Re-trait the Zweihander

BenjaminT

This weapon seems to have never really grabbed the imaginations in the NML community, which is a shame because it’s a really cool idea for a weapon. But since Brosita has completely changed what bruisers can do would Deca consider rereleasing it with different traits?

I’d be really interested in three trait setups,
1. Lucky/Interrupt/Concussion
2. Concussion/Razor/Ensnare
3. Interrupt/Concussion/Ensnare

All have different strategy implications but I think my preference would be V.3. Would others think this might be worth their cash?

I couldn’t add a picture to the original post for some reason.

Concussion is useless if you can’t stun, and zweihander doesn’t stun last time I checked

Only on charge attacks but with weakening it could be somewhat useful. I wouldn't ever use it over the RS though.

@Killdozer187_ is right. Zweihander can’t stun on uncharged attacks, so it’s Razor which is basically useless on it. What’s the point of body shot reduction on a bruiser weapon which won’t stun on uncharged attacks? But Concussion will still mean 2 turn stunning from charged attacks, which seems worthwhile to me.

With Brosita’s extra moves and the Weakening trait, a ranged bruiser weapon and Ensnare seems like a winning combination. I think the Poleaxe should’ve been a bruiser weapon and an obvious evolution of Zweihander.

Please may we have a bruiser Poleaxe (attacks up to 6 on uncharged attacks, same area of attack as Dragon’s Tongue) with Zweihander’s charge attack? Keep additional damage of Zweihander but bring back stunning from NBS.

Traits could be First Strike/Concussion/Ensnare
