    The math is pretty good in the linked topic but if anything the 3% would be even less for reasons I have stated. What have I claimed that is wrong so far?

    Heard it here first guys, you are mediocre if you don't carry a Polearm and 6-hit set gear and food (except you can't change food mid-Limbus and you would be using Great Axe for the floors prior to above example and have zero accuracy making it not beat Great Axe anyway) for a floor in Limbus where everyone farms coins cus it's not 2004. Also for when you fight Roc type mobs, which is all the time.

    Yeah, the fact that you can melee with a mini earth staff while still doing good dmg on kings is meaningless.


    Nevermind the fact that the 2 things you're harping about are specific examples you asked for of where an extremely low damage polearm will outright beat any gaxe in the game.

    Clearly despite being exactly what you specifically asked for, they're my only reasoning in the entire game for carrying a polearm.

    Maybe should use GA on Kings and assign a mage for melees instead of using a mini Earth Staff to do LESS damage and minimize damage taken? But what do I know, taking extra time to kill things when it's not needed is a few years old now.
    Did this turn into that WARs should use Poelarm on Kings now? HAHA

    Do your kings with 6 people, then insult people for having a damage down set that lets them keep up reasonable damage while it's on.

    I wanted good and relevant examples if I didn't make that clear, you have not provided any.

    6 man what king (you know king implies HQ don't you?) using a WAR as one of those jobs, using Polearm?

    Want me to go through the last 2 pages and point out where you're wrong? There's huge blatant places in almost every single post.

    Did it ever occur to you that some people can pull off 6-man Kings without full timing weapons that have damage down on them? Keeping a higher damage weapon on and swap equipment for a half second when it's needed it way better.

    Please give me one single example where IRL will do more damage than a Perdu Voulge.

    Did it ever occur to you that I'm not even remotely suggesting fulltiming? There are many times when you need your damage down set for more than "a half second." If you can keep up reasonable damage during those times and you don't because you're lazy, guess what, you're gimping yourself.

    Are you fucking retarded? Remember the shit you tried to say was the only thing in the game I was arguing for on the last page?

    Plow this thread is about doing damage with Polearm vs Great Axe, we're not discussing WAR tanking anything.

    Just to let you know though, I doubt you can 6 man any of those NMs with a WAR using Polearm, maybe Hydra lol.

    Let me quote myself since you talk about being gimp so much:

    Fuck off with stupidity.

    Nobody ever gives up tp for earth staff or resistance, right?


    Are you guys really going to try to defeat the argument that if you're not fully prepared, you're not fully prepared, with a bunch of meaningless 1 liners that anyone that's actually involved in real challenges recognizes the idiocy behind immediately?

    Because swapping to Earth Staff is something you do atleast 10-15 times for any serious battle as DD? No. It can happen, but that is damn rare, low man or not.
    Stop tweaking your arguments you idiot.

    BTW: Why be gimp and half ass it when you get more damage reduction with Earth Staff? With your logic, stop being gimp for using Iron Ram.
