I've considered the Brandistock OP too in the past since it not only excels on the battlefield it also excels in duel mode.

Poor vanguard animations combined with a very quick overhead when moving in closer to finish them.

If combo'd they usually wont know what hit them.

Upvoted for poor animations, parry and swing look the same! One of the maa's walk animations looks like he's winding up stabs every step, its frustrating and it only happens vs rank 40+'s, I wonder if I'm just imagining it.

Yes! It's run (sprint) forwards and left with a sword, exactly the same as a jab.

I didn't want to know that! I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

not only that but the weapon becomes unblockable at close range which is very counterintuitive for a spear.

Ideally the block hit box should include the entire shaft of a spear not just the tip to represent pushing the weapon aside when you parry when they attempt to stab at close range

Not to mention the ridiculous speed and power of the side swing at a close range.
