The Warstaff

[idle moss]

You got it stuck in your groin and started walking on it, it didn't clip trough your armor. The groin and joints are the least protected areas in an armor. What you need to do here is learning how to counter this weapon, it seems more like the issue honestly.

Don't hug the kaktus!

starting from here, then you walked with it in your balls

[wide crag]

My balls bruh

[idle moss]

or inner thigh

[wide crag]

I do very well against everything, but this weapon has always been a problem
I'll look and see if I have clips, but the warstaff does more than it should and thensome, it's annoying to go on a rampage and then suddenly my entire shakes from it lightly touching me and then I die immedietly. It's tiresome

[idle moss]

Generally when I die from this weapon it's because I made an error and got it in a weak area. Given how many spikes it has it is only normal that the proabability it gets stucks somewhere is high.

[wide crag]

And the jank of this game only futher increases the likelihood

[idle moss]

Yeah but that is on every weapons. Like I often die beacause the dude I slained fell on me and cut me in half with 1% of his blade after dying lol

Personally I would address the jerk more than the weapon itself then

Like dying because your stepped on a poleaxe on the floor that magically got stuck in your foot

Or blade for that matter

[wide crag]

The warstaff's many hitboxes plus the games jank, and polearm physics ig, just make it a nightmare. Have no issues with any other weapon, just this one. Can't block it right, can't get lightly tapped by it, can't clash/control, just one hit and it's a cointoss on wether or not it instakills me

[idle moss]

Personally I don't have the same experience

[wide crag]

I'm jealous

[idle moss]

I have a fix for you

It helps a lot with the bullshit of the blunt weapons

[wide crag]

Thanks, but I don't have an issue with the blunt weapons
Hell I never get knocked out from the Warstaff, I just instantly die cause the spikes morphed through my armor and gave me 6 extra holes

[idle moss]

It helps because now the blunt weapons don't put you out of balance just because they touched you on the chest. Like for instance you ran toward his weapon your character took a lot of damage in the legs and fell

[wide crag]

Admittedly I was not very experienced and was still learning my halberds in the EA
But like
Tiniest tap
Dead immediately
Fully armored

[idle moss]

Also if you want a real advice you need to manage your reach better. You had the advantage but didn't use it because your weapon was down for so reason and also because you were too close. You did not use the opportunity to charge him when his guard was down and you let him have all the momentum so you can't do anything because ultimmately he has the best stick to defend himself.

[idle moss]

This helmet sucks, you can't have neck protection with it so right at the end of it your neck is extremly exposed even if it deosn't look like that

It's why you died, because he touched the gap in tour armor

[wide crag]

My weapon was down cause i was going for his inner thigh

[idle moss]

I slain those MF all the time with long swords because this helmet has no neck protection lol

[wide crag]

The tiniest gap with the lightest tap.

[wide crag]

I like the armet, and ye it has no neck protection

[idle moss]

But his weapon was in the way and it was the most protected aread, you should have went for the head with that big stick of yours you would have won

Also your weapon seems very unbalanced

[wide crag]

Are we talking about the first or second clip
In the first clip he managed to get his stick in my crotch

Second one his weapon was by my head so I was worried if I moved it it'd clip into my head like the last time, but it didnt matter

[wide crag]

The Halberd I use now I just increased the length of the poleaxe, and I was using it with low strength so it's, floppy

[idle moss]

I'm talking about the first one

[wide crag]

You can see he injured my arm, so I couldn't raise it any further, cause ofc the warstaff can just instainjure, so I tried going low since thats all I was able to do. Couldn't try mid cause he's completely armored

[idle moss]

You took a hit but your arm wasn't injured, after that you were able to do swings. You could also got into half sword and rushed his head when he got his weapon above him

He also took a hit

[wide crag]

If I did that he would have managed to get into my armor, I've tried this all before on warstaffs, rushing in doesn't work for me

[idle moss]

You are doing somehing wrong then because it's the best way to kill them

I even do it with swords

[wide crag]

This particular warstaff too swings up and down fast so, the chances of me getting in there are slim

[wide crag]

Happy for you, wish I had that luck vs warstaffs. I tried everything, it's either I get a knock on the head or get them in a gap, if i fail I die to some stupid nonsense

[idle moss]

It's not luck, it's experience and skill

you just have to get better at this

[wide crag]

This was also a bit ago

[idle moss]

Use the mod I sent you and this will be rarer. You are not used to handle their weapons so you take a lot of hits that's all

[wide crag]

I'm not using a mod as a hand-holding tool to deal with a broken weapon man
This is blatant jank, you can SEE the impact frames where the 'strike' wasn't even big

Maybe I'm missing something, but this is the only weapon in the game I have horrific events happen to me
I never struggle with the Baron and his lackeys the way I do the warstaff
Never a sword, mace, shield or other halberd

[idle moss]

Because this game reward heavy armor usage and not skill. The mod I presented to you is not a hand holder, in fact it will make Baron and other end game encounter harder simply because you won't do as much damage to them as before so you'll have to land your strikes correctly in order to really win. You'll have to manage your opponent's feet, their wiegth and throw them on the floor, just like a real armored combat. This mod fixes one problem with the game, it will be fixed later during EA.

[wide crag]

That's assuming I just run in, two hand and smack enemies in the face
That's lame and takes no skill or understanding of a Halberd
I try different techniques, I go for gaps, I get behind Bevors with the axe and rake back, I get the halberd between legs and wrestle down before finishing with an overhead chop, I manage all of this
My only issue here, is the warstaff, the whole point about this thread I made in the "Feedback-bug-reporting" thing
-# I'll give the mod a try tho, I like the idea of the harder Baron you just described

[idle moss]

At least now you will have to really better aim at the gaps because armor don't protect currently against blunt damage in this game, so now if you want to win you'll have to really aim correctly while the enemies swarms you

[wide crag]

I like the sound of that

Anyways, thanks for your inputs tho, gonna leave the clips up and add to it should I encounter more
horrors
