Said No, but I get what you mean about spears

I think longswords fit them pretty well.

The other characters shit makes sense. It’s not like the barb uses staves and wizard uses war hammers and shit. Also it’s not really comparing it to real life as it is using logic to determine what a character should have. You could try to gut check me old man, I’d give you my address and we could bet fg on it

Voted no because no. NN to devalue daggers and swords, and artificially increase the value of clubs and spears.

That being said, I honestly agree with what Matt's saying about clubs. It doesn't take any particular skill or proficiency to use a club as a lethal object. Just a strong swinging arm and not being blind. :)

Edit: With the exception of Alchemist ofc. Alchemist should always remain a gimp just because I've never managed to unlock it. Fuck alchemist.

They used em’ in real life, and I think it would be a good game change.


Voted No.

This is why people say that Samurai used spears:

Spear
Yari (槍) is the term for a traditionally-made Japanese blade (nihonto) in the form of a spear, or more specifically, the straight-headed spear. The martial art of wielding the yari is called sōjutsu.

Now. I like this sentence:

Large naginata and kanabō were also popular in this period.[7] However, as infantry were equipped with yari and naginata, this fashion died out in a short period of time. Furthermore, from the Sengoku period in the latter part of the Muromachi period to the Azuchi-Momoyama period, as tactics shifted to fighting with yaris and guns by a large group of infantry, ōdachi became even more obsolete. As ōdachi became useless, it was often cut and replaced with a tachi and katana.[8]

I suppose you could say LS v1.15 is the Samurai period of using No Dachi (ODachi) and v3.1 is the Katana period, but the spear (Yari) was for the infantry, not the samurai for certain periods.

There's a Very fine balance in this game, let's not disrupt it further than everyone switching to offcasting already has. Lol
