Pick a perfect pokey polearm

[Gricks]

My favorite is the battle fork. A bit slow but nice damage and not terrible length.

I use war spear most of the time when in shield pokie mode.
It has a good amount of length and does a good amount of damage.
It also more effective than bamboo and ashwood in one on one situations where someone knows how to block two directions.
Another thing is that I like having the ability to sheath, plus it doesn't seem to glance as much.

the shorter pokers like military fork and the regular spear are super fun to use also. I just wish they were still able to rear horses. . .

go with a warspear definately, though i do not reccomend the spartan build at all, as you get 30 percent penalty to speed and damage using a polearm with a shield. you would be better off just using the war spear with no shield, which is what i do, but you have to be good at manual blocking.
