Flamberge vs Great Long Bardiche

[IG_Saint]

I've posted that in the beginner forum before. A search for animations will quickly find a thread with those values.

Hmm nice to know. It always felt like there wasnt much room for error in a "range" match vs another 2h handed weapon.

Where did that data come from?  Is it even for warband?

[Phew]

Disregarding footwork, if you block your opponent's attack and attack as soon as you can afterwards, your opponent can never hit before you do. No matter the weapon speed.

This is false. I was dueling an Agility-stacking Katana-wielder with my GLB (30/9 build), and every time I would block him, I would IMMEDIATELY follow up with my own swing, but he would hit me with his next attack before my swing even came close to landing. Frustrating to say the least.

lol. But, that's to be expected, right ? And to counter him with your GLB, you just have to use footwork to make his low-PS katana bounce off your heavy armor, all this whilke launching your own attack. He will be the one frustrated.

On a side note, ALL chambered attacks will hit before the unlucky guy attacks again.

The terminology people use in this game can be so ambiguous. Obviously I can't deliver a "chambered" swing right after I block, because I just blocked, so I can't be holding a chambered swing. Now, maybe you are talking about "chamber blocks" aka "ripostes", which I seem to only ever pull off accidentally. I could never rely on them as a tactic.

I got no problem with the Agi-ninjas dicing me up with their katanas, because it takes them like 6 swings to kill me, and I can kill them in one. It's just embarrassing being totally helpless like that.

With regard to your footwork comment, rushing in to the ninjas face to induce more bounces is suicide, since my GLB is useless at pointe blank (a long polearm bounces more than a short sword at zero range, regardless of power strike).

You must do overhead strikes in close combat.

I think GLB needs a damage buff.
Just look at both flamberge and GLB which would scare you shitless and seperate your body apart when someone slashes you ?
