> The help file says it is a size based weapon, every post here I did on a forum search said that it was one of the best parrying wepons to weild. But if you look at the races attributes most giants have low dex, so wouldn'y that defeat the purpose of haveing a polearm. So my question is is it based on Size, Strength or Dexterity? Two-handed weapons in general parry very well. Distance makes up for the fact that giants dodge about as well as a yak stuck in molasses. Polearms are also generally rather heavy and difficult to dodge making it a good weapon for those big, titanic giants.
> Most posts say that polearm giant specs are pretty mean, but with a low dexterity and not dual weilding, it would only be reasonable to think that they would suck....could someone please clear this up for me
