[Suggestion] Staffs, Polearms, Lances And Oh My!

[CrimsonCannon]

Since we already have a Khopesh topic, I've decided to make another one about the other kind of melee weapon I'd like to see: Double-bladed and "staff" weapons.

 

So far, this manifested into two principal ideas:

 

Sword-Staff

 

a.k.a Double-bladed Sword. We already have Bo, so why not? I imagine it as being somewhat slower, but longer-ranged version of regular swords that would allow to make full 360 attacks, making them idea for mob situations - Infested or Moa rush, for example. Not so much against armored targets.

 

Lance:

 

A "ranged" melee weapon meant to make powerful, precise attack that can break through riot shields, and generally does a lot of damage, and is good when keeping enemy at arms reach, but is not so good at dealing with multiple opponets immediately next to you. I also envision it having so sort of special "Dash" attack when sliding, a la Knight's charge.

 

 

Thoughts and suggestion anyone?

Please, tell me you mean this... just please

If you do, then i completely MUST agree with you, if you don't i still agree, but more forced, since i really want more weapon choice.

Well, to be honest, I'd really want a double-blade design, but this kind of design is fine too - the ultimate idea is to have a kind of a weapon most suited to 360 degree arcing slashes that would keep mobs at bay.
