More 1 slot polearms

[LordRichrich]

Currently, 2h has some very nice 1 slots, like the langes and the military sickle.
Polearm has the military fork and the staffs.
I propose making the Voulge 1 slot, but increasing the price to around 4000ish (from the current 1,069)

The regular Spear could stand to be 1-slot as well.

Same length as the Military Fork (and thus unable to rear horses), a bit more pricey, 1 less pierce, 4 directions with 2 more blunt (17b swings), less weight.

1 slot pole is foolish !

At least spear should be 1 slot. It's weight characteristics are same as some 1 slot poles.

Making the spear 1 slot would make the shortened spear and the military fork obsolete. Buffing 1 weapon to kill 2 others. Meh

More or less the only reason to need a 1 slot polearm is if you are a piker or cav with a shield. As such, I am against adding more 1 slot polearms.

So what was the reason for 1 slot 2h?
It buffed ranged melee. What if ranged melee want a polearm instead, but all the choices are crappy? Personally, with an arblast, I'd much prefer the voulgue over the 1slot 2h's

Most range players wouldn't use them anyway because a polearm on your back gets in the way of your cross hair (unless you shoot in first person)

I disagree with this. Most of the people I see using Shortened Spear or Military Fork already are NOT doing so because it's one-slot and they're trying to maximize what they can bring. Whatever their reasons, that's not it. The Shortened Spear is likely to remain THE weapon of choice for 3 STR builds as it has no requirement whatsoever, unlike the Spear. The Military Fork will remain unique in being the only 2-directional 1 slot. I'd wager they'd be about as used as they are now- which is some, but not much.

Making all weapons 1 slot should allow my amazing toolbox character : Xbow shield cav thrower !

But. Light crossbow, shields and throwing weapons are already mostly 1 slot :/

Light crossbow, bolts, heavy throwing axes and elite cav shield?
