Halberd
Skill: HALBERD
School: Weapon
Complexity: 9%
Classes that acquire this proficiency:
Barbarian, Cavalier, Paladin
Description:
A basic weapon skill. Halberds have moderate damage, but can be used from rear positions in forms. There are not that many halberds in the game (our database lists 13) but there are a high percentage of esoteric ones with useful damage types. Lightbringer from Vyst is not bad, being one of the only \'sunlight\' damage weapons out there. The \'spine of the condemned\' is a hero-level halberd that does negative-energy damage as well. Other than the \'lightweight halberd\' which does holy-wrath damage, halberds tend to be heavy (in excess of half of a stone).
Related proficiencies:
pike, polearm, spear
