I need a weapon for my fighting style

Postby Xexman » Mon Nov 04, 2013 10:18 am

Ok so i have a red mace+spear that use to pass a year ago ,but doesn't now for what ever reason . The reason i have this is b/c i hate hate hate sheild man for the main part so i like having that red mace part of it . I am more or less a spearman i love the reach . My fighting style is a fusion between advance tai chi and bagua foot work . So i need a red/green that has length and has no flat any help would be great .

Moved this to new members from GM for safety reasons.

And you probably want an omni-glaive. But I'll let the pros give the weapons advice.

Galya has it right - omniglaive.

They're more common in Amtgard, from what I've seen, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work in Bel... provided you build it so it passes both safety and weight - and you practice, practice, practice with it.

An omniglaive would be the way to go. You could bulk it up to make it more mace-like if that's your preference. You run into losing your potential slot shots with the added bulk though. I'd also recommend making a shoulder buckler for your leading arm. I usually run spear, dagger, and the shoulder buckler. It's a running gag that my buckler's a magic shield for the blocking potential such a small shield can have.
