So is it possible to kill someone in plate armor with a sword, or do you need to find a way around it? (looks like it would be hell to try to stab through...)

[elfounek]

@MultiFireballz pfuuu hard question, not generally, of course there is some type of a sword against some type of an armor where will be possible if you are lucky, but generally you have to find some way around it.

This is not historical reconstruction, this is pure stage combat, the real fight has quite different techniques, like wrestling (sorry for my english, hope I wrote it comprehensibly)

I enjoyed it man, a nice variety of attacks. A lil faster & that would be very entertaining. Good to see a big maul being used for a change too lol

[elfounek]

@kurtisdeakin thx

[Isseinoyuu]

why not try your hand at choreographing a more realistic fight? this one is obviously just for fun for people who don't know anything about medieval combat to enjoy but how about something for those of us with more knowledge? :)

[elfounek]

@Isseinoyuu hey good point, so next time I will try to do something for those with more knowledge ;-)

0:10 Ret uses repentance. way too early in the fight for something like this

0:38 Ret uses Zealotry.

0:43 the protadin used HoJ. Pretty smart.

0:52 Prot goes for a heal and ret rebukes him. Nice move.

0:55 ret uses HoJ. Too late in the fight for something like this.

0:57 prot trinkets!

1:04 prot uses Inq. Looks like he's getting serious!

1:14 prot with a 3 pt shield of the righteous

1:23 ret goes for a heal, but gets rebuked by prot!

Now this is true European martial arts, not like the fencing they teach now a days.

@MultiFireballz : There are various techniques that deal with how to kill a man in full plate using a sword. One way is to turn the sword around, grabbing the blade and hitting the enemy on the head with the guard, using it similar to a hammer. Others involve using a "half-sword", where you use one hand to grab half way down the blade, and use this style to put more accurate and harder thrusts into the weak spots of the armor (armpits, inner thigh, etc..). Hope that helped.

Where did you get the maul, I don;t see that many two-handers out there, usually see one handed?

@MultiFireballz

In case you still wanted to know. Plate Armour was designed to protect the wearer from a sword. If you want the best weapon to kill a man in plate armour you will need a weapon designed to defeat such Armour, a sword of any kind is not such a weapon.

@Brandonkerrfl Real plate armor is usually heavy, but the guys who are supposed to wear it are trained to handle that weight, and thus, can fight with the same agility and maneuverability as any fellow not wearing plate armor.

Just don't expect them to swim.

[Brandonkerrfl]

Is this real plate armor? Was it really that light and maneuverable or is this stuff made out of aluminum and especially light?

[BlackLionRampant]

@MultiFireballz There were specific techniques used for armored sword combat. Even for plate there were ways to do it; combatants would often half-sword (one hand holding the blade) so that they could slip the point between joints more accurately. Then there's stabbing with a dagger through the visor.

there are many spells dont just use meel
