Posted January 28, 2013 I don't understand why we can't have 1hander spears that allow you to use shield.. I mean no one even uses spear they obviously need a bit of buff, so why not make them 1handed? Allow shields and make it so spear does not parry. Maybe decrease the bonus against cav a slight bit but still better than other weapons.Cmon guys show some support so Rolf allows shield and spear. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 28, 2013 Wouldnt mind being a Spartan. Might give a viable way for people to fight on foot too.Spartans werent the only ones that used shield and spear, its actually quite popular throughout history personally I'd want it because vikings did it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 28, 2013 yeah mgiht be a few peeps that use spear, but realistically spear sucks pretty bad in actual pvp servers, you are better off using any other 2hander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) Also add those weapons with massive spiked balls on the end of a chain!Yeah flails that would look cool with animation.Also any word on tabards yet? Edited January 28, 2013 by CyrusX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2013 as long as with a shield on a spear only has like a 25% dmg bonus against mounts/mounted opponents instead of 250% or what ever it is now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2013 Why not; normal spear and staff can be used with a shield, little or no bonuses that polearms have, then leave long spears and halberds as the 2h spears with whatever bonuses they have now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 28, 2013 They should also add claymores just for jock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2013 I think spear should still have a small bonus against cav but have no parry.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 28, 2013 Very good idea.Here is a video that shows the different styles fairly well.+ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2013 Def +1 wanted this since they got added =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2013 Definate +1, its come up quite a few times, just make it so the steel spears are 1handers with a lower bonus against horses and the long spears stay as 2 handers with more of a bonus against cavalry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 29, 2013 They should also add claymores just for jockWell we do already have 2 handed sword which is what a claymore is lolOn the OP thought I'd say why not, as long as there is a trade of to it +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Big + to this.Currently there is too much archery and horses in pvp. Shield + spear would give unmouted players the option effectively counter mounted enemies without sacrificing the ability to block arrows.
