Im a huge fan of the Bec, hits very hard/ fast swing but must be good at maual blocking due to its short length.

If your not very good at manual blocking stick with the longer weapons!

Do you ride horses at all?  The bec cannot be used on horseback at all, while the long hafted blade can horse slash.

Edit: Turns out the bec can be used on horseback and my source is outdated or just wrong.  :oops:

Everyone uses a Bec, go for something more original. I had one and just felt dirty at how easy it was to kill people with...
Just because I troll doesn't mean I don't care.

I've never used polearms, but just picked up a pike from the ground to do something about horses. I found it laughably easy to stop them with one WPF.

So, my question: What's considered the entry-level polearm, just for anti-cav purposes? I don't necessarily want to kill the horse, but some damage would certainly be nice. Should I just go for a spear, or do I really need a pike for the basic thing? Or don't even go as high as a spear, and a simple pitchfork will do?

I don't intend to spend any WPF for polearms or anything, so it's definitely not for melee combat. Just something to counter annoying ponies.

Most cav will have heavy lances with pretty good range i would recomned u getting a pike ;p
