So you nerfed the only good thing maulers had going for them, this would be great addition if it could be only used on horse knockdowns to reduce lame bumpers, either change this or maul is officially ded now.

Good, fuck maulers.

I think he means outside of the highest blunt damage in the game.

That 46b dmg dont mean shit if you move like a snail and have 80 speed weapon,  knockdown was THE point of having G maul, ok it still has crusthrough but it pretty much only works againts clueless shielders who forget to backpedal, you get outreached by everything and outpaced by everything as a mauler, thats why we had knockdowns to balance this class against others, now  i dont see the point of using g mauls or maul, just go 2hGSkuyaakhero or ranged and youre winning.

Somehow I really doubt rolls will end the usefulness of knockdown. If you choose to roll, you are also choosing to be on the ground longer, not to mention, you can roll off of edges and you still collide with players while rolling (thus you stop moving).

New 1h stab feels almost as powerful as the 2h stab, I suggest either reverting the change or altering the polearm stab making it longer somehow

So 6 athletics is moving like a snail now? You can use a great maul with a 21 - 18 build.. it is just that 90% of 2h heroes choose to go pure str.

crushthrough? + it still does knockdown, just gives players a way to roll out of knockdown.

In my humble opinion, this could be considered more of a nerf to non-crushthrough knockdown weapons than it would be for just mauls.

Something tells me we will still be seeing plenty of mauls in strategus battles/sieges.

You give them too much credit. 2 full frames of the arm not doing a damned thing being within the sweet spot, isn't mirroring physics. It might need a bit of tweaking now, but it's a lot closer to where it should be, than where it was.

Just look at the point in a baseball, cricket or tennis swing where they actually hit the ball.  Then look at what happens when players swing too early or misjudge a slower ball thereby hitting the ball at a later point in their swing.  At an estimate based on some clips I'd say that their sweet spots are somewhere between a third and half way through the full swing of their bat/racket. 

Obviously cricketers and baseball players don't have to worry as much about what happens after they strike the ball and so the tend to add prolonged flourishes or long follow throughs to their swings, whereas a fighter would need a shorter more controlled follow through to maintain control ready for any counter attack or their next attack.  The principle is still the same though and certainly the last 10-20% of any arm extension during attack animations, should not be part of the sweet spot imo.

if i remember right it had something to do with more STR= higher knockdown/crushthru chance, hence why 90% go that route.

What do horizontal swings like this have to do with the 1h thrust?

[Gmnotutoo]

Thank you for the dodge mechanic, I feel more immersed in my ninja character now more than ever.

Give me a stealth option and I'll give you my undying love for forevers.

[MURDERTRON]

I think the roll covers too much ground.  Not really an issue on NA 1 Battle, but on NA2 or Strategus, its moving way too fast compared to what the people in heavy armor can keep up with.

[Latvian]

good job, fix some random things except such unimportant thing as horse teleports, good game devs, cavalry is unplayable for almost week.

[Paul]

We can't fix horse teleport. It's a cmp thing. We can only do stuff that is within our power. It's like complaining that the garbage men still take away your trash while the Euro crisis isn't solved.

[Latvian]

why cmp is not fixing it? too bussy with BG  or what?
