what are you guys talking about?
I Looked through CMpx's, fasader's, chadz [with some quality troll posts I must say], and Paul's posts and I find nothing to this affect posted anywhere.
Elaborate trollin' - a cRPG love story
I can tell you right now some of those pike rumors are, to my knowledge, misunderstandings of my proposed Long pike. However, I scrapped the idea because a Long pike [thrust only, but 350 length] would have some unintended features such as stabbing through everything within a foot and a half in front of you. Including the ~~stand behind your teammate shielder and just thrust through him~ and the funniest of all "Lol stab through a wall as if it isn't there". I proposed the idea of it being unsheathable but dropped on switch, simply by using the same mechanics as ladders in siege.
The point is, unless proof is cited regarding all of these sort of rumors in this thread -- shut up.
You want a pole arm build for a glaive? Do you prefer faster but weaker attacks or slower but destructive hits? Build around your play style.
I suggest a 15/21 build for a weaker build, a balanced build, or a 27/9 build if you want to just one or 2 hit everything always.
