I think it's worth noting that the Poleman's sprint attack bonus applies to every weapon in the game, rather than just the native weapons. Stealing a Greatsword boosts the 60 damage sprint attack to 75, while the Mace, Morning Star, and Warhammer have a base Sprint Charge damage of 50 (this translates to 87 damage if it hits a knight!) With stolen weapons, you can theoretically become a better Knight than playing the Knight proper.

Polehammer is life. Good speed and damage all around though the range can be tricky. Every time im having a hard time i pull out my trusty pole hammer. FOR SIG- im mean FOR MALRIC AND THE MASON ORDER!

Awesome video as always, reminds be a little bit of team fortress 2 class videos. Also want to note that on the upcoming patch, the handle hits will be reworked, I speculate that includes the poleman weapons, those fast and hard to defend release hits will be no more I think. ''Many weapons were able to land hits earlier than intended due to tracers encompassing the handle of the weapon. Most notable offenders include weapons such as the poleaxe and pickaxe. To address this, tracers for all weapons were readjusted.''

playing this game on and off i've been gravitated to the Poleman from the very beginning because after the tutorial the game MADE ME a poleman in the little "ai battle" that happens after. this is an amazing guide. I personally think compared to The Officer, The Poleman is a better class for new players to use since it has so many advantages over The Officer: A healing ability that can stack up to three times and is carried over lives, sure you can heal teammates BUT you can also heal yourself with them by walking about them, so with bandage, Polemen stay around a lot longer... also you can kill a downed player with them which is hilarious. The longest reaching weapons in the game, with some of the hardest hitting attacks on top of them, allowing a new player to get accustomed to distancing and even having the upper hand on that. Two special abilities while sprinting, considering everyone spawns mid sprint, this allows polemen to immediately apply high damage to a fight OR switch it up and break a shield wall for the team. DECENT side arms, yes the cudgle sucks, the knife is meh, but the hatchet and sword are your choice to either hit knights and footmen harder, or more easily kill vanguards and archers in 1v1 combat, i tend to bring the sword with my Halberd/Pole Hammer, and the hatchet with my Spear/Glaive, so that I have some options. Spike Traps for area denial, ramps, and decent cover from archers and like you said, not the touchest class, but also not the SLOWEST, meaning they can dodge more than the knight and even clang metal more than a vanguard.

Either that or enginer ability to heal yourself when used

Glaive is I think quite significantly good in LTS, but more as a raider option than as a poleman option because of the slight footwork diff and having a dane axe or messer complement for dueling situations. It basically offers war club level interrupts but with no hitstop and over halberd range which is simply obscene for enabling your teammates to do much more than the damage you're leaving on the table by using glaive. I would disagree with the A tier rating on defense, as "maintaining player lives" is so much more important than it is on offense because of the horrendous spawn behaviors and the huge advantages that pole weapons have against players incoming to a wall of teammates. Bandage Kits are better than horn and worse than banner at "maintaining player lives" because of the consistent ability to save. Poleman is just easily S tier everywhere in every situation other than a 1v1 as long as it's on halberd or spear.

@SoterDave

Жыл бұрын

All the weapons viability is taking subclass context into account (being used on Poleman) which means the Glaive is basically the worst option. Also, regarding the tier rating on Defense of Offense, it isn't so much that Poleman is better on offense than it is on defense, but that other subclasses are better than it on defense. When all the subclass guides are finished, the ratings will make more sense. But if you want to see the subclass tier list that I've made to base those ratings off of, just DM me at 20mm#9000
