8867, Staff/spear specs lovin'
Posted by Narissa on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Think this specs needs lovin'. Somehow I don't it's good enough. Seldom I see anyone using crescent with spears. Also I'd rather use misdirect as compared with leverage. At least I know I can lag the opponent, whereas leverage has only some chance. So why practice leverage at all?

Against all other specs in pk, spear is usually picked for impale for the quick bleed and str/dex loss. Defensive strategy wise, staff/spec specs can't hold against most other offensive specs like concealed, riposte, pincer, etc. Damage wise, they are disadvantage to those dual wielding.

I suggest taking out leverage. Move crescent to leverage skill level at 23. Have something called a backswing at 28. It is a a follow up action after a successful misdirect. Something like rotating the weapon around the wielder's body and hitting with a backswing, one end of the weapon under the arm and the other end swinging at the opponent. Random hit the chest (50%) for bigger damage, hit head (10%)to a bit of like cranial cum lag, hit arm (20%) for small damage cum disarm, hit leg (20%) with moderate damage cum short dex loss.
