swings = NENENENENENEEEEERFFFF THAT SHIT!! :rolleyes:

I would certainly get myself a masterwork glaive, but it gets in the way when I'm on horseback and I don't see everything. Yeah glaive trollers can be annoying in duels but go to battle or siege and watch them rage as their weapon of mass destruction gets stuck in every wall, friendly shields, blocks and rushing team mates :D.

wow...
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Last I checked, cRPG's length units were not CM.  You think a pike is 300 cm?  Laugh.

You checked wrong. What else should they be?

Definitely cm. 300 cm is almost 10 feet, which sounds about right for a pike.

Thing is, Paul is probably convinced that a 90 speed rating means that the glaive is exactly as fast as any other 90 speed weapon. He;s wrong though. Glaive and Long Hafted Blade have these crazy fast swings while having a ton of reach.

Shit is OP, atleast in duel, not sure how annoying the reach is in battle.

You're sorta right, but not quite.

The weapons speed explains the time it takes to finish an animation. And that's it.

However, there may be parts of the animation where the weapon is actually moving faster than others. It has been noted with polearm sideswings from the start, that the middle of their swings are unusually fast.

So yes, it IS faster than what the weapon speed suggests.
