Honestly, it may well simply be because I'm not used to the turn speed but I think the turn speed nerf should be reversed full stop.
I'm pretty horrid at using 1hs now, I find it significantly harder to hit with overheads and stabs, I've not tried 2h but the polearm stabs even on short weapons were pretty poor, especially detrimental to my application of power with the Shortened Spear, the block stun from stabs is pretty lame as well.
Er, maybe just buff stabs?
