well i think the genral consencous is that speed is more important than dammage in lots of ways but the problem is that what one gets sliced is random, its not a choice. i like speed for the fact that i can redo a missed special or heal faster with a lower speed.

I'ld go with speed (though like stated above, it is completely random) so that I can make moves like lunge and sweep actually worth using.

Yeah, get speed, I use my 3.5 speed LVA for duels, and my damage sliced one when I just wanna see how hard I can hit something to break my highest hit so far.

If you are going by the number that perks over their head which is influenced by how hard they hit, but also bonuses such as if they are holding a rifle, it was 9230 something to a Tusken raider done with polearmhit3. My record with polearmhit2 was 6243.

LOL, it is one of the few things that entertains me now, seeing how hard I can hit something in the game, but I plan to start up becoming a tailor, so maybe I will get off this binge of just hitting things.

i am the same way. I am an entertainer/pikeman and nothing make s me feel as good as whacking something holding a rifle.


I have been furious with my character recently. I have been using a vibro lance for about a week and a half.


and these past couple days i miss 7 out of 10 times.


I got down to near incapacitation from a chunker pest!!!! I started the fight with full health. Took out a couple of his freinds in single hit kills.


then....I just missed. Again and Again.


I honestly don't mind the missing so much. But the HAM costs are so huge that i do -170 or so to my Health and Action pools With every swing.


so if i miss 7 or 8 times in a row.


you do the math.


you know what i mean....you have been there.


We either shouldn't miss so much....or shouldn't have such high HAM......or it should only take like 1/10 the HAm it normaly would if we miss.....


it's too much


i kill myself all the time


fighting easy things


things god and I know i could kill in one frickin hit.


I have herd you tewll of the beauties of master polearm.....and I hope to god your right.....


either way....some 4000 damage hit is nice....TAKE THAT YOU LAZY PISTOLEERS AND CREATUR HANDLERS.


with your cheepness(using rancor while a novice....or at all!)and picking on slow creatures so you don't have to actually work for anything(just kite).


thier day will come


BAH HAH HAH HAH HAAAAAA

Just curious what you guys go for. I imagine once you get to master it's all damage but do you guys go for speed till you get to a certain point in the grind??


What powerups do you use as well, mind and mx dmg or mind and spd?
