0 Sensuki Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Greatswords are also supposed to be best of Slash/Pierce but Josh already knows that/has probably fixed it by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sensuki Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Sensuki Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Headbomb Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Also, it's poleaxe, not pollaxe. Edit: Apparently pollaxe is an acceptable variant spelling. So I guess never mind. Still, pollaxe feels so wrong... Edited September 11, 2014 by Headbomb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 PrimeJunta Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 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.

0 Lifeisdeath Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 So a pollaxe is an axe for hacking heads, whereas a poleaxe is just an axe on a pole, which is way less cool. except it has a crushing side too. poleaxe looks better. no one wants to use an aluminium pollaxe.

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.
