Dave, show the whole truth at least.

Mauwits, Burak and Phase, top the scoreboard.

Phase is asian, so you cant take him into account without making your argument invalid. He has to be pro!
Burak has a str build afaik, and lets be honest, strenght build makes every class easy mode except arbalester.
And there is no significant difference between mauwits and gurnis/strudogs K/D

Okay. You speak a lot about theory. Lets take last strat battle. Absolutely best KDs on their sides and both in top3 by kills. Guess what classes? Polearmers, if you want to specify - long spear users.

Nothing to say that Strudog spent 1/3 of the battle inside of the village protecting spawn from cav.

Hah, classic. You want to be an item balancer and you take Strat battles as your reference?

It is true, long stabby weapons, whether it's a Pike, Longspear or a hoplite weapon, are the undisputed kings of Strategus field and village battles. Why? Simple, they are the best support weapons and because of constant respawns, there is simply always someone to support, which allows you to use the weapon in an environment that maximizes its efficiency for one and a half hour straight. Ever tried playing an offensive ladder siege with a Longspear though, without actually gaining a foothold? They get outshined by far by Steel Picks, Morningstars and Great Mauls, and that is why you don't use Strategus scores as a balance argument.

Oh my god DaveUKR got 60-0 in Strat with an Arbalest, OP, nurf.

Polearms are inferior to 2handers.

Slower, same damage, the lolstab can outreach swings, ghostrange, never bounce, histslashes.


I agree, with Gunri, polestagger was a total bullshit, but for mother of god, NERF 2HANDERS a bit.

panos learn 2 play nub, 2h is hard mod pole easy shit

I tend not to take Strat fights into account but Panos wanted it. People tend to read only those parts of text that they want to read. If you reread my posts you would clearly see that I'm not stating that polearms are better or even as good as 2h. It's obvious to everyone that 2hs are better if you gather all the facts. I was just trying to say that these classes have little bit different purposes and the gap between 2h and polearms in balance is not that big.

Players tend to compare incomparable things. You can't say that arbalest is better than a longspear on any distance more than 5 meters even though it's obvious.

After you get on an higher level you automatically use better stuff cause you can survive their upkeep, and yes. But still 2h is fucking easy, everybody can handle it, and with some little tricks like abusing the animation, shaking/wiggling around abit .... spinning, stuff like that its very easy.
