#17578, "Question on spin/distance for the non-specialized"


          

I have tried a few different races with this and worked on an average basis.

Characters with good dex get spin to hit off about 1-7 attacks.
Characters with good str or very large get distance to hit off about 1-23.
I dont want to sound like hastur but it seems that distance could hit off a little more. I most likely am not figuring something into the equation like , maybe it works more in PC v PC fights and all my tests have been v NPC mobs.

Anyone else want to share their experiences? I would be curious to learn of other results before drawing any real decision from my own findings.

I'm not sure that counts as the kind of experience you were looking for, and I certainly don't have any numbers to back that up, but polearms are the worst weapons as far as I'm concerned. Worst spec, worst availability, variability, vulnexploitingabilty etc. etc.
