I'm still seeing some disagreement with stabs, and I know it isn't just 1 handers. Pretty much any melee stab causes someone's butthole to pucker. So here's a thought:
What would be the effect on the game if a block in any direction were to block a stab. Would that make it better for people who have an issue with the way stabs work now? I think Tydeus has tweaked the stab itself as best he can, so would something like this help at all?
