Polesword & Poleaxe Animations Thread [Poll]

[Eldrath]

Bump. This is an important topic to me. I feel like poles need some love and are actually busted right now.

Currently testing poleswords. In terms of damage I managed to make some in the same weight category as a two handed sword with similar damage, but more reach.

What is very weird though is the position of the stab animation compared to the crosshair. It feels off compared to other weapon types.

Yeah, I've asked Henrik several times about the animations of poles after he said "There needed to be data to support it." While I know 56 people isn't everyone, it's a pretty good reflection of the poll when 98.2% of the poll users agree that the animations are bad.

I mean seriously, they are.

I just don't see the current bat-like wind ups, terrible charge speeds, sub-par damage, along with bad hitboxes (Due to the animations) being fair to the weapons.
