I've played Lawbringer now since the closed alpha and there's always been an itching question in the back of my head throughout the time I played him: He has a pole-arm and no reach with it, at least no reach that doesn't involve him flinging himself towards the enemy. What I'm getting at is LB is about 7-8ft tall dude, his poleaxe is even taller roughly 8 1/2-9ft long and yet he has about as much range as everyone else still.
In my opinion after playing him for so long I feel he should have two modes of attack much like Highlander, not offensive and defensive stances but more like short range and long range stances. I feel for his long range stance his attacks should be slow, do more damage and take more stamina, but reward LB from being GB so easily during the wind-up of his heavies. His short range mode should entail the ability to do more light chains, quicker, less stamina cost, and less damage but allow him to acquire an opener move or two from neutral short range stance.

Lawbringer is in need of love bad, marching nerf hit him hard, the meta used to be to run him with 100% exhaustion recovery and as much stamina re gen as you could throw on him, now without any of that being a thing he can't stay in a fight for long at all, he gets knocked down, exausted, and bullied by everybody.
honestly, a good rework for him would be giving him the immovable perk Goki has, he is the tallest character in the game wearing the most armor, he should be a difficult thing the move around.

Why reduce his defense? Especially with the speed of the Wu Lin they'd easily be able to shut him down.Originally Posted by Blitzwarrior771 Go to original post
EDIT: Not only that but I was not really complaining about his OOS, if anything like I was suggesting with his "Long Range Stance" take more stamina away per attack, but deal more damage and guarantee the safety of being out of reach from GBs.

"Give him less defense"
You mean the 8 foot tall space marine type guy wearing full plate armor should get less defense? he has the tallest character model in the game and wears full plate armor, if anything he should be the tankiest character in the game by a wide margin.
Plus there is so much that could be done with the Pole Axe, it is one of the most versatile weapons ever made historically, there are so many treatys and combat books on using the thing that surely we could give him a more interesting move set that makes him more useful, and honestly if we lost impaling charge for a more useful set of moves, i would be ok with that.

*Make the light finisher of his LHL-chain as fast as his 2nd light.
*Keep his Block Shove WITHOUT follow up, so he can at least free himself from light spam
*Increase his HP from 150 to 160 to fit his appearance better.
*Give all his heavies hyprramour. If not he then who else??
*Increase his damage. For example his opener top heavy deals only 30dmg while even Warden with a sword deals 40dmg.
*Introduce a parry counter that allows the LB to cause 10dmg when his heavies get parried. This sounds harsh but badically just means, that you should not parry his heavies. Lights still give a punish as normal. It allows him to profit from block damage.
*Leave his stamina this low as it is, so he can not apply preasure for long.
