I don’t know about the rest of you but it drives me nuts when I am using a spear or pike and using the heavy attack to do a forward stab at something and I suddenly find myself falling off of or climbing over something I am trying to hid behind.
the reason I have a pike in the first place is so I can build a fence around my house and keep wolves and other predators out I don’t want to be climbing over it every time I stab. Yes there is a time and a place for a lunging stab but there are also times when you don’t want to expose your self to death by staying behind a wall.
I don’t know what block does with a pike but it would be cool if you could use it to toggle standing in place and stabbing.
