I've been using the Ashwood for what is now my 3rd or 4th gen. I would not, however, claim it is the best. This is a matter of opinion. Here is my breakdown of what hoplite weapon you should choose:
If you want damage, the Ashwood offers the best pierce. Throw a shield on and you're pretty much the best support clutch on your team.
If you want reach, the Bamboo offers the furthest range. This way you can hang back behind your teamates and still support with your pole stun.
If you want speed, the War Spear offers the quickest attacks. It's reach is low, but in times of dire need you can bench the shield and unlock an additional two directional attacks.
If anyone in here is looking for basic tips on how to play a good hoplite hit me up on steam @ Kreczor
