COMBAT STYLE CHANGES
Albion Polearm
- Disabler has been changed to medium to-hit and now chains off of Defender's Cross.
- Poleaxe has been changed to chain off of Defender's Rage and now has a high to-hit bonus.
- Defender's Revenge has been changed to medium fatigue and chain off of Phalanx. Additionally, the damage has been lowered.

1.65d
Soooo, this is Mythics idea of improving polearm styles?
Lets take a look at this style by style.
Disabler is what most use after crippling blow due to being close to the same damage as Mangle but for a tiny endurance cost.
Now - We have to use Mangle, and Disabler now moves to the Side positional chain no one will ever bother with.
Result = back to a crappy2 medium fatigue cost anytime chain.
Poleaxe after Rage? Why? Poleaxe was decent damage for a rediculous fatigue cost, now it chains of a Reactionary style whos main benefit was that its follow up provided a good damage with 9 sec stun style. The only thing we will gain from this chain now is that we have 1 good damage style and one decent damage style, in return for the extremely difficult task of performing this after an enemy uses a style on us.
In the meantime, Defenders Revenge now chains of Phalanx? wtf? So what are we meant to do with our level 50 Aegis style?
Our best stun and the best reason for polearms has now been changed to only work after a rear positional style, which basically means no one will any longer fear uses styles on a polearmer. This change is only going to benefit polers who work in fg - zerg fights, and even then the damage has been reduced now. Utterly pathic changes in my opinion which means polearmers will now be impossible to solo with or duel as we have absolutely no way at all to stun our opponent.
Nearly every single line has some form of stun from parry chains to simply slam, whilst we will now have to rely on our enemy being so kind as to turn his back to use for 6 seconds to stun them.
If these changes go through you wont be seeing me soloing in Odins or Sauvage anymore.
