Hitting anyone in PvP is so hard unless you use a spear

Conan Exiles General Discussion

Other weapons either have short range, very narrow attacks (like 1H sword first heavy attack), or incredibly long animations (2H mace). I’m sure there are some out there who will claim to use other weapons as their primary weapon in PvP and that I just have to get better, but everyone I see across numerous PvP servers use spears, and whenever I watch a Conan Exiles video the players use spears. The sole reason for this is that most of us can’t hit sh*t without the extra range the spears provide, combined with a fast animation.

I spent close to a year away from the game hoping that this would be different when I returned, will something ever be done about this?

i know the feel bro, i personaly boycot spear and life is pain x)

Dagger have a good reach but have that buggy hitbox T_T

BUT Funcom started to revamp the weapon with 2hand Hammer & Dagger, no doubt masses and 1hand sword are on they way !

The hitbox thing annoys me, sometimes it feels like im standing inside another player and still miss.

Spears are so boring. I like them enough in PVE but the 2 hander. The Axe, daggers and the bow are my Main go toos.

The pike did help me a lot in the volcano today to get the serpent man gear. That is at least something.

Lately I have been loving the axe or mace and shield. I’m loving the knock back.

Or I like the Festering One with a Dragon Bone throwing axe.

Spears seem fine. Everything else needs buffed. Heavy weapons should have faster light attacks and Super Armor on everything. Swords should have faster starting attacks (the first light or heavy in a combo), nothing should be able to roll cancel mid attack, and so on. If you start to swing, you should be stuck in the swing until recovery animation ends.

Although I agree with this, devs must tweak the end of all attack animations, because if you can’t dodge roll while performing Katana attacks foe exemple, it will be even worst than what currently is, animations should be revised.

Use a bow. Send the cloth rolling spear users to a special place in Hell

Axe and shield is the only alternative to spear. It’s still not as effective but the shield helps mitigate the range difference, it’s got a nice leap gap closer and if you can get in close you can really do some damage. The bleed is nice too.

So many people use spears, against others using spears, it’s sometimes pretty funny when people seem confused when their spear gets blocked.

It’s a shame all the other weapons are pretty useless…but then heavy armour (except for thralls)? Orbs now their are light special arrows? War paint? There are a lot of items now that make no sense.

I’m thinking you just need practice. One of the funniest things I see in games, not just this one, but any game that uses fighting or shooting, is people saying the hit boxes are crazy off. I “totally hit that guy”. Then you watch the stream or replay and viewers are like, ummm, no…you just missed.

Come on. We can all be adult enough to admit, sometimes we feel like we hit the other player but we just plainly missed. Hit box problems? Probably more of a latency issue than hit box IMHO.
