Unbalanced? Noo way - For me its weird that the ashwoodpike is better than the awlpike ~ Its faster, you can use it with a shield, on such high ranks of dmg dealers (Awl = 36p , Ash = 33p) on MW it really doesnt matter anymore.
Stabs are overall kind of weird in the game (see 2H too)
But if you think its overpowered - play with it for some time, depending on your playstyle = You probably gonna glance alot , you will have weird recoils , and sometimes cant even kill an enemy.
I know its weird reading it from me.
For me; A weapon is overpowered when you can roll over 90% of ppl without even playing with it for a long time, that would be 2H - but therefore that 2H is an beginnerclass which you can also quite master its fine. Its not like you give a man a new weapon and he doesnt know how to kill with it anymore. You can see it in strat, where ppl have to get other weapons than their standard one, they will be not as good as with their normal weapon they are used to. Some can deal with it better cause of similarities, some not that good.
