Well I have to say I saw something strange this week. I died early, as usual and specced people. And there it was, a 2h with a gaysword greatsword glanced while attempting to lolstab somebody at 0 distance! So its actually true and not just a myth, lolstab can glance.
I think they deserve a buff, 2h are not supposed to glance in their anime world.

[Phew]

Greatsword lolstab glances are about as common as 1h thrusts that don't glance. That is to say, whenever I witness either occurrence, I am awestruck stunned for a few seconds.

Hmm... I see a lot of 1h stabs that do not glance.

[Grumpy_Nic]

Simply the fact that its possible to stab around a fuckin corner is possible makes me puke. Gayswords op

It's better than it used to be before the turn rate change, but it still has the least forgiving sweet spot of any animation. You have to admit that it's pretty silly that a 120cm long greatsword can stab so much more effectively at pointe blank range than a short sword.

[Elindor]

Well, yeah close range stabbing is kinda weird for 2h and polearms.

I don't often see 1h do close ranged stabs, maybe because they glance.  But the stab is hard to see coming because of its animation and the shield blocking the view.

The 1h stab "sweet spot" (where it won't likely glance) is roughly in the window where someone is too far away to hit with a left swing but close enough to hit with a right swing. So for a 100cm weapon, you can stab someone thats ~100-120cm away without too much fear that it'll glance. Any closer is possible, but it requires exact positioning (enemy at about your 2 o'clock) and violently turning left into the thrust while turning your camera down. So even people that know how to pull this off usually don't bother, since it feels pretty carpal-tunnel-inducing.

The only problem I see with them is that when they do the spin stab nonsense it goes through your body and they release a the stab and get full damage. It should stop as soon as the swing hits your body. Your character isn't  a ghost for Christ sake

I don't play 2h all that often outside of duel (I usually play polearm or 1h in battle, since I prefer to frontline in meatgrinders), and I can't say that I find the 2h stab to be all that annoying.

I find using the stab on long one-handers versus fast, erratic opponents to be far more irritating, in addition to using the stab on heavy polearms versus the same. In both cases I usually just resort to stabbing in the air and dragging down, while attempting to turn and strafe to keep the stab aligned.

Using the poleaxe stab around teammates is like trying to use a sledgehammer to swat a fly in a fine china shop. On the plus side, I have become really adept at quickly typing 'sorry'.

I just chamber the lol stab and then run in for the kill, then I remember the spears stab is shorter than the great swords, then I get lol stabbed after my stab doesn't reach them. Because of this common occurrence for me, I started a 1h/throwing character, 2-3 good throws or 1 throw followed by 1h knife w/ shield spam works well against great swords, no each is etc. So my point is... can't remember anymore. Nerf board shield + Khyber knife spam.
