You don't see people using the bec on horse the same way you don't see people using glaives or even warspears. You need the extra range ANY lance provides. 120 can't compete with 170, and its something mandatory on horseback.
EDIT: The Glaive is just too... weird, i got one.
The Bec de Corbin's price is 1.5x the Long Hafted Spiked Mace price. And agains armor of the same price they do the same amount of damage. This is fair.
But the LHSM Knockdown and the Bec de Corbin don't.
Throwing should be short ranged - high damage.
Consider this:
Increasing the wpf needed to be accurate with throwing weapons will force me to go from a 11PT/3 agility build to a 7 PT/15 agility build. With light armour (I have that now) and 5 athletics. Now I can suddenly get close to hit people and move out before I get surrounded. Something I can't do with 1 athletics.
For me it wouldn't change much, as it would require me just 1 additional hit to kill people with my throwing weapon of choice. I would just get a lot faster on my feet and my throwing animation would be a lot faster (higher wpf and agility).
Hafted Blade
weight 2.25
requirement 8
spd rtng 95
weapon length 132
swing damage 36, cut
thrust damage 20 pierce
Penalty with Shield
2,450 gold
Vs
Long Hafted Knobbed Mace
weight 2.8
requirement 12
spd rtng 95
weapon length 133
swing damage 31, blunt
thrust damage 21 blunt
Knockdown
3,328 gold
Why should you go cut when you can go blunt, knockdown and same speed range for a little extra gold?
By the shape hafted blade (Not the longer version) wouldn't be bad as a bonus to shields weapon since the only 2 axes polearm has available cheap are very slow... say something like this would be better imo:
Hafted Blade
weight 3
requirement 10
spd rtng 94
weapon length 132
swing damage 36, cut
thrust damage 20 pierce
Penalty with Shield
Bonus against shield
(Don't forget polearms get -22 range from grip so it won't be that long)
