OK, I know they have been sugested before, but thats not what I'm to say.

The problem with having 2 handed axe/sword and 1 handed hammer is that, if we leave KockDown as it is, it will be overpowerd.
What I would like to sugest is a small fix.

Instead of Knockdown with a 1 handed hammer, attack such as counter blow cause Stumble. As the name implies, instead of falling on your Butt, you simply....well Stumble backward. This is a small compromise, Instead of Interupting the target, and stops him from moving/acting, the target has a percentage of interupting, lets say 3-4% per hammer attribute. The target is still incapable of moving and attackingg, but certain action, such as Shout's, some signet maybe and even stances, you can still activate.

This is just a rought Idea/concept, fell free to had in guys, this might be the key to adding those 2-Handed axe/sword and 1 handed hammer.

Coments/Sugestion Guys?

I always opposed one handed hammers and your idea didn't change my mind at all.

eh. Just imagine someone using a 1 handed hammer in battle. There's a reason they dont exist in any RPG/history. Hammer = crush someones skull, or ribcage or knock them down. You cant do anything with a 1 handed hammer that you cant do better with a sword/axe.

Not A Fifty Five, do u know what a mace is?
and actually real history hammers where 99.9% 1 handed
the point of a mace or hammer is smacking someone dazing them, crushing the skulls just a desirable side effect.
The hammers where fased out around the time of the egiptians as bronze smithing improved bladed weapons became easyer to make and blunst useless.
in the dark ages plate armour was invented it was so strong that most iron blades could not pierce it(steal blades stood a reasonable chance, war picks and war schythes where developed only for piercing armour and were quite useless in any other aspect so they where fabricated just as rarely as 2h hammers) when you hit somone in plate amour with a blunt weapon, you would dent the armour thsi not only weakens it but denting for example the elbow joint makes the person wearing the armour unable to move their arm.

This is however not feasable to implement into a game like gw to much calculations and only warriors can use plate armour.
the 2h hammer is just there to symbolise size and bruteness for the high damge and brute(strong and slow) skills it gives you.

What about the people who have to do without 2-handed swords?
