Urgrosh and Charge

[horse]

Does the Urgrosh count as a spear or polearm for the talent Charge? If not, then is "reach" the tag for polearms?

Thanks.

Urgrosh does not count as a spear or a polearm for Charge. All polearms and spears have the "reach" tag, but also staves, whips, hoopaks, and some unique weapons have it.

Thank you for the clarification. Interesting to note that the urgrosh and the hoopak do not count as spears, as the former is described as a "spear-axe" and the latter is 90% of a spear but with a sling on the bottom.
Not saying that they should as clearly they're that way for balance reasons, just found it a bit counter intuitive.

I strongly agree. Since there's no "spear" and "polearm" tag visible to the player, then all we have to go on are the descriptions of the weapons, both of which mislead by including the word spear. It should explicitly state that these two are not spears for the purposes of the charge talent, either in the weapon descriptions or the description of charge itself.

[Zorbus]

You're right, it should be more clear.

The next update makes the urgrosh and the hoopak count as polearms/spears for the Charge talent. I'll also list the applicable weapons in the talent description and mention Charge in the descriptions of each of those weapons.
