Stabbing is overused.....

[Tzar]

Am i the only one, who´s gotten sick of it : 

Im a stab molester myself, but atm it just feels like every other none good stabbing weapons are obsolete.

How about we spice things up, an we buff swing speed across the board :

NOTE: Im not talking about a specific class, both 1h/2h/polearm stabs are just overused.

I just wanna see people starting to use more swings, rather then stab stab stab.....

EDIT: What im trying to say is, that i just wanna be able to use my swings, without feeling like im fucking myself over for not sticking to stabbing.

Stab is overused, because it is OP since the last patch.

They just added the OP´ness on stabs to 1h´s since the patch. Stabbing on Polearm/2h have always been a blast

Afaik, both 1h and polearm stab animations were changed, making them hitting hard even in the very end of animation (just like 2h), increasing its effective reach. So yeah, more stabbing appears nowadays.

You don't say... haha just had a moment, 3 guys approaching me hoplite, shielder and 2her, blocked them all with downblock the first attack three attacks at once, I was dead 4 seconds later but made me lol and then saw this thread

Nut really bitching or asking for a nerf, all im saying is, that it would be great for diversity in attacks, that you could resort to other attacks then stab.

For me cRPG´s best feature was the diversity in builds and combat, now combat just feels boring.

Then BLOCK DOWN ffs.

Seriously, if someone uses nothing but stabs, then you just block down.

Nut sure if im gonna try and reason with you, refering to your regular posting.

But im not talking about vs stab, im also talking about using the stab, as your opening attack because of the overwhelming power behind it..

In short, i think stab is fine, but i wanna see the other attack directions buffed in terms of speed, to make it more attractive to use, rather then stab stab stab....

Everyone uses stab as the opener for its reach. I myself use left swing more than stab, because tbh, unless you wiggle it a bit, stab still glances a lot at point blank.

And please dont try to act hip by ridiculing my posts kthx.

if you mean LEE and awlpike I'd agree with you

seems these two weaponz are everywhere atm

[Tzar]

Bump.

Thoughts: Buff right swings across the board, would make it more viable for people to use em, instead of stabbing  :

Well if your talking about distance group combat then use an English bill, there longer than most stabs and hit like a son of a bitch on the overhead. (Used a Swiss halberd in an EU strat battle and was destroying bastard sword/awlpike/great sword stab abusers. English bills have become a new requirement in NA strat armies ever since FCC showed everybody how gay they were)

The main thing that is OP about stabs is that they have a continuous animation that, if aimed at your opponent and gets within range for a second, will land the hit. The polearm right swing, for example, is longer than its stab. The only problem is that you have to time the right time of the swing to hit your opponent when they are just in range. If your fighting a stab abusive weapon just get face hug them and if they suddenly stop back the fuck up for a free hit, a kick is coming

tdlr; stabs are more than counter able as long as you have your timing down for the range game or you face hug enough so they glance their stabs.
