I'd quote you, but there a few posts you make me laugh on Shaksie.
To start, you downvoted me on polearms glancing at long ranges. Yes, they do, and when it happens it brings very nasty stun. I also like how you even mention in a post what happens when polearm stabs glance or are blocked.
Second, your post on the turn nerf? All I read is "In my Opinion" "-I- am bad at this" "-I- am bad at that." To you I say what I have told everyone else, once you get use to the turn nerf and begin to compensate you will be fine.
Third, he is talking about the German Greatsword and he is correct on the damage because we are talking about polearms(this is a thread about polearms, not 1h or 2h). Most two handed swords have a polearm mode, the German Greatsword variation has a 34-35 pierce stab attack. (So if it is 34, he may be off 1p) Tydeus is bad
I'm glad I provide you with humour!
Er, that downvote was an accident.
I am significantly better than you, this is almost a guarantee. If I am bad at something (I'm a reasonable amount over average in Aus, which let's be honest, we duel more than you guys so we are better at it than you) then chances are quite a few other people are having the same problems. Yes I need to get used to it but there are moments when regardless of how accustomed to it I am, due to having to turn into stabs for them not to glance and to do any reasonable amount of damage, the nerf will hinder my ability to fight.
Strong mathematics my friend, 38-34 is not 1.
I was actually referring to the old days when it really had 34p base and was 38 loomed, with a 2h stab animation. First weapon I heirloomed in crpg. As much as I look back on those days with rose tinted goggles, I'm still fully capable of realizing that shit was op as fuck.
While that is pretty disgusting, it's not relevant good broseph.
Now back to the topic;If a hoplite can kick well and his spear isn't too slow, he can very easily S key, kick you then stab you in the face which does hurt quite a lot. If you combat this by footwork then he can easily take his shield off to duel you; yes his spear won't be as effective as your average 2h hero but spears are not weak.
If they still know how to wiggle their spear, they can hit you when you facehug them as well.
