The Item and Class Stat Balance Thread

[DR.]

Got a feeling Mangler may get a nerf soon as about a week ago we found with 2-3 mara in game that has a mangler you can stun King Ragnar. I want to guess you could do the same with Thor and Odin if you timed it well and a had a healer for thor.

So as this was on my mind for about a week I was thinking of how you could change this but still make mangler a good polearm for mara vs navel/pok.

Well, we still don't have a knockdown polearm but I don't think that fits manglers model at all. To add I think Inf should have something over pike. So crush through does the job? So I don't contradict my self when I said " Inf should have something over pike" Well Legacy just got a pike-ish mode so you could say this is the inf-ish mode for Mara.

In my mind, the spikes on the mangler would go through a shield? And if that doesn't work as an example well maybe this. 

For the Mangler, it was given less thrusting pierce because it already has so much slashing pierce.  If you look at the pike, it is a stick covered in spikes.  It would be very awkward to try to do an overhead stab with something so front-heavy 

For stats well atm it is.

I'm not sure as it would need to be tested but something like this may work. It is slower/heavier but can do more work on rag if you know what I mean eg w6 on Mara is fucked.
