Toffee, what kind of polearm do you feel like playing? Stab-focused, overhead-focused, two-handed style? From what I saw of you trying to pike, I will assume for this post that you wanted to focus on stabbing and supporting a team.
Examples
Stab: Pike, Longspear, Battle Fork, Ashwood
Overhead: Long Voulge, Swiss Halberd, English Bill
Two-handed: Bec de Corbin, Long Bardiche, Long Axe
Thanks for all the replies.
I originally planned to be stab focussed, getting cheeky pokes in to help people out and to deal with cav.
Once I found the pike to be too glitchy I didn't have a backup.
I'm going to avoid overheads after trying out the lumpy metal club thing and the bill as they seem to slide through opponents without doing any damage unless its dead on centre (also people seem to poke you mid swing).
I have a high str build as it was my intention to poke support instead of having to parry about all day.
I'm liking the long awlpike at the moment but it doesn't seem to be on any of your lists.
I may try the long spear though as I have found with a little bit more range I would connect more hits.
Edit: Thanks for the pike link, was a good read and looking forward to giving it a go again
