Official Survey about item power

I find it amusing that once 2Hs were nerfed, polearms suddenly became ungodly overpowered, even though polearms as a whole have not seen any major buffs for many months now. I guess people were too busy complaining about being lolstabbed and lolslashed by everyone and their greatswords, and archers and their longswords.

Remember the Looney Toons Axe? Or the old Bec de Corbin? Or the poleaxes from when they were first introduced? Or the Long Hafted Spiked Mace a few months ago?

I switched over from 2Hs to polearms a few months ago. Although polearms have received no buffs during that time period (they have either been nerfed or seen no changes), my weapon has magically gone from unexceptional to SUPERGODPROHAXNERFNAO. I truly cannot offer an explanation for this.

Its bcos all weapons except 2h have become overpowered and 2h needs some buffs like the ability to block arrows with downblock (or something like that.)

If this ability is given only to the flamberge because of its awesomeness I wont complain either.

Clearly the only solution is to give 2handers a special move... i think if they press forward up back down forward then attack they should be able to send a WIND SLICE across the battlefield to one shot anyone in the way. that would be fair, i think it is necessary for the underpowered 2handers.

nah we don't need that... we can still reroll a shielder alt with a steelshield autoblock mode.

Aww yeah babe

[Mala]

But thats a shielder.

Well... with time, people earn experience and can min/max builds, get more heirloom points and so on.


In fact you can expect something that was ok a few months ago to become overpowered as habits change and people learn to exploit broken features better.

Even the looney tunes axe survived a very long time, because until it's very end there wasn't any char that was fast enough to use it effectively, and very few players were using it.

Now that many 2 handers have gone polearm and I also suspect some throwers, archers that liked the melee part and 1h that lost too much damage with the heirloom nerf to have switch for polearms, some issues arise. Furthermore, we try to promote diversity on the battlefield. Even if polearms aren't overpowered (honestly I think some of them were and still are), everyone shouldn't use them.

nerf 2h&polearm speed. That's all.

Actuallythatis normally a two hander, just the guy went a bit nuts with str broke human limits and is using it as a dirk.

Suggestion that will make everyone hate me....

Nerf, everything.....just too many weapons that are way too effective.
