@Nyquil44 Thanks a lot for some nice material 
, most "official" streamers either don´t have videos yet, or when they play, they roll assassin with mage stats and only left click melee weapons without usage of any abilities at all ... and they don´t understand why they keep dying. Why didn´t they spend at least half hour studying the game, this way they´ll discourage viewers and look like total noobs -_-
Keep them coming, really thank You.
yes, but so far in streams it looks like mages have upper hand 
@Jetah please don´t there are some first person fighting games, but all of them suck - some more, some less, but still differ from reality too much. Im glad theres some mmo from isometric perspective (as rpgs should be 
)
@Jetah The guys i know who train italian sword fencing actually use lighter weapons for training - techniques are easier to do. And my group train with regular battle weapons (or older weapons, but regular weight), you gain strenght by working out and endurance by jogging, with weapons you train techniques 
In fractured i´d say 2h weapons will have 2x dmg of fast weapons, because they´re on 50% of their speed and devs stated their dps is same. And i also hope nothing can one shot you in the game 
@Jetah I know, was just answering to Mr. Gibbx.
Just idea:
So far modifiers on spells are "bigger dmg for bigger mana consumption", right? But awith exception of more mana management, there´s no skill involved. Couldn´t it be more like "spell gives more damage, but AOE is considerably smaller" - if you hit due to your skill, you get rewarded, if not, spell is on cd and you wasted it, "more damage the close you are to target" - you´re getting closer to danger, so again risk vs reward. Or "more dmg = more delay" you would cast spell much longer, but high dmg would balance chance to miss / chance to be interrupted, "dmg gradually growing the longer you cast spell" - you´re pinned to spot, so any ground targeded skills continue damaging you and youre just free target, but dmg is massive" etc etc.
Or is it stupid considering game will have many CCs (and we don´t know yet how will these work)?
@Gibbx We were talking about Poleaxes weighting 4kgs vs full fantasy/manga huge 20kg + poleaxes
And in shield line formation body on body fight sax/big knife is much more usable than big weapons In fantasy world in 1v1 fight you´re probably right, but it also depends:
assassin: hmmm would I rather hit something with a Poleaxe (heavy 2h weapon) or a Dagger (light1h weapon)?
hmmmm...
2h weapons specialist in heavy plate: hmmm would I rather hit something with a Poleaxe (heavy 2h weapon) or a Dagger (light1h weapon)? hmmmm...
@Gibbx Literarilly every time i attack roof with dane axe, enemy instinctively protects his head - if he only raised the shield so he could still see me, the weight of axe would move the shield anyway and he would get headshotted. Although you can actually block top attacks with your 1h sword - polish style - it reliably works only against another 1h sword, it´s pretty bad against 1h axe due to center of gravity on the very top and totally unusable against beast such as daneaxe. And yes, feint works against them Exception is kite shield - much bigger shield protecting whole body - feint doesnt work there, because they dont raise their shields as much
So youre partially right - all depends on shield: little (bucklers) dont obscure vision at all. But offer no protection against 2h weapons / shields. Normal shields are activelly blocking medium shields protectiong from everything. And big kite shields are so big you can actually concentrate on attack (but these were mostly shields for raiders to protect legs - but usable by infantry nonetheless).
@Tuoni An when we´re at AOE attacks - will melee attacks with (for example) 2h blunt weapon attacking in "medium size cone" be considered AOE? It looks like melee aoe, but probably not, right
