outdamage maybe, outspeed? not at all. they use their autoblock shield and insane reach each time i try to stab, if i hit their shield, i get an insane stun and if i come to close they can still do their insane stupid turn (wich my weapon cant btw)
You can do stupid turns with a long awlpike, maybe not on EU 2, but on EU 1 the long awlpike should have reasonable turn speed. The long awlpike can easily stab at facehug range. So yes, outspeed and outdamage, outdamage by a fucking lot.
I dont care that my pikes arent good at 1v1, but with 1v1 we mean combat were the attacker is very close to you. the problem here is that the ONLY thing where my weapon should be good at (stabbing from a range) is impossible against a class with a weapon that shouldnt have a this insane range (unrealistic, so i hate it).
would you want it that a weapon that is able to outspam you when you let it come close also is able to outreach you? what would you do?
No hoplite is able to outspam a long awlpike, you don't get the long stun unless you do a late hitting stab, although the mechanics are kinda funky at times. What is unrealistic about the range of hoplite spears?
If you really have that much trouble in a 1 vs 1 with a long awlpike against a hoplite, you might want to learn to chamber, or switch weapons.
