I put up a poll to see what the community thinks about the steel pick.

Let me know if my wording is off.

You probably should have indicated to people that the changes you would like to see happen to the Steel Pick (ie +1 speed and damage) are not actual buffs like what happened with the Longsword and Miaodao so much as they are restoring stats that the Steel Pick has lost in the last few updates for reasons that remain unclear. Also, Garison, calling the Steel Pick "underpowered" in any context is not going to get people to be sympathetic to what you are trying to point out, considering that the Steel Pick is one of a handful of 1hs (the others being the Military Cleaver, Military Hammer, Spathovaklion, Iberian Mace, and Warhammer) that isn't completely worthless in Strategus battles. It's a good weapon, just no longer the top dog against armor like it used to be.
