About Polearm future concern

[Hiehvorak]

Hi guys, i was wondering about Polearm weapon. I know that Laz(i dunno the reason why) not including that weapon(except for sin Naginata and necro Scythe) in median.

So is there is any chance that Marco will put back polearm weapon in any future median release?

In vanila diablo LOD, Druid and Sorceress have the highest attack speed than the other class. So IMO and suggestion if polearm is back in Median, may be made it as DEX based weapon and with TU, SU, RW variant that dedicated for melee sorc and Werewolf druid or even make it also the required weapon for werewolf is sword or polearm.

as a side note, i also want to know why Laz remove it in the first place.

Thanks for reading.

You might as well ask why laz did anything. answer is going to be "because that's what he wanted to do." Just enjoy your naginata

Polearms simply joined the Spear class. They're still there.

nah, i dont need to ask about anything
therefore then the answer is because he is intentionally do that

As far as I remember they were under-used and were removed.

Need to adjust the animation speed as well to be viable.

One of main reason why it was under utilized because 2hand weapon was way weaker in old median2008.
we have hcmtf and max block, and there wasnt much %avoid stat for player except maybe assassin.

Another problem is that so many skills are weapon restricted, and only builds able to use one already have their own class specific 2h variant.
