Posted December 31, 2016 The steel spear is already visibly short(er) and has one-handed animations. Let it receive a stat adjustment to become a one-handed weapon, and the wooden spear be left as is (or bumped up to steel spear's current damage, why not?). Then create a Short Spear skill and allow a switch with Long Spear as was done with Long Spear and Staff skills once upon a time. It has always looked to me that the steel spear was intended to be one-handed. I do not know why that didn't happen, but it would be a nice addition to the game, and throughly realistic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2017 bumpity bump bump - I like the idea of a one-handed spear, and it does look like it was intended to be that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't mess with the current 2h spears, just add 1h variants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 28, 2017 As a spear user... +1! I guess the 'tricky' bit is detaching long spear from polearms parent skill, what does it become instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Keep the polearms, just need shield skill gains when using long spear. Or whatever works code wise, but it seems fine in the same skill tree as of current. My two irons. Plus 1 again bump. Edited March 28, 2017 by Brew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 10, 2017 +1 from me. Although I use the traditional longsword and shield, this would be an awesome alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 11, 2017 +1 just because I want to spear and shield bash a troll's face and would be funny to have a "This is Wurm" chest kick move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 24, 2017 so nerf spear damage to a 1h weapon? on par with longswords and axes? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Wooden spear could be 1h (may need dmg balancing as it's always been weak for 2h). Steel spear would then be 2h aka pike. Edited April 24, 2017 by Pingpong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
