I say they should nerf my long voulge even more! I'm worried that if it gets fixed by a patch so that it's actually usable in PvP then more people will use it and i will no longer be special...
I can see how with all 4 directions this weapon would be way too good, but it really is the worst weapon i have ever tried to use in PvP at the moment :p and this is why i cant stop using it! If you block your opponent's attack you don't really have time for an overhead, and i find blocking sideswings with the long voulge and attempting to counter often results in a thrust, a thrust where the damage is so poor, and the enemy so close, that it just bounces and results in death. There must be some build, some secret that makes this weapon useful, otherwise why's it still in the game? lol
The terribleness of this weapon makes it irresistible to me at present. If it became good again too many people would use it and i'd need to find a new rubbish weapon to fail with.
The long voulge fits a specific niche VERY well. That niche is being surrounded by teammates at ALL times, and being confronted with enemy shielders. The weapon has RIDICULOUS effectiveness against shielders and any opponent; given that you have a great team to fight with. You'll kill people in few hits, and weaponstun people that block your overheads.
The stab is really pretty damn garbage though.
