Save the Long Maul

[Penguin]

Buff thrust damage or remove it outright. If the long maul thrust somehow does less damage than a wooden staff and shares the weakest thrust in the entire mod (with the practice sword) then why even have a thrust at all?

Up the speed from 70 to 76. It's unusable if you can't just kite as a naked or lightly armored agility build and backwhack people. It's too slow to use if you have too much strength, and has no crushthrough, the main advantage, if you have too much agility.

Only maul that has enough distance to be held to crush trough, without getting slapped in your face by a scimitar spammer

Is....is this a joke? I don't know anyone that could possibly lose with a scimitar(that's not a level 13 peasant) against a long maul.

After being spec to Elio for a little while on EU1 when he was Long Maul'ing, I'd say the weapon is just fine

Scimi right swing as many other 1h got more reach, just saying. And thanks to insta-swings you can practically start your swing as a 1h after 50% of the long mauls overhead animation is completed. For me its just borked right now and I am raging way more than having fun..

Edit: But I like the thrust, its nice for poking teamates

The long maul does what it is good at. And it is a pretty decent melee weapon if you don't forget you better be 100% sure about overheads and thrusts.

[Thomek]

I'd say it could use a slight slight buff..

It's fun and seeing more usage of it wouldn't hurt. It also has enourmous weakness with its speed.

[Gurnisson]

It really needs a buff and have needed one for quite a while.

[ThePoopy]

long maul is so slow, when you knock someone down they can still block your next attack.

[Elmuri]

And the crushthrough effect is too weak, with 9ps even small swords often completely block my overheads (even if I hold the attack for some time).

[Thomek]

trick is to hold the attack exactly 1.2 secs or smth? There's a sweetspot somewhere. It's the time it takes for your char to AAARGH when you release

I think the main problem with the long maul  is that people using it think it's all about doing overheads all the time.

Pretty much this.

No, the main problem is that the thrust is utter garbage and you'll get double-hit every time an enemy is in reach, even doing side swings. And the reach ain't even that long. It truly is a bad weapon if you don't have a dedicated buddy guarding you at all times.

Too bad it's so slow and easy to see that your sideswings and thrusts get blocked all the time.

[Thomek]

Nevertheless, its very effective in siege with heavy armor and a str build..
