If you want to keep this mechanic on the spears, the damage needs to be lowered drastically. ~10 damage to T2 plate.
For sure...if they want to keep this mechanic, they'll have to fix it at some other point. But this is total bullshit. Rather than keeping it unblockable and making it slower or less powerfull, they should just take out the unability to block it.
I'm now playing with boarspear for over half a year I guess. I started playing with this weapon since the time, noone even thought it would be effective to use and nobody ran around with one on their back. Since then, I've never played another weapon, mastered it more than well and love it till now. But after this update, I have to feel ashamed to use it. But I don't see not to use it anymore, just because the devs made it so ridicolous. In my opinion, it is fine, when it is being blockable again. Sure it is powerful in it's damage output, but it is A peircing damage B not the only powerful weapon C unable to make combos D not having any special attacks E not making much damage to shields, armor, or weapons F only useful with stabs, which are hard to master and not that difficult to dodge.
IF devs fix this wepaon, which they obviously should after this update, they should definitely just remove the unability to block it. If they keep it this way and just nerf the weapon I love and use since stone-age times to absurd speed and damage output, I'm not sure how I will react...
