Make awlpike unusable with shield AND/OR make ashwood pike usable with shield

might make warspear and lower a bit too powerful

It would finally work as intended that way. I wouldn't be against it.

Besides, it's hard making a 150 reach weapon with just 1 attack direction (with shield) overpowered by giving it 28 pierce. It will still suck in 1 v 1 and it's a bit short to be very effective as a support, unless you go for high agility which will in turn lower the damage output.

i'll hold off of making judgements because im only lvl 24 with 6 ps. Even so, i glance a ridiculous amount vs people in plate.

It will be good, i'd say lower it to 10-15% instead of current 30% and it's good.

I've got 7 PS and a twice heirloomed war spear on an alt and I still glance. When putting away the shield it's a different story though. Even the side swings hit hard enough to stagger and poking them twice usually puts them down.

Bamboo spear.

[Digglez]

all of the above (except balanced of course)

Given the type of poll responses, you might want to enable people to vote for more than one option.

the high-reach-high-damage hoplite weapon niche must remain filled for great justice.

Awlpike is fine. The ashwood pike needs to be usable with shield.

[dodnet]

Ashwood pike should be useable with shield. You can use all lances with shield and all of them are longer than the ashwood pike.

I voted 1 but i support 4 too, reseting poll and giving more than 1 option would be nice.

[Thucydides]

reset poll and voters given multiple votes
