Ok so my first toon in MO2 was a hybrid footfighter with spears. I had a lot of weakspots in pve and pvp in the first couple of months. I quit playing him and he is more of a crafter for me now. SV must have definetely patched it out for some stupid reason. It was working very well before but just on thrust attacks and just on head. Emalj Firm Handle with Jadeite Long Spear gave me a lot of weak spots for example.
well, in my opinion weak spot spears, like tru weak spot spears were OP in MO and aids. However, especially since the game's armor is so pierce focused (the most boosted armor: draco = massive pierce mod,) Merc plate is a decent pierce as well w/ slash. There isn't an armor that pushes slash like that cept ranger, and that's not a heavy armor. Bla bla... I think getting normal level weak spots would be cool. Every attack is a thrust (cept for change up,) so the percentage wouldn't need to be that high. Like Dracu said, you can weak spot with an axe or hammer.
Also, after being on this forum for a long time, you realize certain people generally know what's up or they don't post; thus, I was pretty convinced the moment barcode came in and said his piece.
But yea given I'm on a 'weak spot build' it'd be nice to get some. I feel like I can survive, and even as a veela I can eat soft targets pretty nice, but one weakspot can be a peel just due to psychological impact. I don't really have the ability to peel vs someone in armor, at all. Not that I need it, cuz I can do a lot of other things, but... it'd be nice once in awhile to be like HA. I mean... you'd think I'd get lucky and get a weak spot once in awhile.
They prol do need to adjust the weak spot dmg since pierce is so high (prol why the armors are so high.) 55s or whatever you get w/ a dagger are obv too much for something with the range of a spear.
