Ok ill probably use the warspear. namely because i still wanna hoplite at times. but when i find mysellf solo i dont wanna be totally at a disadvantage...
build wise im still torn between a 24/15 & 18/21
If you're familiar with polearm animations, then 18/21 is almost certainly the better choice. You will have enough ath to help get yourself out of nasty situations, and you'll be better able to use footwork to sneak hits in. Also, as a hoplite you'll be far better able to stick yourself where you are useful. You will be relying primarily on poles
tun to line up kills for teammates (the warspear doesn't deal much damage with a shield).
If not, then 24/15 will help prevent glancing, and will let you score kills with fewer hits. 5 ath is enough to footwork decently in a 1v1 with a weapon as long as the warspear, but it isn't enough to keep yourself from getting surrounded in battle (so you'll have to pay extra attention to what both teams are doing).
Make sure to put your shield away vs a competent opponent in a 1v1 scenario. I can't think of anything less intimidating than a hoplite in that situation.
