The Item and Class Stat Balance Thread

[Winter]

i like the idea but i had a similar idea with draft axe and winter said no so gl

Do not presume to speak for me.  The "draft axe" =/= Dragon Halberd.  I can only assume you mean Dwarf Axe, and that is a short 2h Commando weapon.  The Dragon Halberd is a very long halberd for Pikeman.  They are two completely different weapons.

I had a bit of a different idea for the dragon halberd. Considering the shape of it, logically if it was swung overhead at an opponent that was too close, the head of the halberd would reach over their shield and hit their head. I suggest lowering the cut damage and speed to the numbers shown below but also adding crush through.
Current stats - 95spd/64c/46p/169r
New stats - 92spd/58c/46p/169r, can crush through blocks
This change would leave the halberd more unique, the only non marketplace crush through polearm, while also leaving it weaker in melee against non shielded opponents.

I'm not sure how I feel about simply slapping crushthrough onto a weapon that is not only this old, but also does cut damage.  There are no other non-boss/dev crushthrough weapons that deal cut damage and it would simply seem out of place.  Still, I do agree that there needs to be more crushthrough polearms.  Right now Commando is unique in that it has crushthrough weapons beyond marketplace tier (in fact, it seems they have crushthrough at every T4 rarity) and it would be nice for Pikeman to share in this privilege.  Maybe other non-cut polearms would be more suitable, though.  Still, it is a possibility.  Maybe large-headed long polearms will be getting this treatment in the future.  Suggestions on this?
