Would this be effective for a hoplite?

Hello, I am currently playing as a hoplite (I do 10x better in defend the viscount) and before I go try it in pvp, I would like to know if this would be effective for a hoplite:

my build, it's very fun and pretty damn effective.
On DTV, you will probably need the chance to use a close combat weapon more than the extra speed you gain from going pure polearm.

try out some different weapons

a bigger shield (2 slot) can be useful when you arent that good in blocking, but a second weapon is useful in these clusterfuck fights.
at least you should bring a dagger or so

What about trying:

Ashwood Pike
Huscarl's Shield
Italian Falchion

This is what I use on my hoplite.

you would loose your polearm right in the moment you switch to your secondary. dont forget that

Try the double sided lance it looks better too
