The Item and Class Stat Balance Thread

[Winter]

Could be fun. Can that sort of attack go through a shield wall or would it have a limited use outside the barricades only?

It depends greatly on the weapon length and how far apart the shielders are from each other.  It is similar to using a Jormungandr/other overhead stab polearm.  We were able to successfully get two people stabbing in a single spot recently.  It is usually possible, but in situations where shielders cram together tightly the slashing is a lot easier to pull off.

This wouldn't be so much as a "replace the slash attack" so much as a cool addition for a somewhat unique mechanic.  A good example was last night when Tsuki charged Thor with a Mjolnir and I stood a little bit behind and to the side of him stabbing with the AGS to help keep him down.
