Archived Suggestion: Sticks Being Used As Weapons

[R_O_B_E_rt]

I have recently been playing on other PVP servers which feature classes. One class which caught my attention was the spearman class. The idea of the class is that you have a stick which does less damage than an iron axe but has a higher range. I think this would be a good idea for role-play because you can now become a spearman and be effective. Also this would be a good weapon for poorer players who could use this as cheap deffence.

but, for the richer, they can enchant them and keep everyone far away with a sharp 5 stick that doesnt break. However, i do like this idea quite a bit, but perhaps with a bit different stats would be nice.

Maybe the shovel could be used as the spear instead? So a shovel is a spear and a shovel?

I agree with the enchant issue with this. But it could be limited so it would only do about as much as a sharp1 dia sword. Plus there wouldn't be MCMMO for it.

But still, it is the range i have somewhat a question with, You can keep someone in the corner and not lose a single heart, if you attack first, and it would make it harder for the enemy to attack back, because i may seem like someone looking for excuses, but knockback is something too. Perhaps it can give then nausea, like a certain % chance to do it, so the enemy can still attack and POSSIBLY win, but also so that the one with the stick gets a certain advantage to where it can weaken the enemy, without being overpowered

I've seen this brought up before & I think it would be a great idea, especially with the ever popular horses looming over our heads in the future update. Horsemen & spears pretty much go hand in hand, but what caught my attention was the whole sticks thing. I like the idea of walking around with a pair of Escrima sticks prepared to pummel the wrongs & evils that has spread across the lands.
