This is why heavy characters are better suited to defending offerings than going to retrieve them, similar to how they are better to defending zones in Dominion than going to capture them.
As far as damage goes, that will depend on what type of attack you are using. Regardless of whether you are using a large axe or a short sword, if all you do is use light attacks, you will not do as much as a heavy attack will in a single attack.
Regarding magic spikes, we might need more details on that. Being guardbroken, counter-guardbroken, or punched/kicked into spikes is intended, but if there is a bug please feel free to submit a video of it to us so we can look into it. The same thing goes for anyone you might suspect is cheating. Video evidence allows us to have adamant evidence to address breaches in our Code of Conduct.
