Josh Sawyer said that Pollaxes are supposed to be "best of" Slash/Crush weapons.

However they only do slashing damage - the beetles have 30 DT vs Slash and 15 DT vs Crush, so if it was working, the Pollaxe would be doing Crush damage.

I just meant to report that but you beat me to it.

Greatswords are also supposed to be best of Slash/Pierce but Josh already knows that/has probably fixed it by now.

Nice find, Sensuki!

I'm also pretty sure all implements are supposed to be best of damage types, but Rods and Wands are not set up properly either. That may have changed though.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I have added this issue to our database and will add it to the known issues list as well.

 

Please continue to enjoy the beta and thanks for the support!  :lol:

I noticed you added Pollaxes to the bug list - but there's also Great Swords, Wands and Rods that don't have a best of property either when they should have.

Also, it's poleaxe, not pollaxe.

 

Edit: Apparently pollaxe is an acceptable variant spelling. So I guess never mind. Still, pollaxe feels so wrong...

That's the way Josh Sawyer prefers it spelled, he did a Bachelor in Medieval History or something.

The 'poll' in pollaxe comes from the same root as, say 'take a poll.' That comes from Middle English and means 'head.' See also 'poll tax,' a tax levied on all taxpayers equally, i.e., per head.

 

So a pollaxe is an axe for hacking heads, whereas a poleaxe is just an axe on a pole, which is way less cool.

 

Etymology, brah.

except it has a crushing side too.  poleaxe looks better.  no one wants to use an aluminium pollaxe.

Axes usually do.

If you put your hand on a log and PJ hits your hand the blunt end, I assure you, your hand will take crushing damage.
