It would also be really helpful if you could put the reason for your preferences.

Warspear. Beast all around.

You can defend yourself against cav with shield, and have a lethal 1v1/group weapon when you take it off.

Ashwood Pike. Best for supporting allies with its range and its high damage for a hoplite weapon.

I use warspear, but i would say ashwoodpike is better because that reach is wonderful.

For a hoplite, reach > damage. The only reason you don't take the bamboo spear is the low damage.
The ashwood pike has both good damage and good reach, is decent without a shield and it's looks fit the hoplite theme perfectly.

Byrnie, barbutte, huscarl shield and ashwoodpike and you can rp a spartan all day :P

The problem is even if you are number 1 in NA you are still only number 467 in EU or the worst in AUS(number 17)

I personally use the bamboo spear.  People underestimate you with it, and you can always switch off the shield to do real damage again.  The reach is amazing, and it's cheap.  Plus, in team battles, you can stagger your enemies at will without having to worry about actually killing any of your teammates if they jump in the way!


Cheap is the way of the hobolite.

War spear is good all around so I voted for that, but ashwood pike is a very nice weapon too, for me it's a toss up between them, comes down to preference.

War Spear. Ashwood. Military Fork.

Ashwood is strongest, longest, but slowest.
War Spear is in the middle.
Military Fork is weakest, shortest, but fastest. Hax.


Battle fork...Meh.
