Spears!

[MICALVpl]

I would love, LOVE to see spears in this game stab stab, long range, liniar attacks I would love to see that. Hoplite spears, ashigaru spears, Pikes and many more designs to get inspiration from!

Yea they would not be as useful as other large horde enemy kills since it would be more singiular/tight enemy kills but I would love that, have more umpf, make it feel more personal, more combat like instead of the overused ancient spin to win large horde minions kill zones. I know there are few weapons and some rare stance that kind of make it a spear type weapon for polarms but that aint what im looking for. I want actual spear type as a weapon. make them stronger in pounch but worse at large quanity enemies. long range strong pounch and non dependant on sweep attack.

Sweep attacks are overused every weapon I can't think of many that are not reliant on it apart from rapiers and fists.

Some weapons like Dark split-sword would be perfect candidates to have a spear stance. weapons like Yari, Naginata and spears like Hoplites used (maybe with a shield) and pikes for outragous long range style combat but poor sweeping attacks? perfect design inspirations! wouldn't that make melle combat more diverse? Glaves and whip type weapons are very diverse whips for ultimate sweeps, glaves for long range throwables and other cool weapon types like rapiers ect. However I think spears should be the next addition to this.

Zaw polearms don't count?

I would love seeing a melee weapon like a polearm being able to be thrown straight forward impaling enemies with some punch threw. Like a real spear would do.

I guess but its not like there is much design there is there? they are cool but thats where the page on spears ends. they still feel like polearms

Polearms = Spears... Plague Kripath with Polearm handle is just a spear... There's several Tennogen spear skins...

You have that, but with ranged weapons ^_^ But yeah, when i first saw the javalok i thought it would be a polearm...

Not really, Javlok isn't impaling, that was more about something like crossbows can do a bit but with a real spear. That's what it tried to describe by "throwing straight forward".

When they released Javlok I thought I would have a great feeling by playing it but in fact that's not the throwing mecanic that I intended. That's not as satisfiying as impaling enemies in a corridor would be, that feels more like a grenade actually, not a spear.
