I have been trying to figure out how the DS is calculated for polearms. I'm thinking of switching my training plan to polearm but have been having a hard time to figure if I?ll be loosing or gaining in DS over TWC edged. I know I will be gaining in DF. So any help will be appreciated.

>Itll be about the same, in many respects. Its just you will be getting a higher DF single shot instead of two lower DF shots.

>Depending on the weapon you area using with TWC you may lose the defensive bonus of that weapon(Sai or Main Gauche/Left-Handed Dagger)

Nah I had been using 2 hand axes or a handaxe and bola since I also train in thrown. Looks like I might try out the polearm root and see how it is come fixskill.

>Your DS will likely increase. THW and polearms receive a bonus to parry DS (whereas I think TWC receives a bonus on chance to parry instead). Two-handed polerarms also have an innate DS bonus which varies with stance.

Well I know with my TWC training if I don't have a weapon I am trained in my off hand my DS drops a good 50-70 points depending on stance. Since I hurl most of the time I had been using a spear in the offhand and took the DS loss. Or kept the DS and uesed the second axe. But the spear seemed to do more damage the reason I am thinking of the switch. Just trying to make sure I would stay about the same DS wise in Defensive with a polearm instead of the TWC with the two weapons.
