Hat's Longhaft Arms

Do you like big axes? Do you like using weapons in a sensible (yet brutish) manner? Well look no further!

This mod adds an entire new weapon category, complete with Ash of War compatibility and a fully fleshed out moveset.

Longhaft Arms are halfway between a greataxe and a halberd, offering impressive stagger damage and range alongside a versatile moveset. Loosely inspired by the irl poleaxe, this class features numerous hews, bashes, and (clumsy) thrusts, allowing you to cleave through your foes like a hardened soldier. Compatible with all Ashes of War applicable to greataxes and slashing polearms, with some minor exceptions. I have converted a number of base game weapons into Longhaft Arms, and plan to add even more in the future.

LIST OF CHANGED WEAPONS:

- Longhaft Axe:

Now has a vertical slam -> uppercut heavy chain. Deals pierce damage on thrusting attacks. Can now be obtained as a guaranteed drop from the scaled misbegotten boss in Morne Tunnel. As it is no longer dropped by this boss, Rusted Anchor is now found on a beach in the Weeping Peninsula.

- Executioner's Greataxe:

Now has a vertical slam -> uppercut heavy chain. Deals pierce damage on thrusting attacks.

- Crescent Moon Axe:

Deals standard damage on thrusting attacks. Now sold by Patches, in homage to his selling of the crescent axe in the Souls series.

- Pickaxe:

Deals pierce damage on standard attacks and strike damage on thrusting attacks. Retains its unique heavy attacks.

- Axe of Godrick:

Now releases a burst of wind and a storm projectile on fully charged heavies, both grounded and mounted. Deals strike damage on thrusting attacks.

- Axe of Godfrey:

Features a unique light chain modeled after one of Godfrey's combos, as well as unique combo paths out of certain attacks that reward aggressive play. Rolling attacks are now stomps that send up a wave of rock shards, and combo directly into the 3rd hit of its light chain. Deals standard damage on thrusting attacks. Strength scaling improved.

- Death Knight's Longhaft Axe:

Features a unique heavy chain consisting of powerful spinning lightning slashes, as well as unique mounted heavy attacks that summon lightning bolts to smite your targets. Blinkbolt has also been reworked; all versions of Blinkbolt now boast increased effective range and the ability to phase through targets, allowing it to be used more defensively and offensively.
