I use thrust/sweep/bash/draw/slice/parry. Works real well for me.

I've used both well with my halberd and lochaber axe.
This is how I set them up though.. oh and I frequently will pummel at the end if the creature's still alive that is.
Dodge,draw,slice,thrust,sweep,chop.
Parry,Thrust,Sweep,Chop,Draw,Slice.

Start with a feint. Starting with a feint I routinely hit incredibly balanced on the second or at most third move using a lochaber axe at minimum roundtimes.

Halberd Combos on 05/20/2009 10:42 AM CDT
Can I get a few combos for a Halberd? I use the swapable (halberd/Quarterstaff) 60 stone one.
The current combo I use is Feint/Draw/Thrust/Sweep/Chop/Jab.
That works fine for me in terms of balance and decent damage. I just want to try out some different ones to see if there are better ones for damage output.
Tnx in advance

I love it. I have nothing against learning new things. I just think typing in different commands to do the same thing as one command is ridiculous.
Maybe if they made the other combat commands more like combat manuevers in GS4. That would be kinda awesome. With the CMAN stuff.
Then I can justify to myself using something other than 'att'

Re: Halberd Combos on 05/21/2009 07:10 AM CDT
draw
slice
sweep
chop
Balance positive, no feint or dodge, all damage. This works best for slice heavy halberds.
It's amazing i might add.
buy a slender khuj.
Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.

Re: Halberd Combos on 05/27/2009 05:48 PM CDT
Tried this combo out - draw/slice/sweep/chop with my usual halberd weapon - the khuj. None of those moves are really large positive balance moves but they do a good job keeping the damage going out and slowly improving balance.
Overall it is at least as good as the prior combo I was using which had a dodge and feint in the combo. Only problem is the lack of a big balance booster - which is nice to have since I love to use whirlwind.
I will try sticking to this combo for the next fifty ranks to give a real thorough test. Currently at 449 in halberds and am still trying to make halberds my prime weapon.

Vagel,
I use thrust, sweep, chop, draw, slice with a Theren halberd. Usually go from solid to incredible balance in one interation and stay there. With 160 something in halberd, I can destroy small peccs and maul trolls, but can't quite hit fendryads consistantly yet and can't get through mace troll shields very often.

draw/slice/sweep/chop
It is all balance positive except going from slice to sweep is -1 balance.
The problem is thrust is the only balance positive move from slice. But since Khujs have terrible puncture, ya really need to skip this step. Meigs combo is definitely a great combo if ya can get a good thrusting halb.

New Halberd Slice Combo on 12/11/2009 01:37 AM CST
So, I'm just stoked about something I just discovered; I had to come share it with everyone...
I'm a slice halberd user, khuj, scythes, lochaber axes. The standard combo(for most people) is draw/slice/sweep/chop. sweep is -1 balance(non positive) AND gives a defensive hit. I hate it.
So I've been using this combo for 7 months now. And tonight I got pissed off at it(I've gotten hit like 1000 times tonight), and thought... "I'll try a brawling move instead of sweep." Lo and behold! A new balance positive combo without a defensive penalty.
draw / slice / punch (+1 from slice) / chop. (-1 or neutral from punch)
I love it. Seriously give it a shot.
p.s.
I don't like feint sweep. Full RT, does no damage, and seems to give bad positional advantage.
Gonif,
Are you suggesting that a spell be written specifically to allow necromancers to move into an area protected by holy magic for the purpose of constructing a vulture heart candy trail for Khurek to follow?

I'm not sure why there's so much excitement over this particular combo, to be honest. Using the combat equipment compendium you can make your own custom combos depending on how much you want to favor offense vs defense. I'm constantly tweaking my combos from defensive to offensive as I progress through the teaching range of each creature.
