It does almost no damage 3-5 hits to kill most opponents with a glaive even more with the long bardiche in fact i haven killed anyone with it ever.


I have a website kd of just under 1.8/1 but it is rapidly declining. I get more melee kilss on a 4 PS archer alt some nights.


Im playing well and landing hits they just arent killing.

Im frustrated and dont know if i can make it to next gen before respeccing.

 today a 12 str opponent with medium heavy armour took only 1/5 health from a long bardiche hit i than received 65% damage from his pick.


If this is some kind of sick chadz joke im finished cya in native.

I believe it is related to AUS players being too godlike to be killed by polearms.

I've got 21 Str with 7 PS, also on polearms but I think the damage output is ok. The only thing that got a lot worse in my personal view is that all of a sudden I'm glancing all the time. I used to play Long Spear a lot (+3) but I cannot play it anymore cuz I'm glancing all the time, I've tried it running towards a standing target with medium armor, jumping + stabbing... glance. Dont know if some changes were done, it might also be the fact that my average gaming skills dropped to horrible.
I switched to hafted blade or axes, they work well imo.

Huh, well, that is somewhat closer to what i experience, i'm having srs trouble with my +3 LS with 9PS as well.

I normally do pretty well but when compared to 2H and even 1H the damage is not even proportionate.

Combined with the very obvious and clearly visible polearm animation it makes for a hard time as a  polearm player.


Maybe it is just the way i play rather than a problem with polearm as I get plenty of kills with 1H and 2H on my alts and when its 1 on 1 I do okay with my main but against groups of opponents being slow and bouncing far to often is a real problem.

40+ damage 120+ length weapons glancing too often ? Duh. Except if something changed yesterday, we haven't been playing the same game.

^^long bardiche was even worse.

I noticed that there were more problem of "glance" these days if the shot is not properly accompanied.
I also have quite a problem strikes that pass through my block

TBH, sometimes i feel like the polearm stab sweetspot change/buff that accompanied turn rate nerf is gone now. Probably just placebo, but still...
